The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

Drink water before pickup and bring a refillable bottle — the day is active and tropical heat adds strain.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

ATV tracks are dusty and can be uneven; closed toes protect feet during mounting and dismounting.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply biodegradable sunscreen before arrival to protect cenote water and coastal reef life.

Secure your phone

Bring a dry bag or chest mount for photos — ziplines and cenote swims can quickly soak loose devices.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short snorkel off Puerto Morelos reef ledges just north of town for calmer waters
  • Small beachfront palapa stands in Puerto Morelos that serve fresh ceviche and cold agua fresca

Wildlife

  • Iguanas sunning on low branches
  • Tropical birds such as kingfishers and herons around the cenote edges

Conservation Note

Reef-safe sunscreen, packing out waste and following guide rules help protect fragile cenote ecosystems and the nearby Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.

Cenotes on the Yucatán formed from collapsed limestone and were vital freshwater sources for Maya communities; nearby reef formations influenced coastal settlement patterns.
