Xunaan Ha Cenote
An open-air cenote where freshwater meets the mangroves. Wide, sunlit, and surrounded by jungle: swim and snorkel through crystal-clear water with fish and mangrove roots below you. The most accessible and relaxed of the three stops. You arrive early, before the crowds.
- 3
Taak Bi Ha Cenote
The highlight of the tour. An underground cave system where you swim through limestone passageways by lamplight: stalactites overhead, blue-tinted water below, and complete silence except for your own breathing. Your guide leads you through the cave, pointing out geological formations millions of years old. Unlike anything you’ll experience above ground.
- 4
Lunch
Lunch at a local restaurant with fish, tacos and quesadillas.
- 5
Private Cenote Experience
A cenote reserved for your group: no other tourists, no crowds. A calm, intimate swim to close out the tour. The perfect way to decompress after the intensity of the cave cenote.

Amamos o tour, especialmente o santiago e Noé. Carro muito bom, cenote é lindo. Somente deixaria como conselho deixar mais claro q é importante levar calçados de caminhar na praia e tb proteção para celulares na água
Booked YTC for two days - Bacalar Trip on day one and Chichén Itzá/Cenotes for Day 2. They were very responsive and allowed for customization of the itinerary which was the major reason I picked them. Our driver Gabriel was great and got us to the location safely. We requested for him on Day 2 and were pleased YTC accommodated us. Gabriel showed up on time, was professional and respectful. Communication was quick and easy via what’s app. Thank you!
A very varied tour with a lovely and informative guide Tania. Highligh was surely this beautiful Cenote without any other people, highly recommended.
I had a great time on my tour. The guide, Iber, was very knowledgeable, kind and fun. The lunch with the Mayan family was absolutely delicious. We were served endless amounts of freshly prepared tortillas, some of the best I've ever had. The entire meal was mouth wateringly delicious. Loved the zipline over the water and swimming in the cenote. I will definitely use this company again in the future and visit some of the other cenotes.
This yoga class exceeded all my expectations! Andy read the room perfectly and accommodated different levels, and even provided a great session for my pregnant friend. After the class I felt mentally/emotionally balanced and physically invigorated. I would definitely recommend Andy if you’re looking for a great yoga class in Tulum!!
This company was extremely professional! I initially booked a ride with them for my group (13 friends traveling together), and they made some great recommendations that I did not even know existed, and were able to secure bookings for us. We received excellent communication and punctuality from the drivers, and the company was flexible and patient with the changes of plans that come with traveling with a large group. If we ever went back to Tulum I would absolutely book with them for the entirety of the trip!
We had such an amazing experience. Very responsive and timely and great communication and people. Couldn’t recommend more.
I had the absolute best experience with Your Tulum Concierge. I am an overthinker and an over-planner and Paola was an absolute gem at securing all the reservations and transportation requests I had. She has an amazing attitude, was flexible with changes, and was incredibly thorough with her follow ups pre-trip and during our excursions, just checking in to make sure we were having the best experience. Toward the end of our time at a beach club in Tulum, Joost was readily available and willing to accommodate an early pick up with beverage service on our ride back to our resort. Overall, the experience was 10/10 and I will never plan a trip to Tulum without Your Concierge Tulum again. Thank you all so much!!

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book the Cenote Adventure Tour?
We recommend booking your tours at least one week in advance. However, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings.
How does this compare to the Snorkeling & Cenote Tour?
This tour is all cenotes: three different ones, including an underground cave system. The Snorkeling & Cenote Tour combines ocean reef snorkeling (sea turtles, tropical fish) with one private cenote. Pick this one if you want a full day of cenotes; pick the other if you want both ocean and freshwater.
Is the cave cenote scary or claustrophobic?
The passageways are wide enough to swim comfortably, and your guide leads the way with lamps. Most people find it awe-inspiring rather than scary. But if you have claustrophobia, let us know: we can discuss whether this tour is the right fit or recommend alternatives.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You should be comfortable in the water, but you don’t need to be a strong swimmer. Life jackets are provided and your guide is with you the entire time. The water is calm: no currents or waves.
What should I bring?
Swimwear (worn under your clothes), a towel, a change of dry clothes, water shoes (recommended for cave entry), biodegradable sunscreen, a waterproof camera if you have one, and some cash. All snorkeling gear and life jackets are provided.
Are the tours private or shared?
Both options are available. Private tours are fully customizable: adjust the itinerary, pace, and stops. Small-group tours follow a set route with other guests.
Am I picked up at my accommodation?
Yes. Every tour includes round-trip air-conditioned transportation from your accommodation in Tulum and back.
Do the guides speak English?
Yes, all guides are fluent in English and Spanish.
Are entry fees included?
Yes, all entry fees, park admissions, and required permits are included in the price.
What is included in the lunch?
Lunch at a local restaurant with fish, tacos and quesadillas. Let us know about dietary restrictions when you book.
How do I pay?
The full amount is paid with an online payment link before the tour. Prefer to pay in Mexican pesos? Just let us know.
What is the minimum age?
The minimum age is 6 years. The cave cenote involves swimming through enclosed passageways, which is not suitable for younger children.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the start of the tour. No questions asked.
