Enrique was our guide, and Carlos was our driver, and we had the best time on our tour! Swimming in the private cenote was a unique experience and so fun, and we got to see so many sea turtles! Not being able to take pictures at the cenote was a bit of a bummer but still was completely understandable. We brought a waterproof case and got a bunch of videos of the turtles! Enrique was great and made sure we had a lovely time.
There are a lot of “rules” that are not disclosed when booking the trip. Like no cameras or cellphones ( they want you to purchase pics from them . I paid 343 dollars for the trip and did not want to spend 600 on pics of me in a cave that I could’ve taken myself. Also couldn’t wear sunscreen. The Mayans stalked us to buy things which was a turn off and our driver was going 100 miles per hour on the Mexican freeway . Turtles was the best part
The entire experience was outstanding! Both Carlos and and JJ were friendly, very knowledgable and fun. They kept the entire experience engaging and entertaining. We definitely look forward to doing it again in the future.

The experience was so much fun. The beach had a ton of seaweed but we couldn’t do much about that, thankfully we were still able to see the sea turtles. Cenote was probably the best part of the entire trip.
JJ and Irvin took care of us and the day was amazing, made sure we saw everything and answered all the questions we had.
