Private Two Cenotes Experience | Riviera Maya
A private journey into the hidden freshwater world of the Riviera Maya — one cavern cenote and one open cenote, chosen for contrast, calm, and natural beauty. No rushing, no crowds — just time to float, explore, and breathe.
The experience
Not a checklist. A slow water day designed to feel effortless.
Why cenotes matter
Cenotes are natural freshwater sinkholes formed over thousands of years — sacred to the ancient Maya and essential to the Riviera Maya’s ecosystem today. Swimming in them isn’t just refreshing — it’s stepping into geological time, where mineral water, limestone, and filtered jungle light create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world.
The cenotes we recommend
We usually choose one cavern cenote + one open cenote for contrast and pacing. And yes — we can take you to the cenote you prefer.
Popular cenotes near Playa del Carmen include:
- Taak Bi Ha
- Xunaan Ha
- Cenote Cristalino
- Cenote Azul
- Jardin del Eden
- Cenote Nicte Ha
We’ll recommend the best combination depending on crowd levels, weather, and your comfort level.
A closer look at the day
One of the cavern cenotes we often visit feels like stepping inside the earth itself — crystal water beneath limestone formations, soft lamps guiding the way, and reflections dancing across stone.
The cavern cenote is guided, so you can safely reach quiet corners and hidden chambers that most visitors never see. It’s slow, calm, and full of those “wow” moments.
Then we switch to an open cenote — sunlight, jungle reflections, and space to float freely. The balance between enclosed wonder and open relaxation is what makes this experience unforgettable.
