About this tour
A private 4–6 hour tour combining two distinct cenotes: a cave system with an underground river and cathedral-like rock formations, then an open-air natural pool ringed by mangrove. You'll swim and snorkel in both, with lunch and drinks included and a guide who can adapt the itinerary to your preferences. Best suited to anyone wanting to experience Mexico's unique geological swimming spots without the crowds of a group tour.
Highlights
- Underground river cenote with dramatic cave rock formations and pristine water
- Open cenote resembling a natural swimming pool surrounded by mangrove forest
- Snorkelling and swimming at both locations
- Lunch and drinks provided throughout the day
- Private tour — itinerary can be customised to your preferences
- Guide included; entrance fees covered
- Wheelchair-accessible transport and facilities available
What to expect
Your guide will collect you and drive to the first cenote — a cave system featuring an underground river with striking geological formations. You'll have time to swim and snorkel in the pristine freshwater. From there, you'll head to an open cenote that functions like a vast natural swimming pool, bordered by mangroves and populated with fish; again, you'll have the chance to get in the water.
Throughout the day, lunch and drinks are provided. The tour is flexible: if you've researched specific cenotes you prefer, your guide can redirect the route. The full experience runs 4–6 hours depending on how long you spend at each location and travel time.

Good to know
This suits swimmers and snorkellers who want to see cenotes without joining a large group. It's ideal if you have mobility needs, as transport and facilities are wheelchair accessible. However, it's not recommended for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with cardiovascular concerns. Infants and small children are welcome (prams, strollers, and infant seats are available). Toll road fees apply if you're picked up from Cancun or Playa del Carmen — confirm this cost upfront. The tour is suitable for all fitness levels, though comfort in water is assumed. Peak times may still mean other visitors at popular cenotes.
