    Cenotes Dos Ojos ( cenote 2)
    Carina S.

    Beautiful cenote! Entrance ~$21 US dollars Life jackets are required & provided. Cenote 2 is bigger & is shaped like a half moon You can swim from one side to the other. There is a restaurant on site for the post swim appetite which is a little pricy but not too bad. Con: Bats are very active & there are lots of mosquitoes! ::

    NGL, I found this spot on Instagram. The water is so blue in the photos that I thought it surely had to be some crazy filters people applied. Nope. It's real! How it's possible? Maybe some magic?? All jokes aside, I think this Cenote is 100% worth visiting. It is so serene, beautiful, and ominous at the same time. We drove our own car, and there is a long dirt road from where you pay entry (I think we paid around $20ish USD per person or so) to the Cenotes - around a 15 minute drive or so. Another thing to note, they do accept US Dollars, which we were unsure of and were panicking about since all Peso ATMs we encountered in Mexico seemed to be broken the day we arrived. Water was cool but not unbearably cold. We brought our own snorkels to look around at the fish/cave features. Tip - before you come to Mexico, buy yourself a waterproof phone case on Amazon so you can bring your phone into the water.

    This place is so beautiful! Definitely top two highlight of my trip to Tulum. I really enjoyed going on the tour and would highly recommend it. First, you start in a small building that has wetsuits, snorkeling gear, and flippers. There's a bathroom by here. Then you go out with your instructor to a smaller cenote to practice using your gear for about 20 minutes. After that, he takes you to a bigger one which is where the tour begins. This cenote will connect to the rest of them inside this park. However, you can only swim between cenotes if you have a guide, otherwise you have to keep getting out and walking over to the other one. During this tour, you may find some bats. My tour guide didn't take me directly to them but I saw them flying in the cave and they were very close. He was able to snap a picture of them. The tour lasted about 40 minutes and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and well-versed in English. If you want, the tour guide can take pictures of you with a waterproof camera that you can pay $20 for for him to send over WhatsApp. The pictures were great quality and our tour guide was patient with getting good pics. The water was super clear and beautiful as were all the formations. This is definitely a must see on your visit to the area

    We just got back from vacationing in Cancun and Playa del Carmen and when people ask my favorite part, without a doubt it's this. There's a 300 pesos option where you get to swim around in the eyes for a bit, but we opted for the 600 pesos (about $30) per person which included all the snorkeling gear and a guide with access to the bat cave. You're in small groups so you get the attention you want! You put on your gear and they give you lockers and they take you to the first eye for about 25 minutes so you can get acquainted with your snorkel and flippers and know if you want a wet suit or life jacket for the second eye. In the second eye, you get flashlights and follow your guide as they explain the history and show you around, just watch your head! Those stalactites get close! And then you get to end in the bat cave which is incredible! Definitely 10/10 would recommend. We planned to go to many cenotes but only got this one, but I feel like it was the best one.

    Dos Ojos was the second of two cenotes we took the opportunity to visit on our trip to Mexico. These caves filled with fresh water are just spectacular natural creations. I've never swam in something so beautiful, fish tickling our bodies, bats flying above. It all feels like something out of a movie or some sort of fantasy date on the Bachelor. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Life vests are provided but my son and I did not use them. Tons of hammocks for sitting, picnicking and relaxing. I can see where swimming around would be far less effort if you wore one, but what's the fun in that? Might as well burn some calories while experiencing this gorgeous cenote.

    Heck yes on this place!!! I loved it because it's a little off the beaten path and not many people were here. Super clean and nice. Bunch swings around so once you're done swimming you can go lay out. There is a little bar up top too so you can grab some food and drinks and then get back to swimming

    Amazing cenote! My husband and I hired a guide to take us scuba diving (husband) and snorkeling (for me). We both had such a wonderful time!! I have a huuuuuuuuuuge phobia of deep waters but I was forced to get over that very quickly! The water was just sooo beautiful you kind of just get over your fear. Getting to this cenote was a trek! You go through a mile or so of super bumpy roads (our guide called it getting a "mexican massage" LOL) and your butt gets sore by the end of the car ride. There was this super awesome bat cave entrance where you slide through via snorkeling a super tiny entrance. It looks super scary at first but its definitely worth it! The bat cave is pitch black except for a tiny opening on the cave ceiling. It was such a wonderful experience!!

    love swimming and this was so surreal. I read about the cenotes before visiting Tulum. So many people said they are spiritual and honestly it does feel like you enter into another world. You walk down stairs which take you underground. So because we were underground and I read so much about spirituality I was so scared to actually put my head underwater with my goggles on and see the underwater tunnels that deep sea divers, dive in to go even deeper into the cenotes. They looked like portals into the underworld. So kudos to my friend who was so brave, imo, and swam around the entire cenote with her head underwater and didn't feel like she was going to be pulled into the underworld because that's how I felt. I just slowly walked on the rocks. But don't let me scare you I really enjoyed the cenote. Driving to the cenote you get to see the mayan peoples homes.  And when visiting the cenote please please go with a tour guide if it's your first time going.

