I had a wonderful experience with Scuba Tulum. I visited one afternoon to ask about their dive…read morepackages. I booked a two tank cenote dive for the following day. When I arrived the next morning I was told they were running just a little late and was taken next door for a complimentary coffee while I waited a few minutes. Frederico was my dive master. He was a great dive master and also was a wealth of knowledge about the local area. What really put Scuba Tulum over the top was when I went back the following day to ask for recommendations on where to watch some American football games. I was given some great recommendations and had an enjoyable time watching the games. They really went above and beyond. Thank you Scuba Tulum!!!

I'll start with the positives - our dive master for the cenotes dives at Dos Ojos was excellent…read more Knowledgeable, patient, safety oriented and very helpful. Now for the downsides: 1) I asked in my emails if this is PADI shop & I was led to believe it is. It is not. The owner is a PADI instructor, however, he couldn't get certification for his shop. We found this out after our reef dives 2) Our dive master for the reef dives seemed very inexperienced & no familiar with the area. He swam very fast, didn't wait for the group - there were only 5 of us. We did not have any time to linger and explore for the small things. He was very interested in finding big fish, which there were very few. He also went into several dark caves in the coral which were dead ends and we ended up having to turn around and come back out. 3) When gearing up my dive buddy & I always do a safety check. He told us not to touch our stuff - this felt really unsafe and several of us ended up having some issues - not enough weights was the biggest problem because he literally argued with us that we didn't need as much weight as we said. 4) We had 5 divers and 4 snorkelers - they took us out on a boat that barely held the people and equipment. No orientation to the boat, where are life jackets, etc. No water on the boat for us to drink. 5) The website says $55USD for cenote snorkel that inclues lunch and cenote fees - both the divers and snorkelers had to pay our cenote entrance fees and there was no lunch. They had bananas and water. 6) On the 1st day they were late picking us up so we stressed that on the 2nd day we had to be back at our house by 1:30 as someone was arriving from the airport. On the 2nd day they arrived 30 minutes late and I missed the 2nd cenote dive because I had to go back to the house to meet the person. I was still charged the full price even though it was their fault I missed that dive. 7) Finally, they were supposed to bring a credit card machine on the last day so we could pay. They forgot it. The owner randomly showed up at the back door late one evening without warning. We are a group of women and that was a very uncomfortable feeling. He should have used the front door and notified us (he has our phone number and emails) of when he was going to show up. The waters off of tulum are gorgeous - clear, colorful, lots of sealife. The biggest reason I could not recommend this shop is because they are misleading in that they are not PADI certified.

If you go, don't bother putting on any sunscreen because you will need to thoroughly shower so you…read moredon't contaminate the Cenote and help keep the fish & nature alive. It cost $10 to go in. They have a few different cenotes but the biggest one is all the way to the end. One side is very deep, and the other is a bit shallower. I recommend taking water shoes there are lots of rocks that are very slippery. On the deeper end they have an area where you can jump down from a high area. We did jump it was fun. The water on the deeper end is so clear and beautiful and I recommend going to the caves on that side as well if you know how to swim. Also bring googles so you can look under the water and see the beautiful clear water and the fish down there.

As others have noted, no sunscreen or lotions are permitted to preserve the eco system. Bring your water shoes!! There are lots of areas when you can cut your feet.

What an amazing experience getting to dive into and explore inside caves in the Cenotes…read more Got to take a dip after visiting the Tulum Ruins which was one of the best tours by far in my traveling experience this past year. So much history, so much care for them still! We have to protect them at all costs! Wonders of our world I say. This tour from our cruise ship was a 9 hour day but if you're there on your own time and more freely to explore, definitely still take your time and enjoy! But do gotta warn the humidity especially in July when we went, it was atrocious. Pile on the sunblock and cover up still. Bring a towel to wipe the constant drenching sweat off of ya. lol

