Tomas K. - Czech Republic - The wonderful world of turtles that floated around you at your touch, which was of course forbidden. The tour of the cenote, which had a little more water after the rain, so swimming through the circuit of the cave was a nice added adrenaline rush and is not for the claustrophobic. For me, it is definitely worth the experience.

Absolutely incredible, a must do trip! - Absolutely incredible! This trip is a must do for sure! The turtles, fish and stingray were brilliant to see, a real treat, the cenote was just amazing, totally breathtaking. Our guide Jorge was fantastic, he told us all about the history of the cenote before we got there, was super helpful and calming for the little ones and big ones alike. I cannot recommend this trip or Jorge enough, just amazing.

Brilliant day out - Loved the caves was very cool and refreshing, seen turtles stingray and various fish when snorkelling well worth the money. Our guide for the day Nancy Torrres and the driver were excellent.

Exciting Tour for Families - We had a wonderful experience with this tour. We saw a lot of sea turtles. My 9 year old had some trouble snorkeling, but one of guides was able to bring a life ring to support him. The cenote tour was very interesting, and we examined a chain of cave areas before coming to a larger area to swim. Our guide was very friendly and wonderful with my son. The cenote water was cold, but it was very refreshing. My husband accidentally left his sunglasses in the tour van, and the owner drove them to our hotel. Overall, it was a great experience.

Amazing experience with 2 amazing tour guides. - Absolutely amazing experience. Our tour guide Pablo and Mexican Tom Cruise picked us up at our hotel and they were both so amazing. I had never done snorkelling before and I was quite nervous but Pablo made me feel really comfortable and safe. The whole trip was just amazing and we made so many memories and I couldn’t thank these 2 enough. If I could give 10 stars I would.

First Time - Alfonso and Benjamin picked us up from our hotel which was a huge plus. We then went to pay the entrance fees to the sea turtle park. We then went to the sea turtle park. We had to rinse off bug repellent because it gives the turtles cancer and tumors. After putting on life jackets, we swam out and saw beautiful sea turtles. We then came back, rinsed off and were treated to potatoe taquitos and some tea. Next we went to Nohoch cenote where after rinsing off again and given a life jacket, we swam in the cenote for about 35 minutes. We stopped and stood on a rock a few times for Alfonso to share some facts and history with us about the cenote. He had a flashlight and was very knowledgeable about the surroundings. Overall, we had a great time! I highly recommend this excursion!
