How much do Cenote tours in Cancun cost?
What exactly is a cenote?
A cenote is a natural pit or sinkhole resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Cenotes were sacred to the ancient Maya and are renowned for their crystal-clear fresh waters, stunning geological formations, and unique ecosystems.
Do I need to be a skilled swimmer to join a cenote tour?
While being comfortable in the water enhances your cenote experience, you don't need to be a skilled swimmer. Life vests are provided for safety, and there are cenotes with varying depths, including some shallow enough for non-swimmers to enjoy.
How long do the cenote tours last?
The duration of our Cenote Tours varies, typically ranging from half-day tours of a few hours to full-day excursions that include visits to multiple cenotes or combined activities like zip-lining or visiting Mayan ruins. Specific tour durations can be found in the tour details.
What should I wear and bring on a cenote tour?
Wear your swimsuit under comfortable clothing and bring water shoes for better traction on slippery surfaces. We recommend bringing biodegradable sunscreen to protect the cenote's delicate ecosystem, a towel, a hat, sunglasses, and a change of clothes. A waterproof camera or phone case is also a great idea to capture the beauty of the cenotes.
Are there any age restrictions for cenote tours?
Most cenote tours are family-friendly and suitable for all ages. However, certain activities like zip-lining or challenging swim routes in some cenotes may have age or height restrictions. Please check the specific details of the tour or contact us for more information.
Can I explore the cenotes on my own during the tour?
Guided tours ensure you get the most out of your visit, providing insights into the cenote's history, geology, and ecology. However, there will often be free time for you to explore the cenote at your own pace, swim, or simply relax in the natural surroundings.
Is transportation included in the cenote tours?
Yes, round-trip transportation from Cancun to the cenotes is typically included in our tours. This ensures a comfortable and hassle-free experience as you explore the Yucatan Peninsula's hidden gems.
