Itinerary
150 min
Discover 5 incredible cenotes, all located inside the same private jungle property, just a few minutes away from Playa del Carmen.
We first explore the mysterious and legendary Jaguar Cave and swim through four stunning crystal-clear cenotes, partially covered by ancient rock formations and jungle vegetation, naturally protected from the strongest sun and surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the forest.
This is not a crowded tourist attraction; it’s a hidden natural sanctuary designed for guests who value privacy, tranquility, and genuine connection with nature.
All cenotes are within walking distance of each other, allowing the experience to flow naturally through the jungle without stress, long transfers, or crowds. Our tours operate only in small groups, creating a calm, intimate atmosphere impossible to find in mass tourism excursions.
Life jackets and goggles are fully included.
The tour runs beautifully in all weather conditions and operates year-round.
Admission included60 min
To complete the experience, we take our guests to Lara y Luca international restaurant, where you can finally relax in a comfortable air-conditioned environment after the jungle adventure. This is not a simple snack stop or basic local stand: it’s a complete dining experience, fully included in the tour.
Guests enjoy a freshly prepared meal with excellent food quality and generous portions, together with a drink of choice: bottled water, soft drinks, a fresh fruit water of the day, or an ice-cold beer.
*Vegetarian options are always available, as well as a dedicated kids menu for younger travelers, making the experience enjoyable for everyone.
Many guests mention the restaurant experience in their reviews because they understand how important a truly good meal is after an active and unforgettable day exploring cenotes. Great food, refreshing drinks, air conditioning, and a relaxed atmosphere become the perfect final touch to end the excursion in the best possible way.

Tranquil and surreal
What an incredible experience. The cenotes Fabio took us to had a much different feel than visiting public ones like Cenote Azul. It was a beautiful and tranquil experience with sights and memories that will last a lifetime. Fabio was very friendly and did a great job accommodating our group (which spoke 3 different languages). He gave us so much rich history about the land and each cenote, which was very special. 100% recommend this tour.
P.S. Definitely bring snacks and buy the eco-friendly bug spray
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We are truly happy to hear that the experience gave you a completely different perspective on the cenotes compared with the more popular public ones.
The tranquility and sense of connection with nature are such an important part of our experience, and we love knowing that you left with memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
We are also especially glad that Fabio was able to make your experience enjoyable despite having a group speaking three different languages! Sharing the history, stories, and natural importance of each cenote is one of the things our guides enjoy most.
And thank you for the practical advice about bringing snacks and eco-friendly insect repellent 😄 It is definitely useful advice for anyone planning to spend a wonderful day surrounded by the jungle.
Thank you again for recommending us 100%. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we wish you many more unforgettable adventures!

Best Cenote Tour in the Yucatán!
Wow!!! If you’re sifting through cenote experiences, just pick this one. The five cenotes are privately owned. My daughter, Fabio and myself were the only people there. This is not like the large group tours where you are ushered through with hundreds of others. This is a private experience where you can take your time to enjoy all the cenotes have to offer.
Fabio is knowledgeable, very accommodating and just a pleasant person to be around. I especially liked that he picked us up at Lara and Luca — we were able to walk from our hotel. No taxis or expensive drivers to book.
After the cenotes we had lunch back at Lara and Luca — the best meal we’ve had so far in PDC. This tour was well worth the price and we had a lovely time. We would book with Fabio again for this tour or another in a heartbeat.
Operator response
Thank you, Cheryl, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review!
It means so much to know that you and your daughter enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. 💚
One of the things we value most about our Five Cenotes Experience is exactly what you described: being able to slow down, explore without crowds, and truly enjoy the natural beauty of each cenote at your own pace. Knowing that the three of you had these beautiful places almost entirely to yourselves makes us especially happy.
We also really appreciate your kind words about Fabio. His knowledge, patience, and genuine enjoyment of sharing these places with our guests are a very important part of the experience.
And we are delighted that the location at Lara & Luca made things so convenient for you, allowing you to simply walk from your hotel. We love being able to make the day easy from the very beginning, and finishing with a delicious lunch there was clearly the perfect way to end it! 😊
Thank you again for your trust and for saying you would choose Fabio and Soul Experiences México again “in a heartbeat.” That is an incredible compliment for our entire team.
We wish you and your daughter many more wonderful adventures, and we will be very happy to welcome you back to the Riviera Maya whenever you return! 🇲🇽

FABIO IS THE MAN!!!
Fabio, was great and super kind. Showed us 5 beautiful cenotes in a private area inside the Jungle. Such a beautiful experience. It felt like it was a VIP tour as we were the only ones in the excursion and that was a Plus!! Would do this tour again. Highly recommend it.

