Showing 33 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
Cenotes are the reason the Yucatan has almost no rivers above ground. Rainwater filters through limestone into vast underground channels, and where the rock roof collapses you get a cenote: a natural freshwater pool, sometimes open to the sky, sometimes a cavern reached through a small mouth. Around Tulum there are hundreds, and a guided cenote tour is the easiest way to reach the clearest ones without renting a car. Tours fall into three rough types: open swimming holes, semi-open pools that mix sky and cavern, and fully enclosed cave cenotes lit by shafts of light. The water sits around 24 to 25 degrees Celsius year-round. The tours below are ranked by traveler rating and value.

- Are cenote tours safe for non-swimmers?
- Yes. Open cenotes have shallow areas and life jackets are provided on every tour. Tell your guide if you are not a confident swimmer and they will keep you in the easy sections.
- What do I need to bring to a cenote?
- Bring a swimsuit, a towel and biodegradable sunscreen only. Regular sunscreen and bug spray are banned to protect the water, and most cenotes ask you to rinse off before entering.
