The 15 Best Cenote Tours in Mexico

89 tours

Cenotes are limestone sinkholes filled with groundwater, and the Yucatán has thousands of them. These 15 say which are open-air and which are caves, whether a life jacket is compulsory, what the entry fees cover and how far each one sits from Cancún or Playa del Carmen. Several are still used for Maya ceremonies, and the guides will say so on the day.

I didn't see the email till 3am that morning. I had to wake everybody early and get them up. Also they told us one price for the tickets, then changed the price days later and would not accept the prices quoted. Had to run around to find the money for the new price. Keep things consistent!!”

10.Chichen Itza Gastronomic, Valladolid and Cenote Extremo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,558 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $29

Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and a blue cenote with zip line. Full-day tour from Cancun includes lunch, water, and expert Maya guides.

“This is a very well organized tour. The pickup was on time and our guides kept us coordinated and mostly on time. Not an easy task given that we went during one of the busiest times to visit Chichen Itza, with hoards of tourists. Ricardo is a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide too. His passion for the Mayan culture comes through strong! The only thing I disliked about the tour was how much time we spent at the Mayan community shopping center after lunch. We could’ve shaved 1 hour easily off the trip. Otherwise recommend this tour!”

Half-day jungle adventure from Playa del Carmen with ATV, zipline over a cenote, and a freshwater swim plus tequila tasting.

“You need to know what you’re getting into with this tour. It’s an ‘eco park’ location which means crowds, and upsellls everywhere. That said the zip lining and atv and cenote swims were all fun. Also the ride to the eco park from playa del Carmen was long and the bus was hot, small, and crowded. It was unpleasant.”

The Cenote was beautiful and clear water, the empanadas were delicious and the tequila shot with a cricket was a new cultural experience but we did it. Best humored tour guides we ever had. Definitely coming back to do this again.”

You learn about the trees, hear stories, meet animals and try the honey they make on site. The cenote is beautiful and private and so beautiful and you are well looked after with drinks and a snack. A lovely experience.”
