An unforgettable day - On the recommendation of Nexus Tours representative Luis Hernandez, my friend and I took the Rio Secreto tour. The day was perfect. The shuttle was punctual and we had an extraordinary experience. We loved everything about it: jungle biking, abseiling and visiting the majestic caves. An unforgettable moment that we'll keep in our hearts forever. After a hearty meal, we rounded off the day with a visit to the archaeological site of Tulum. A worthwhile detour. I highly recommend this day of activities if you're in the area.

Pushing oneself to your limit - Different experience that push us to our limits. Not easy to swim/walk carefully on the cave full of stalactites and stalagmites but happy that we did it.

Amazing experience - Jose Espinoza is excellent and helpful in many ways. I love the human interaction I also had a great time at the dolphins but wish they would have given me more information before starting the dolphin swim. The instructor could have spoken better English. Had a great experience with Ricardo at Rio Secreto. He was very helpful throughout the tour. He allowed me to hold on to him throughout the tour and I felf very safe with him. If it was not for him I don't think I could have finished the tour without him.

Excellent tours - He had already told us about the secret river and we did not think it would be like that, the water is very rich at this time, it would return again

Most fun and mesmerizing experience ever - I had the most amazing time going on this tour. We booked this tour with the sunwing representatives luis, Josh, jose, and alberto. They were very kind and friendly and help us choose the tour that best matched our interests. They showed us pictures and walk us through the tour and clearly explained the experience. The tour itself was magical. It was great seeing the caves and doing different activities in that area. They provided us with all the equipment and did an in depth explanation about the formation of the caves and the Mayan cultures. I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of these caves and had a great time being there. I highly recommended everyone to book this tour specially with sunwing to get a great deal and experience seeing the wonderful views.

Rio Secreto Plus - Honest Review Feb 2024 - Luis Hernandez was the representative who took the time to explain the multiple different tours and options we had. We ended up going with one of his top recommendations and were extremely pleased with the beauty of the caves, the organizations of the team working at the sites and the knowledge of our guide Hector. The overall experience was one that we will remember and cherish for years to come. Our expectations were exceeded with: 1. The organization of the many teams working together. There were multiple groups and not once did we feel in the way or held back by any of the other groups, the entire experience flowed really smoothly. 2. Most of the equipment used was in excellent condition, especially the rappelling equipment (which was nice). The teams were extremely professional and knowledgeable and always ensured everyone was safe during the more adventurous parts of the tour. 3. The experience of being in the caves was incredible, the care and attention for the preservation and respect of the Mayan sacred caves was very nice to see. The awe inspiring experience of being in the caves is unparalleled, we would go back just to revisit that feeling once again. The only things which could have made the trip better are: 1. The bikes for the short ride were in quite bad condition, I would recommend replacing them and maintaining with proper lubrication due to the sea and humidity. 2. You cannot take any pictures of the caves which is okay, but we found the photo package was quite pricey (130 US) more than the cost of the tour itself for 1 person. 3. We reached the restaurant at nearly 3PM after walking, biking, repelling and swimming for several hours and we were a bit disappointed with quality of the food, exception being the hot sauces. Overall, we would strongly recommend visiting the Rio Secreto. Again, a big thanks to both Luis and Hector.
