It honestly was not as big of a wow factor as I had hoped…read more... Our tour guide for the cave was subpar at best! He did a very bad job at sharing the ecological (and anthropological) history of the area He did a bad job answering questions... We were rushed through the cave ........ It is a beautiful cave though, especially the part where you walk over the water over the bridge ((but definitely should not be a top 10 National Geographic cave walk!!!..?!!! I have seen much cooler caves!...) The animal park is very fun. They take nice care of the animals and they actually have a great variety. My two-year-old had a great time with the animals. The cenote Was ***extremely busy !...... full of loud obnoxious tour groups who completely ruined the whole vibe There are catfish in the water that do not bite The cenote is small. The water is crystal clear! It is very fun to explore! Bring a mouth piece for the snorkel, as they do not provide those (the thing that enables you to breathe while you are under water) The water is FREEZING cold Even colder than they advertise There are no wet suits We went Thursday at 1 pm for the cave, and 3pm for the cenote, so I was not expecting it to be busy..... The cenote is 10 minutes away from the cave ( you have to drive there) Aktun Chen is about 20 minutes down a dirt road- once you exit the highway, there are signs saying you are heading the right way to the cave/cenote, but I kept doubting myself.. as the dirt road feels very remote Glad I went, but honestly would not go back again... PS- they say no sunscreen to protect the cenote, but allow bug repellent lololol -- do you know how much more toxic bug repellent is than sunscreen?? Hire better staff, and I will feel inclined to give a better review It felt like a cattle corral ..... did not feel genuinely cared for ((or that the staff genuinely cares for the environment!..!.!.!)

We signed up for the combo package which included ziplining, then a cave tour and then the cenote…read more The whole family unanimously agreed Aktun Chen was the highlight of our 1 week trip to Mexico. The ziplining was 10 ziplines, and the tour guides were fun and allow you to go upside down or 2 people at once on some of them. Make sure to bring money to tip the tour guides! The cave tour was the weakest section but I admit I did learn a bunch of interesting geological sorts of stuff. The cave actually gets a bit muggy and so the cenote was a great way to finish the day and cool off. They have you do a very brief "tour" in the cenote and then we were given about 30 min of free, unsupervised play time there. The water is clear, cool, clean and you adjust very quickly to the temperature. The lighting and colors were MAGICAL and the kids loved swimming amongst catfish. Water shoes were perfect for the whole day. You get a locker at each site. Towels and change of clothes are handy at the end of the day- don't forget those! And keep in mind that getting to the front entrance of Aktun Chen is not the same as getting to the actual reception area - it's ~ 3.5 km down a windy dirt road. Something to consider if you get motion sick easily, or something to consider if you rent a tiny car that might have difficulty on dirt roads.

This place is amazing! So many amazing memories and sweet moments we experienced here! At out resort we were approached by a lady with AmStar. She sold us on the excursion. We were able to zip line, atv and swim in cenotes for a slamming deal! It was almost to good to be true. There was a shuttle that picked us up from the resort, took us to the excursion and then it took us back as well. The excursion was about an hour away from the resort we stayed at. When we got there we were given Vania as our guide. She was so amazing I gave her all of the pesos we had after our adventure. She was awesome. The zip lining portion was fun and beautiful. The views from the towers was amazing. The swimming portion in the cenotes was crazy. I was scared at first because its inside of a cave and the water is mad cold. I'm so glad we did it because it was so worth it and we didn't want to get out when it was time. The ATV experience was LIT! We were on those things for at least an hour! There is a Mayan meal that they serve you at the end. Its really good and great for vegetarians! At the end of the excursion I fell that the deal we got was well worth it! I would advise you to take a change of clean cloths as you will want to get out of the wet gear. For the most part they have everything you will need! 5Stars GoNative and Vania!!

We looked into a few different ones and chose this one because it included what we were really wanting (ATV, zip line and swim in Cenote) and was about a 5 hour excursion. We didn't want to take a whole day away from the beach. The staff was excellent! They were all so friendly and made sure to make everyone feel safe. Our guide was quite comical as well. All 3 adventures were a first for me. I can't say I would ever care to ride an ATV again but I was glad I did it. Those things are hard to handle! I was the slow poke in the back of the line . The zip lining was so cool! On the 1st one I kept my eyes closed most of the way and was holding on for my life but I was able to relax a bit for the next 2. I would definitely try it again! The cenote was so refreshing after we had gotten hot and sweaty. They supplied lockers at the start and they do not allow you to take anything with you (cameras included). They have photographers taking photos throughout and you have the option to purchase the flash drive at the end. It was $50. That was more than I expected it to be but worth it because they captured all the thrilling moments. I would definitely recommend this park!

We only did the Multun-Ha because we had spent so much time at Coba. This Cenote is a traditional underground pool. The hole/entrance winds down about 100 steps to the bottom dock. You can jump in; it is plenty deep. There are ropes you can sit/hold on to. Take time to just sit in the water and enjoy how SOFT the water feels on your skin. It is super clear too. It is so clear that it appears you can touch but the rocks below are very far down. The next time we visit a Cenote, I will bring goggles and a snorkel so I can look under the water for long periods of time. The rocks below are a wonder to see just like the rocks above. Be sure to make this part of your Coba trip! MOST SINCERELY!!!!

