A unique cave and snorkeling experience. - The tour through the cave was a very exciting experience, ducking under a tight gap while swimming. Our tour guide was very funny though and made it a very relaxed adventure.
Snorkeling with the tropical fish was a very unique experience as well, seeing where the cenote water mixed with the ocean in an unusual habitat.

Nice! - Good. Too bad that your own camera is not allowed to go to the cenote, and that the photos taken there are only for sale per set (70 dollars).
The tour guide was absolutely amazing! Super clear and not long of fabric. Very pleasant man.
Furthermore, I do recommend to bring food. Along the way you get cookie, banana and water.

Great Experience - It was a great trip! Our guide, Diana was very knowledgeable and funny! They also had snacks for us in the van between the cento and the snorkeling. Swimming makes you hungry so those were nice to have. I would recommend bringing a water tight case for your phone so you can take pictures!