Hidden Cenotes: Beyond the Tourist Trail
We had an incredible tour with our guide, Fabio. He was extremely knowledgeable, respectful of the cenotes, and clearly passionate about sharing them in the right way.
The water was unbelievably crystal clear—unlike anything I’ve ever seen—and the jungle paths were easy to walk and absolutely beautiful.
The cenotes we visited were not the typical tourist spots—they were in a special park, and we had them completely to ourselves, which made the experience even more unique.
To top it off, lunch at the end was excellent. Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience that I would highly recommend.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this fantastic review and for giving us a 10 out of 10!
We are especially happy to know that the experience felt different from the usual cenote excursions. Being able to discover these natural wonders in a peaceful setting, surrounded by jungle and away from the crowds, is exactly the kind of experience we hope our guests will remember long after their trip.
Your words about Fabio are greatly appreciated. His respect for these fragile ecosystems and his passion for sharing their history and natural beauty are an essential part of what makes the experience so special.
And we are delighted that lunch was the perfect finishing touch to your day! 😊
Thank you again for your trust, your recommendation, and for taking the time to share your experience. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another adventure in the Riviera Maya! 🇲🇽

Incredible experience in nature
An absolutely recommended experience, all cenotes are in a private area in the jungle, very different from other experiences much more commercial, on the contrary in this, the contact with nature is incredible, walking through the jungle, swimming in each cenote, to each one more special. And what to say about Fabio, he is a guide involved who loves nature, his work, that shows and also makes a difference

Grazie di cuore per la splendida recensione! ❤️
Siamo davvero felici di sapere quanto speciale sia stata questa esperienza per il vostro gruppo.
Una delle cose a cui teniamo di più è poter condividere questi cenote nascosti lontano dalla folla, permettendo ai nostri ospiti di vivere un contatto autentico e tranquillo con la natura ✨
Ci fa molto piacere sapere che abbiate apprezzato tutti e 5 i cenote, così come le spiegazioni sulla natura e sulla cultura locale durante il tour.
Fabio sarà davvero felice di leggere le vostre parole riguardo alla sua attenzione, comunicazione e dedizione durante tutta l’esperienza 🌿
Siamo anche contentissimi che vi sia piaciuto il pranzo finale; crediamo che una grande avventura meriti anche una grande conclusione!
Grazie ancora per la vostra raccomandazione e auguriamo potervi accogliere nuovamente, per un’altra esperienza indimenticabile nella Riviera Maya, con Soul Experiences Mexico 🙏

Family of four with kids 8 and 10
Very well done excursion. One of my kids loved it, the other thought it was a bit cold in the water. If you have a wetsuit I would bring it if you have the tendency to get cold. We bought water shoes beforehand but I would have brought from home if I had thought ahead I would have brought my Chaco sandals.
Fabio was great and the tour was very chill-only our group which was very special. The food at the restaurant was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! ❤️
We’re very happy to hear that your family enjoyed the experience and that having the tour privately for your group made it feel even more special ✨
Cenote waters can definitely feel refreshing, especially for guests who are more sensitive to colder temperatures, so your suggestion about bringing a wetsuit is truly helpful for future travelers.
Water shoes or comfortable sandals are also always a great idea for enjoying the jungle paths and cenote areas comfortably 🌿
Fabio will be very happy to know you appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and attention throughout the day, and we’re especially glad you enjoyed the restaurant meal as well; we believe great food is the perfect ending after an adventure in nature 🍴
Thank you again for your recommendation, and we want to welcome your family back soon, for another unforgettable experience in the Riviera Maya, with Soul Experiences Mexico 🙏