Laguna Kaan Luum is a great spot to check out while visiting Tulum. It's a lake with typically…read moreturquoise waters. It has a cenote in the middle, but only scubadivers are allowed to go. This is my second visit here and although it was still beautiful, the water wasn't as turquoise and breathtaking as I remember it being the first time I visited. After conducting some research, I do believe that has to do with the time of year of the visits. Regardless, it's still very enjoyable and worth checking out. It's basically a very calm lake. The atmosphere is calm, relaxed, and completely care free no worries vibe. It's the spot to definitely unplug and take in natures pure beauty right in front of your eyes. In the water are hammocks for swinging. An area for overlook. A few huge docks. There's also a few swings in the water. A bar area to purchase beverages and food items. Note, it does cost to get in. I believe it was $18.00 US dollars. You are not allowed to bring in sunscreen, you leave it at the door, and can take it on your way out. You're required to take a shower upon entering. Staff were friendly and explained everything well even with the bit of language barrier. My friend and I enjoyed our time for about two hours and if I come back in February/March 2026, I'd definitely come back for another visit.

This Laguna is a great spot to go swimming! We came after a long and hot walk through the nearby…read moreTulum ruins, so it felt especially refreshing. The Laguna is only a few minutes of walking away from the parking lot. There is a nice observation tower to look at the shift between shallow and deep water. Regular swimmers are limited to the shallow area on the outskirts of the Laguna (which is very expansive) while divers with equipment are allowed to go to the deep center. In the shallow areas are various swings, hammocks, photo opportunities, and even volleyball nets (bring your own ball). We spent a few hours relaxing in the water and soaking up the sun. The ticket is 300 pesos per person and parking is free (need a small tip).

We visited this Cenote after leaving Coba (1-2-20). The guard shack guy told us all about it and…read moregave us a brochure with a map. It was easy to find! We only did the Multun-Ha because we had spent so much time at Coba. This Cenote is a traditional underground pool. The hole/entrance winds down about 100 steps to the bottom dock. You can jump in; it is plenty deep. There are ropes you can sit/hold on to. Take time to just sit in the water and enjoy how SOFT the water feels on your skin. It is super clear too. It is so clear that it appears you can touch but the rocks below are very far down. The next time we visit a Cenote, I will bring goggles and a snorkel so I can look under the water for long periods of time. The rocks below are a wonder to see just like the rocks above. Be sure to make this part of your Coba trip! MOST SINCERELY!!!!

Such a magical place! This was part of a tour package and we are fortunate that our tour guide…read morechose this cenote out of the three possibilities. It was very quiet and hardly anyone but us 12 in the group were there. You take a very narrow spiral stairway down about 75 feet. I was blown away with the energy there. Breathtaking. Beautiful clear blue waters and so refreshing after our bike through the jungle and hike up the ruins. There are 3 areas to get in and ropes in the water so you can hold onto. Life jackets are available. Some people were diving and flipping off a ramp area. Waters are about 70°. I saw a few small black catfish swimming. Words do not describe the beauty. You do need to shower before you get in. There is a shower, changing and restroom area when you arrive. One of the guests said they needed to shower when we got out but our guide said the same water you are showering with is the water from the cenote lol I do not recommend you to rent a car and come here. You need an off road vehicle to get here because the road is made of rock, has holes and is very bumpy.

