The 15 Best Cenote Tours in Tulum

159 tours  ·  from $21 a head

Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote and the sinkholes strung along the Cobá road are why people stay in Tulum rather than visit it. These 15 are priced, timed and clear about which combine a swim with the ruins and which give the water a whole morning.

“This excursion exceeded our expectations! It was well organized, the guides were great, and each experience was special in its own way. The trip was run by Cancun Adventures and our guides, Jessie and Julio, explained everything in great detail and with unexpected humor. We weren’t really sure what to expect with the cenote swimming, but it really was quite exhilarating and educational. The cenote we were in could definitely be considered a bit claustrophobic, so be aware of that. Special shout out to Jessie for paying special attention to my 74-year old mother-in-law and making sure she was comfortable and safe during the whole trip. Personally, I loved the…”

Seeing the animal sanctuary and finishing the day off in a cenote all to ourselves I did not expect this trip to be as good as it was. Our guide Liliana was amazing too and made the day incredible!”

Review of Cancun Adventures’ Tulum tour with Mayan ruins, a cave cenote, Akumal turtles, lunch, transport, and practical tips.

“Wow! This experience was great. In our view, they have timed the length of each individual activity perfectly - you felt like you always had enough time on each activity without it being too much or too little. The guide David and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. We were a couple and our 12 year old son. Plenty of cold water and snacks offered in the tour bus to keep you fed/hydrated. Tulum is interesting and the views over the sea are breathtaking. The cenote we visited was in a cave and you were swimming underground amongst staligtites and even some bats. It is very narrow in places and…”

“We had the absolute pleasure of touring Chichén Itzá, the old city of Valladolid, and a stunning cenote with Paloma from Mexico Kan Tours, and she was truly outstanding. Our group of 5 was joined by two other couples with very different needs, and Paloma managed everything with such grace, attention, and professionalism. She was incredibly knowledgeable, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made the day both educational and fun. Paloma went above and beyond — she even helped us book our next tour to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, sending me a direct WhatsApp link to make things easy. She also wished me a happy birthday, which was such a…”

Review of Maya Adrenaline Tulum, with ATV riding, five ziplines, a sacred cenote swim, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“The stars are really for our tour guide, Tito/George — he was excellent. However, the rest of the experience did not match the price or the expectations based on what was advertised. The tour was supposed to be 4–5 hours, and our actual activity time was significantly shorter, with a large portion of the day spent waiting. I documented the entire process. To start, pickup was 10–15 minutes late, and I had to call to confirm that someone was actually on the way. Throughout the day, we experienced long periods of waiting with little to no communication. When the driver arrived, the van was empty, and there didn’t appear to…”

“My first time to use Viator and it was the worst experience ever ! Never will i use it again. I'm an Expedia user. We bought tickets to see Chichen Itza, a cenote, and Villadolid. It was supposed to be a 12 hour trip. We got up at the crack of dawn for a 7am pick up which we had to cab to from our hotel resort (600 Mxn pesos). We got to the pick up point and after waiting for 15 min called the phone number online (EKINOX TOURS) and was informed they had no space for us. The tour was full. We had digital tickets, a confirmation number,…”