Such a magical place! This was part of a tour package and we are fortunate that our tour guide…read morechose this cenote out of the three possibilities. It was very quiet and hardly anyone but us 12 in the group were there. You take a very narrow spiral stairway down about 75 feet. I was blown away with the energy there. Breathtaking. Beautiful clear blue waters and so refreshing after our bike through the jungle and hike up the ruins. There are 3 areas to get in and ropes in the water so you can hold onto. Life jackets are available. Some people were diving and flipping off a ramp area. Waters are about 70°. I saw a few small black catfish swimming. Words do not describe the beauty. You do need to shower before you get in. There is a shower, changing and restroom area when you arrive. One of the guests said they needed to shower when we got out but our guide said the same water you are showering with is the water from the cenote lol I do not recommend you to rent a car and come here. You need an off road vehicle to get here because the road is made of rock, has holes and is very bumpy.

One of the drivers @ the resort recommended this place to us. Not only that, he took us there,…read morewhich was roughly 30 minutes away & waited there til we were done. I have a huge fear of heights and I don't swim..so doing this...helped me conquer those fears a bit. Our tour guide was amazing. He was friendly and hilarious! We started off by zip lining, very fun. After that, we jumped into their first sink hole ( where I thought if I jumped and covered my face..I could preserve my makeup...wrong, lol ). After a few jumps into the first sinkhole, we went ATV riding. Suchhhh fun! The thrill on that ATV was amazing! We drove the ATV's to their 2nd large sinkhole. Where we were able to zip line into the water below, OR you could jump off their manmade "cliffs" (per-say). Lord have mercy on my soul, I was shaking like a baby, but after a few " screw it Vy, you got here this far, might as well " I managed. The last jump, however...landed wrong and ended hurting myself a bit. Regardless, those precious memories of conquering your own fears, is what I live for. After the 2nd sinkhole, we took the ATV a different route back to base, to which they had lunch ready for us. Note, you aren't allowed to take your phone with you. Or use sunscreen or bug repellent, they want to preserve the waters in the sinkholes. And pictures are done through them, you can purchase after the whole shenanigans.

Would not really recommend the chicken flautas (more like chicken fingers and cheese flautas). If you do this as a tour package, the tour operators MAY tell you no cellphones so they can sell you the photo package. We drive there ( no parking fee) so we were allowed phones. There are two Cenotes. DO the package w/two Cenotes. Even though the Cenote at the main place is nice, the one offsite is even better. 3 levels of platforms to jump from and a very LARGE Cenote to swim in. Even though we took out own pictures, we bought the picture package for $60 usd as the photographer took some really great pictures. Highly recommend this place.

The workers here are stationed right at the parking lot, so you can leave your belongings in your car without worry. If you do take your car key with you, be 100% sure that you don't lose it (like some other visitors during our trip did) because it will not be able to be recovered depending on where you drop it. Be ready for the water to be cold! The water is very clear so you'll want to bring swim goggles or a dive mask with you, if not a snorkel. The more adventurous can jump off the platforms along the spiral staircase into the water. Apparently life jackets are available if you're not a strong swimmer, but I didn't see these when we first arrived, some other visitors had them on as we were leaving. There are bats living in the stalactites , as well as small fish in the water. You will be required to take a shower before going into the cenote, so don't bother putting on any makeup, sunscreen, insect repellant, hair products, deodorant, etc. before you go in (seriously, please help to protect the ecosystem here!). I'm knocking a star off because there are multiple cenotes in this area and as you drive up to them, there's a station for temperature checks and to pay a per person fee (100 pesos/head if I remember right) before heading further up to the parking lots. Once we got to the parking lot though, we were asked to show a ticket before we were allowed into the cenote. However, we weren't given a ticket. We then had to argue with the worker in the parking lot that we had obviously already paid because otherwise we wouldn't have been allowed to continue up to the parking lot.

In addition, the sight inside in pretty cool as you look at these natural swimming holes. If you are really brave there are two diving platforms. The top one is 25 feet high, and the lower one about half-way. Sorry, but I'm not from Acapulco so I didn't indulge. There are many cenotes in the area, but our tour co Xcursion307 was able to give us private transportation for four, and we weren't on a schedule.

We were thinking about a day trip to Holbox, but we met a local Yucatan couple at a cenote one day that said Punta Allen would be a much better option. The main deterrent is the road to get there, and that's what keeps the place such a hidden gem. They told us we would be fine in our little tiny rental car, but every blog/article online said you needed a 4x4. I read horror stories about getting stuck in the sand and the idea of getting a flat on a tiny strip of land in the middle of the ocean with nobody around for miles definitely scared us. We proceeded to ask local people, and they pumped us up to go, so off the hell we went! It was definitely the craziest drive I've ever experienced. There are so many dips everywhere, if you're not a good driver or a nervous driver it might not be a good idea. It is also one of the most beautiful drives through the jungle with glimpses of the ocean every now and then and watch out for the iguanas crossing the road. And then finally you reach the little town of Punta Allen, with no cell phone service and electricity only at certain times of the day. Amazing. There are plenty of eco tour options in the area, they're all connected so you're going to get the same price and tour. We were having lunch at one of the restaurants on the beach, and one of the tour boats was right there, so we finished up our super fresh seafood lunch and got right on the boat. Our host was amazing and man can he drive a boat! He's a local that's dedicated to this and knows this part of the ocean like the back of his hand. He took us to see dolphins, then to see sea turtles, then to snorkel around the coral reefs, and finally to the "natural pool." This was such an amazing experience! This was one of the most magical experiences in Tulum, which is already magical. The hardest roads sometimes lead to the most beautiful places.
