The Experience

Before You Go

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Apply sunscreen after leaving the cenote to avoid contaminating the water; use reef-safe formulas when swimming.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV and horseback sections use sandy, uneven trails—sturdy shoes prevent stubbed toes and keep you comfortable.

Hydrate before you arrive

Humidity and activity add up—drink water before the tour and carry a reusable bottle if allowed.

Listen to safety briefings

Guides give short but critical instructions for ATVs, ziplines, and the cenote; following them prevents most incidents.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A shallow ledge in the cenote perfect for cooling feet and watching fish
  • Short beach access near Puerto Morelos for a quiet sunset after the tour

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers and flycatchers)

Conservation Note

Avoid sunscreens and insect repellents that aren’t labeled reef-safe before entering cenotes; follow guide rules to minimize erosion and litter in sensitive karst areas.

Cenotes were vital freshwater sources for the ancient Maya and often held cultural significance; the region’s limestone karst landscape formed over millions of years as groundwater dissolved the bedrock.
