Description

Sacred Waters, Hidden Legends, and Endless Adventure

Cenotes have long inspired ancient stories and legends, serving as sources of healing, shelter, and grounding for centuries. These magical formations, carved over millions of years, are now yours to discover in all their natural splendor.

This private tour gives you full control of your time, ensuring an exclusive experience with minimal crowds and dedicated guides just for you. Perfect for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike, this is The Cenote Trifecta Expedition, an unforgettable journey into three distinct cenotes, each offering its own unique charm.

Our first stop takes you underground into a mystical world of semi-flooded caves. With dramatic, otherworldly rock formations, these natural gothic chambers are a testament to thousands of years of growth. Here, you’ll feel the sacred energy of the Mayan rituals that once took place in these awe-inspiring caverns.

Next, we snorkel in the turquoise waters of a second cenote, where you’ll marvel at the intricate rock formations beneath the surface. This cenote offers a completely different experience—tranquil yet full of underwater wonders.

Afterward, we pause for a delicious lunch—a taco feast! Whether you prefer meat or vegan options, this traditional culinary treat is the perfect fuel for the final part of your adventure.

Finally, we visit an open-sky cenote. Dive in, swim, or even base jump into this natural freshwater pool surrounded by lush greenery. Not too deep, but endlessly fun, it’s the ultimate way to close this day of discovery and joy.

Key Highlights:

• Three unique cenotes: underground caves, snorkeling, and open-sky swimming.
• Private experience with dedicated guides and no crowds.
• Traditional taco lunch with meat or vegan options.

Swimming with the whale sharks was worth every penny! No sunscreen so wear a swim shirt or rent a wetsuit. Our Captain Solomon was fabulous and our guide Nano was fun, energetic and did everything he could to make this a magical experience for everyone on board. We were the first pick up and last drop off which meant for a super long day but highly recommend!!

We took the whale shark watching tour; we had a fantastic day with tons of sharks. Truly a dream. I would recommend it a thousand times over.

This was an amazing excursion. The Captain knew right where to drop you in so you can swim along the whale shark. If you hesitate, you ok be behind. The captain’s mate did a wonderful job of orienting you once you jumped in the water and he took amazing photos and video. I definitely recommend Gluup for this trip.
