Lots of walking - Our guide was amazing and we enjoyed every minute - until we have to walk to the lagoon. He said that he thought it was 200 meters. Actually, based on my Apple Watch it was close to a mile each way. My husband really struggled, even with his cane. We stayed at the first, smaller lagoon because we could not walk that far and all the way back. I strongly suggest they / you measure this exactly and make it part the the description- we would have picked a different adventure.

Nice and easy walk in the park - No sneakers needed for the walk (they are rather annoying to take off and on). Wear something that is easy to take off between different lagoons where you can swim. Take swimming goggles with you. You can visit beach and swim there as well.

Swim in a jungle lagoon. - Interesting spot with fresh water lagoons in the jungle, we got to swim with fish and turtles. There was a honey tasting and tour of the nature center. Guide was knowledgeable and it lasted 2.5 hours.

A short but amazing tour! - Friendly tour guides! Honey tasting was our absolute favorite, and the cenotes at the end was the perfect way to end our tour! Short but worth it!

Roma the star guide - Roma was our guide and she was amazing. Full of life, funny and very knowledgeable. Pointed out a hummingbird which was probablymy highlight. The pools are absolutely stunning crystal clear waters. Had a great time at the center and would love to go back one day

Cenotes are gorgeous - The ecological tour was rather quick but definitely informative with a great guide. The swimming in the cenotes was definitely the highlight of the tour. The experience was breath taking Remember to bring your bathing suit, towel and water shoes.

Eco tour was amazing - Tour guide was amazing and spoke English very well. The whole experience was well organized and the swimming in the cenotes was amazing. The only negative was the waiting for the other passengers at the gift shop at the end of the tour.

Serenity and awe of nature - Jose our guide for the eco tour of bees birds and endangered creatures was amazing and a wealth of knowledge and so personable. The cenotes were refreshing wear water shoes as the rocks in the springs are slippery. It was a very good experience and tasting The honey from the bees. The coffee cocoa and mamajuana tasting was in a different site like a souvenir store which was not what we imagined. Expected more of historical experience about them but it was good to have the tasting.

Spend too much time on the road - The tour and swimming part are great, but had to spend 2 hours on the bus to get there from the hotel and 2 hours back is kind of too long for the 3 hours total tour. Because they have to stop at every hotel to pick up guests and the hotels are not close to each other.

Expecting a little more of it - Beautiful nature to walk and refresh, but the organization could be better. We expected a little more of it and stayed a little hungry.
