Great day trip - We had a great day exploring the different cenotes. Our guide was entertaining & knowledgeable. The cenotes were amazing, especially the cenote that you repel into.

Highly recommend this unique experience! - What an amazing and unique adventure visiting four different Xenotes and learning the history behind them! Our family absolutely loved this experience!! Adrian was an incredible guide as we cliff jumped, zip lined, rappelled, snorkeled, kayaked and swam in the cenotes. Definitely recommend purchasing the photo package ($125 for a family of four) so you can relax and enjoy (without worrying about keeping track of a water case while mid air!) Jonhy took nearly 400 photos of our family! Rosalita prepared a delicious lunch with sodas, beer and wine as well. Mid morning snack included soda, coffee and tea.  Trip was just over 7 hours in total. Other tips: - Tight fitting water shoes are a must - Towels are provided, so no need to bring from your resort - Brings a credit card to purchase the photos and cash for tips - Pick up time is in the right corner of the confirmation email and doesn’t change (I wasn’t sure if it would as we approached the date)

Best Cancun tour we ever had - Great trip. The most comfortable trip we had in Cancun ever. Van is nice, all the Cenotes are maintained extremely well, and the food / drinks are great. We enjoyed the tuna poke / chips with all you can drink Modelo especial. Activities were safe and very well run. Highly recommend this trip.

Fantastic day! - We had a fantastic time on the Cenote tour! Alex, our guide, was fantastic and went out of his way to make sure that my sensitive, initially timid 9-year-old son had a memorable experience. We left from the Xcaret Mexico hotel and headed north. It was roughly 75 minutes to the first stop: 2 cenotes where we did some brief kayaking and snorkeling (though not much to see underwater). My son wasn’t feeling well after the first stop (a combination of being a bit sick and a bit of a wuss). Alex quickly engaged with him, made some jokes and got him some hot chocolate and he perked right up! The next 3 cenotes were far more exciting. The 2nd stop was a zipline that my son was initially afraid to try but he worked up the courage and had a ton of fun. If your 6-8 year old is scared of heights, this might not be the best experience for them, but they just might surprise you! The next cenote has a small water slide, followed by another zipline, a short swim and then a jumping rock, roughly 15-20 feet above the water. This is probably the most fun stop. It was followed by a lunch (make your own sandwich, solid spread). The final stop was rappelling down into a deep cenote and then jumping off of a nearby ledge a few times. The return trip was closer to 90 minutes in a small shuttle with approximately 18 people on board. This is a very worthwhile way to spend a day in Riviera Maya. Tip: the cost of the photo package is a bit confusing. If you are considering spending the $$$, ask the photographer for clarity and then let him know that you plan to buy if he is able to snap some awesome photos of you. Our photographer seemed extra motivated ti make sure that he got good shots of us - which he did!

Well organized and fun, great day! - This experience exceeded our expectations! Well organized, attention to detail, authentic surroundings to an incredible natural wonder, superb guides who were patient and fun, reliable and timely transportation. Great diversity of activities to explore the cenotes in a fun way. Food was timely and sandwich bar was impressive! Only constructive feedback is that we would have liked to heard more about how the cenotes came to be. There was a pictoral display at the final spot, but no explanations. Well done, and would do again!

10/10 for tour, 3/10 for customer service - This tour was SO MUCH FUN! Our tour guide, Aldo, was the nicest and funniest person we met on vacation. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the area, eager to answer questions, and gave fantastic directions for each activity. We saw six beautiful cenotes, each unique in its structure. I’m knocking down the rating of the tour because of the parent company, who overcharged for their photo package and gave my wife a hard time when she asked for clarification. If you’re not planning on using their photos package, I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Again, I cannot say enough good things about our guide (and frankly our photographer, who was absolutely lovely). It’s a brilliant tour and great for a low impact and biologically fascinating excursion. Unfortunately, the tour company doesn’t treat their customers as well as the tour guides do.
