Cancun Cenote Adventure: Swim Three Private Cenotes with Zipline & Waterfall
Explore three private cenotes near Cancún—waterfalls, jumps, a zipline, and a Mayan performance combine for an intimate half-day of swimming and culture. Bilingual guides, round-trip transport, and life jackets keep the focus on fun and safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Oils and typical sunscreens harm aquatic ecosystems; use reef-safe lotion and apply before arrival.
Wear water shoes
Trails and cenote edges are slippery and rocky—closed-toe water shoes improve grip for climbing and jumping.
Pack a dry bag
Protect electronics and a change of clothes—swings and jumps mean you’ll get soaked.
Know your limits for jumps
Instructors will point out safe jump heights—don’t attempt dives beyond your comfort or skill level.
