Stunning and Surreal
We went early with our guide Abraham and ended up having all 4 cenotes to ourselves. Each cenote was different and so beautiful. He took great pix for us while we swam. The lunch at the restaurant was delicious. Izamal was unique, and a chance to climb up the ruins and explore. The van was very nice and comfortable.

Enjoyable day at the cenotes & Izamal.
Abraham was our guide for the day. His English was great & enjoyed teaching us some Spanish. He was very knowledgeable about the Mayan history & the activities around Mérida. We arrived at the Cenotes early & actually got to enjoy them to ourselves for a while. The lunch was really good & very abundant! Our visit to Izamal was nice although very hot by early afternoon. Drive home was comfortable! Very enjoyable day.

Great day out!
We had a great trip with our guide, who was informative and made the day relaxed and enjoyable. Santa Barbara cenotes were really cool and we had a good amount of time to spend at each one. The trip to Izamal was an interesting and pretty town, and a great end to the day.

Highlight of Our Trip to Merida
The cenotes have been on my bucket list for a while now and when presented with a long weekend we decided to make it happen. We were a group of 8 consisting of family and friends of ages 15-55. If I’m being honest I have never seen so much happiness on the faces of a travel group than on this journey. Everyone was excited and in awe at each of the 4 cenotes. They were all magical.
I did quite a bit of research in advance and really wanted to hit the very best ones we could but found it impossible to know which ones would really be the best by looking at a computer screen. I have to say choosing to visit the 4 Santa Barbara cenotes was the beat decision I could have made. Each are very different but very close in proximity to each other which makes it easy to have an incredible and diverse experience in a short time.
Julian our tour guide was also fantastic. He was friendly, patient and informative. In short, do not hesitate to book this excursion. You won’t regret it.