    Truly a magical place! I was able to propose to my girlfriend in their underground Cenote Taak Bi Ha. It truly was a magical place, so magical that I even forgot the special words, since I was so blown away! But I was able to get on one knee and ask her to marry me! We even were able to get in the water and take a swim, the water was crystal clear and a bit chilly at first but you'll get acclimated pretty quick. There is something just so special in swimming inside a cave with fossilized stone all around you! Yes there are bats inside the cave, but that's part of the whole cave experience right? This Cenote will definitely hold a special place in my heart!

    What a wonderful place!!! I definitely recommend it, the caverns is just amazing, the water is beautiful everything is just a heaven. If you can bring a wader proof case for you phone to take pictures under the wader on the open cenote, you may be enchanted by the view.

    I am a landlubber, not a water person, so it takes a special place to get me to shed my deep water phobia and dive in (okay, maybe tip toe trepidatiously in while squeezing my husband's hand with a death grip.) The Mayans believed cenotes to be gateways to the afterlife, and for a second I thought I was going to be scared to death, but after a few minutes in the water I was floating around peacefully. Cenote Dos Ojos is definitely special and was so worthy of the quivering and shivering I did while spelunking around the caves. The cenotes are so beautiful and it's a cool experience to snorkel in freshwater. What the cenotes lack in flashy exotic fish, they make up for with amazing geology, bats, and a serene experience that comes with being in a dark place with just the faintest amount of light trickling through. The operation here is pretty well organized and the equipment was just fine. For $50 (American) my husband and I were able to snorkel for two hours in a small group and get access to parts of the cenotes that one can't go to without a guide. Nota bene-may not be great for people with claustrophobia (luckily not a problem for me) as we snorkeled through some pretty tight spots. Being in freshwater without the sun meant no chance of sunburn (yay) but I was really cold by the end and would definitely opt for a wetsuit the next time, which they did offer me at the beginning of the trip and I foolishly declined. Our guide was great-can't remember his name, but he kept checking in on me and my fear level. Muy amable. This is the only cenote I've been to but I would go back (deep water fear and all) to experience it again.

    The second eye of los ojos
    Lyndall C.

    It was very easy to snorkel in both eyes without a guide. I really enjoyed the second eye but I wish we had brought water proof flashlights. We could see under the water by watching the divers lights.

    NOT for the beginner diver

    Fabulous ! I've been Scuba Diving for more than 30 years and this is one of my favorite spots ! Dos Ojos means "Two Eyes". Cenote means "a natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath." There are a series of cenotes along the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula. Dos Ojos is NOT for the novice scuba diver. There are plenty of spots to set up your dive gear. The walk to the entrance is moderate in length and difficulty. (assuming you have 30 pounds of gear on your back and are carrying your fins and mask.) Entry into the water is easy and you are soon on your way into the cool, clear fresh water. The Two Eyes (sinkholes) are connected by a series of totally submerged, underwater tunnels that get tight in some spots. You have to make sure your tank doesn't get caught on the rocks. The route is easy to navigate as there is a yellow nylon rope on the bottom that you follow. Safety First ! As I said, the tunnels are totally underwater. Some areas are totally black and fully covered by overhead rock (Cave) while other parts have sunlight poking through. (Cavern) A flashlight is a must for this dive. There is one spot where you can break the surface and come up into a true Bat Cave. I'm sure it's safe to breath in there but I kept my regulator in my mouth. Just say No to Guano. Ha ! I highly recommend this dive.

I did not appreciate the requirement to wear a life jacket in shallow water to snorkel with the turtles. The amount of people in the snorkeling areas was way too much. People were kicking up sand, flailing in the water and pushing people (me) to get in front of where any turtles were. It was extremely disappointing. The only reasons I got any photos was because I have a GoPro on a stick. I would NOT do the turtle thing again. I would however go scuba diving. That seemed like they took out small groups on small boats so it wouldn't be overcrowded.

The boats are small, with room for 8 or 9 divers. Back roll entries are required, as these boats aren't large enough for a dive platform. The boat captains were very good and able to deal with both calm and rough water efficiently. They also helped carry gear when needed, and helped divers deal with gear as they got on and off the boats. I observed ADS dive staff working with student divers, and they seemed patient and thorough (I'm a dive instructor myself, so I can recognize when other dive pros are doing a good job). Safety was a high priority. Overall, a great experience and we were glad to have a chance to dive with Blue Experience Diving and the Akumal Dive Shop.
