About this tour
A 6-hour private cenote and lagoon tour in the Riviera Maya for couples, families, or small groups seeking flexibility and early-morning access. You'll snorkel Yal-Kú Lagoon before crowds arrive, then swim in two distinct cenotes — one open-air and jungle-ringed, the other underground with cave formations — with a relaxed pace and customisable stops. Private transport, snorkel gear, and water included; lunch optional at local rates.

What to expect
You'll be picked up in an air-conditioned private vehicle and driven to Yal-Kú Lagoon for early-morning snorkelling in calm, clear water before tour groups arrive. After exploring the lagoon's marine life, you'll head to Cenote Xunaan Ha, an open-air cenote set within jungle, where you can swim and jump into the water. Mid-tour, you'll move to Cenote Taak Bi Ha, an underground cave cenote with pristine waters and geological formations to explore. Throughout, your guide maintains a relaxed pace without rigid timings — you can linger at spots that appeal or request different cenotes if preferred (entry fees may apply). The group returns to your starting point after 6 hours.

Good to know
This suits couples, families with older children, and anyone wanting personalised service and fewer crowds than standard group tours. You'll need moderate fitness to swim, jump into cenotes, and move between sites; infants and toddlers can travel in a pram or specialised seat, though cenote swimming isn't practical for very young children. The early start — before 9 a.m. typically — beats heat and crowds but may not suit late risers. Lunch is not included, though optional ceviche at a local restaurant can be arranged separately. Snorkel gear, water, and private transport are included; gratuities are additional. Group size varies but remains small and private.
