The excursion was great. The guide, Mario Rodríguez, was very prepared, fun, and attentive. It made the excursion even better. The cenote is spectacular, it's a shame that you can't take photos and the price of the ones they take is abusive.

A fabulous day out. We all had a lot of fun and Gato was an excellent guide. He was very entertaining, informative and ensured everyone had a great time and felt confident in the activities. The driver also worked hard and ensured we all got around safely and smoothly. We really enjoyed the variety of activities. Tulum was hot and being able to cool down in the beautiful cenote and sea afterwards was perfect. Late lunch on the beach was a relaxing end to the day. We used Cancun Adventures for several excursions during our holiday and found it a great way to explore and learn more about beautiful Mexico. All the guides were outstanding. Can highly recommend. Thank you.
