We are a family of 5, with ages ranging from 50's to 14. We all loved it. Everything was really great, and I can't recommend it enough. I was trying sure about booking as I felt it was expensive for a family, but it was absolutely worth it. 5 stars for sure!”

Paloma advised us before the tour started — make sure to bring lots of water in a reusable bottle, a hat and sunscreen. Great advice because…”

Our driver was good and with ease got us to where we picked up the rest of the tour participants as well as our guide, Santiago. He was easy to talk with and had a very lighthearted attitude. It was a little bit windy that day and the tall sprinter van got buffeted around a little bit, but we made good time getting to the private cenote we would be traveling through. I would recommend sitting on the lower seats if…”

There was so much history and learning about it was so fun. We didn’t expect it, but we were blessed by a Mayan medicine man before the cenote and it was really a cool cultural experience to take part in. The cenote was refreshing and the food was super tasty. Would definitely do this again!”

“What a fantastic day! Our excellent guide was Carlos and we were in a small friendly group of 9. We started with a tour of the ruins at Coba; Carlos really brought the history to life. This element of the tour included riding a bike to various sites. We walked, zipped line and kayaked in the jungle; and saw monkeys which was a highlight. Lunch was provided by a lovely family and we walked round their animal sanctuary. The swim in the cenote was great too - we were the only ones there. Thank you also to Edgar for driving us around for the day and collecting/dropping us off at…”

We snorkeled at the first 2 and then the third we walked in waist deep water thru a dark underground tunnel with flashlights until we reached the final cenote. The third was definitely the highlight for me! Marco was a great tour guide and explained everything so we never felt unsafe. We were also alone at most of the cenotes which was great! The lunch was definitely another highlight I usually just…”