We loved our experience at Cenote Xunaan Ha, just outside Ciudad Chemuyil. I've only been to this…read morecenote and Cenote Taak Bi Ha in Tulum ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/taak-bi-ha-zona-hotelera-tulum ), on the same trip, so I don't have much to compare Xunaan Ha to. That said, if you take a look at the pictures and videos I posted here on Xunaan Ha's Yelp page, what you see is what you get. This place is incredibly beautiful. When it comes to nature, it doesn't get more unique or much better than this. We visited Xunaan Ha through My Quest Concierge Private Tours, booked through Viator as "VIP Tulum Private Tour." Xunaan Ha was one of three stops on our day tour. My wife and I highly recommend My Quest. For details about My Quest, including how much we paid, visit their Yelp page: https://www.yelp.com/biz/my-quest-concierge-private-tours-playa-del-carmen In regard to Xunaan Ha, My Quest took care of transportation, parking, tickets, access, translation, and pictures. Our guide told us that Xunaan Ha is owned by a Maya family. The cenote has been in the same family for generations. This is a small, open, above-ground cenote. For the unfamiliar, other common types of cenotes include semi-open and closed (inside caves, underground). Xunaan Ha is literally an oasis hidden in the dense jungles of Riviera Maya. Once off Federal Highway 307, we had to take bumpy dirt roads to get to the cenote. Luckily, it's less than a mile (about five minutes) from the highway. During our visit, the weather was mostly sunny and the cenote shined bright in various shades of blue and green. It looked absolutely magical. According to a sign at the cenote, Xunaan Ha is open seven days a week, 9am-5pm. We arrived around 10:45am on a Monday morning and were the first group to arrive. Other groups soon followed. The cenote never felt crowded, which we appreciated. It felt exclusive and off the beaten path. We don't think we would've found this one on our own. Thanks to My Quest for leading us here. As soon as my wife went down one of the cenote's two sets of man-made stairs and dipped her feet in the water, little fish immediately swarmed to her and began nibbling at her feet and ankles. I say "man-made" stairs because there's also a third set of stairs that's made out of natural rock (with a rope to help guide you). I decided to jump in from one of the cenote's two diving platforms (the higher one). The water was cool and so clean and clear. It's freshwater. Later, my wife and I put on life jackets, provided by the cenote, and snorkeling gear, provided by My Quest. We snorkeled together and it was a lot of fun. We saw various small fish, including colorful tetra, and could clearly see the terrain and rocks, plant life, and cave openings underneath the water. It was really cool. The caves go over 35 miles deep underground, under water. Scuba divers can explore them. The water temperature was colder near the caves. The rules for this cenote seemed fairly strict, but generally not unreasonable. For example, when our guide parked the car, he had to reverse the car into the parking spot. All cars had to reverse into their spots. Absolutely no sunscreen is allowed. This is a common cenote rule in order to protect the cenote ecosystems. Restrooms are available on-site. If you need toilet paper, you must request it from the staff. Used toilet paper must be thrown in the trash can, not flushed down the toilet. No sophisticated plumbing out in these parts. Cenotes are unique to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. If you enjoy traveling and have never been to one, I think it's certainly a bucket-list item.

Just seemed very clean and very ecologically sound. The lunch they provided us with was really good. Lots to choose from when it comes to vegetables and protein options. The bar was open as well. Staff was very friendly and mostly Mayan. It was good to know that we were supporting their community. Swimming in the cenote was amazing! You have to shower before hand and they give you locker keys that you can wear around your neck. Very easy to do and the facilities are very clean. Swimming was great! It's very cold but so much fun. There's a bit of a cave in the Mariposa cenote where some bats hang out so just be aware. This was a lot of fun and definitely the best surprise of the day! Very peaceful and just an overall great experience.

With so many cenotes to choose from between Cancun and Tulum, I was just hoping I decided on the…read moreright tour. This was definitely a leap of faith, given I'm writing the first review. Lol With that being said, Canamayte Eco Park was the right choice! I was kind of skeptical about the time limit (1.5hrs) but it's more than enough time to enjoy both cenotes (Chen An & Mariposa). Mariposa is the open cave. Chen An is the enclosed cave and alot deeper. Regardless, be prepared for an immediate shock bc the water is cold! Within a few minutes you'll be comfortable. No need for snorkeling gear... there's nothing to see. Just bring slides or water shoes. The walk between both cenotes is pretty rocky. They have showers and lockers. Plus a restaurant... they only accept dollars or pesos

You can swim with dolphins, seals, boating, jet skis, beach. It's not a resort it's a recreation area with residences and hotels so you get a better Mexican experience!

It's a different kind of holiday, unlike going to an all inclusive, pigging out everyday and laying on the beach. There are actually locals as well which Go there.
