About this tour
Two very different cenotes and a bay with sea turtles, in a day of about 8 hours.
Both cenotes are in the same complex, so no time is lost travelling between them: Cenote Mariposa is semi-open, surrounded by vegetation and full of natural light; Cenote Chen-Ha is a cavern, more enclosed, with rock formations you can see from the water. Two opposite settings a few steps apart.
Afterwards we head to the Caribbean for snorkelling in an area where sea turtles live. Basic equipment is included and a guide goes with the group.

- This tour picks up only in the Cancún area: Costa Mujeres, the Hotel Zone and Puerto Morelos.
- You will swim in open water and in cenotes: it helps to be comfortable in the water.

Cenotes are fresh water connected to an underground system, and the bay where you swim is turtle habitat: regular sunscreens pollute the water and damage the reef, which is why biodegradable sunscreen is required.
