3-Cenote Tour: Design Your Route
You choose the route. Three different cenotes in one morning: caves, crystal-clear water and underground passages, with top-quality gear.
What you’ll experience
- 3 cenotes in one trip, deep in the jungle.
- You pick your route when booking.
- Wetsuit and dive lights included.
- 2 hours of guided snorkeling through caves and open water.
- A drink and some downtime in nature.
You head 4 km into the jungle to a world of underground rivers. Every cenote is different: caves with stalactites, turquoise open-air pools and gardens of water lilies.
With a wetsuit, a light and a certified guide, all you have to do is look around.

What our guests say
"Loved the experience. Ricardo was awesome helping us with every step. Definitely recommend using him for furture tours 💪"
"I had an incredible time in Akumal thanks to Ricardo. He's super kind, friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. He really helped to make Akumal one of the highlights of my holiday!"
"My two kids and I had a fabulous morning with Ricardo in Akumal. He looked after us as soon as we got off the collectivo and made sure we had the best time ever. He made sure the kids were looked after so well too and made sure they had a buoyancy aid to hold onto when swimming out. We saw so many turtles including a baby, a ray and a puffer fish as well as loads more. I really couldn't recommend him and his tours enough. Five star day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
