Private tour of Tulum and swimming in a cenote
Our private guided Tulum Cenote tour starts with a visit to the Mayan ruins of Tulum, one of the most important Mayan archaeological sites in existence. It was primarily used as a trading hub, where everything from precious stones to chocolate and textiles were traded.
Due to its prime coastal location, it also offers some of the world’s finest views of the Caribbean Sea. As you explore the ruins, your guide will point out highlights like the main temple and the impressive Temple of the Frescoes, where you can see ancient Mayan artwork.
Our next stop is one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s famous cenotes, underground caves that formed from rainwater eroding limestone for centuries. One of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya is to go snorkeling in cenote in their crystal clear waters.
It’s a fun, relaxing activity that is perfect for everybody since there are no waves/current to contend with. We also provide all the equipment you need, with a professional guide to show you around! Best of all, the cool, refreshing water is one of the best and most beautiful ways to escape the constant heat for a while.
After you’ve fully explored the cenote, we’ll end the tour by stopping at a local restaurant in the jungle where you can enjoy a delicious traditional meal.
