Overview

Explore an underground river system and 2 cenotes at the same location. All the photos listed here you will see in person. You will be swimming through different cave rooms under stalactites and hanging tree roots for approximately 1,5 hours with a life jacket which allows you to float therefore you do not have to be a great swimmer. As it is possible to get lost if you are navigating on your own, this location requires a guide. After the cave rooms have been explored, you will be able to spend time on your own without a guide to swim and take photos. Be prepared to have the most surreal and otherworldly experience of your lifetime.

Cenotes Sac Actun

We will be exploring a truly magical cenote that leads into a stunning underground river system. Unlike other cenotes that are jam-packed with tourists and large tour groups, we will be guiding you to a location that is less known and off the beaten path. With us as your guides we will show you a surreal scene of a sacred underground tree, like a picture straight out of a fairy tale, in real life. Then we will swim into an underground river filled with stalactites, stalagmites and rock formations that make you feel as if you are exploring another planet. Access to the underground river system is normally reserved for certified cave divers however we will be exploring an area that is not completely submerged under water making it possible to swim and wade without diving equipment or certification. Come with us and we will show you the best and most special underground river experience that the Yucatan Peninsula has to offer.
