Amazing getaway
Juan and Carlos were the best hosts I’ve ever had. This was my friends and I favorite excursion while in Tulum. He stayed with me and my friend while we were in the Cenotes due to a lack of confidence with swimming in deep water. Also, he gave us a nice tour throughout the Cenotes and just the location. We loved him a lot! If you can, book with Juan aka JJ and Carlos for a memorable and great experience!

Arturo was absolutely the best tour guide, so knowledgeable about our Cenote tour. He was very patient with our group and even helped take group photos of us. We ended the day with a great lunch and awesome stories. If we visit again, we will request Arturo! This was such a beautiful tour!

Dos Ojos Cenote Cavern Dive- The Barbie Line and The Bat Cave
I was torn about which dives to do in the area and this one did not dissapoint. The folks at Flying Fish Tulum were awesome. Diving with Budgie was a blast. They guy has over 1100 cave dives, knew everyone at every diving spot, and made it an incredibly fun time.
Great people but a little brief for the price.

Dos Ojos Cenote Private Tour with Mayan lunch
Our Guide Dulce and our driver both did an excellent job. Dulce gave us some knowledge about the geology and Maya history of the Cenotes. She also answered our questions about some local wildlife. The Cenote experience was so memorable, like snorkeling into another planet. We were given wetsuits to stay warm and flashlights to see the stalactites and stalagmites. Dulce took us through a narrow segment into the Bat Cave. I highly recommend doing this section as you can see may little fruit bats and a very beautiful cave with a small opening to the sky where a shaft of light beams down. On the negative side, the tour was quite short for the price. We also felt obligated to eat at the Maya restaurant directly at the Cenote site, but 11:00 was a bit early for lunch. The food there was OK, not amazing. However it’s a way to support the Maya community on the site who are the stewards of the surrounding land.
Incredible!

2 different divings in Dos Ojos cenote for certified divers in Tulum
Don't miss it! Small dive company, personalized attention, and incredible views and experience! Really special to dive in a Cenote and especially then pop up in a "bat cave" after swimming underground tunnels with flashlights. All gear provided, showers at Cenote site were a plus. It was a bit tiring to carry all gear down steps from the parking area twice, but if you're in okay shape, should be fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
Well worth the trip

Fantastic trip to the Dos Ojos cenote. Juan was a phenomenal guide - not only for the cenote dive but also providing history and perspective on the area. The second cenote at Dos Ojos is incredible - the early start was worth it as we had the Bat Cave to ourselves. Strongly recommend this company and Juan!
Amazing day trip!

Dos Ojos Cenote Private Tour with Mayan lunch
Amazing morning with Arturo! Prompt pick up from our Airbnb and comfortable ride to the cenotes which were 45 mins away from Tulum. Arturo took us through 3 different areas and was very knowledgeable of the rock formations and history of the cenotes. The cenote was not crowded at all which made for a great private experience. My favorite part was the bat cave! Lunch was included which was also very delicious and authentic. I definitely recommend this tour!
A must do!

Amazing trip, couldn't recommend more. Arturo was really knowledgeable about the cenotes and took us to all the corners, including the bat cave which was the best bit and can't be accessed without a guide. The whole process was smooth from pick up to drop off at our hotel and the lunch at the end was also delicious.
Fantastic experience!

Dos Ojos Cenote Private Tour with Mayan lunch
Daniele and Rodrigo were fantastic! Daniele was incredibly knowledgable and had a great personality. He made sure we were safe, had a good time, and enjoyed our lunch as well. Making our way through the 2nd Eye of the cenote was my favorite part. Everything from the bat cave to how clear the water was to a nice cold Model with lunch made this experience all the more wonderful. I would do it all over again!
Exclusive, adventurous, and highly recommendable!

Dos Ojos Cenote Private Tour with Mayan lunch
First and foremost, Claire, our tour guide, was a gem! She spoke great English and was very inviting. Secondly, go early! We left at 8am and missed the crown altogether! We were the only ones in both eyes (ojos!¡) and the bat cave. Without her a guide, we wouldn’t have been allowed in many unique areas within the adventure! She was very helpful getting pictures taken for us as well. (I tried to upload our air jump picture into the clear blue water but it wouldn’t let me). The lunch after the swimming was really good and had some unique and local Mayan artisan souvenirs as well. PAY THE EXTRA FOR THIS PRIVATE TOUR- YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! We are two female travelers and felt very comfortable at all times!! * Don’t forget to tip your guides* Viva la Mexico! Cheers 🍻 - two besties enjoying life and culture!

When to Get There

The best months to visit the region are April, May, and November, which also means you encounter the biggest crowds during those times. Since the waters of the cenote remain around 77°F year-round, you can visit anytime and still enjoy a pleasant experience. If you plan to scuba dive and snorkel elsewhere, April and November offer the best visibility.
