What’s Included and What’s Not
For $130 per person, the cost seems fair considering the transportation, entrance fees, and meals included.

Entrance fees at the three cenotes—Multum Ha, Zemway, Zacil-Ha—as well as the lagoon, are covered. However, note that lifejackets are not included at the cenotes, and drinks aren’t part of the meal service, so bring your own water or snacks if needed.
Itinerary Breakdown: What Makes Each Stop Unique

Stop 1: Cenote Zacil-Ha and the Tulum Letters
Your first stop is at the famous Tulum Letters, an Instagram-worthy spot where you’ll have around 20 minutes to snap photos and soak in the lively vibe. This stop is more about capturing the moment than swimming, but it’s a perfect chance to get a quick dose of Tulum’s colorful scenery before heading into the water.
Stop 2: Multum Ha Cenote
Next, you’ll visit Multum Ha, a stunning underground cenote formed over thousands of years. The water here is crystal clear, offering excellent conditions for snorkeling or simply floating in the tranquil waters. The limestone formations surrounding the cenote create an otherworldly atmosphere, perfect for those who appreciate dramatic natural settings. You might find the highlight here is the chance to swim in the cool, shimmering waters while the jungle and limestone walls provide an immersive backdrop.
Stop 3: Cenote Zemway
This cenote is less known but equally captivating. Cenote Zemway offers a peaceful retreat into lush surroundings, with turquoise waters ideal for swimming and relaxing. It’s more of a hidden gem, giving visitors a chance to enjoy nature away from the busier tourist spots. The natural beauty and the surrounding jungle make it an ideal spot for photos or just unwinding in tranquil waters.
Stop 4: Laguna Kaan Luum
The final stop is at Laguna Kaan Luum, a truly spectacular lagoon known for its vibrant blue waters and the deep cenote at its center, plunging about 80 meters. This makes it one of the deepest in the region. The lagoon’s vivid colors and the chance to paddle or swim around are the highlights here. It’s a fitting ending—a place to relax, take photos, and appreciate the raw beauty of the Riviera Maya. The lagoon’s depth and unique setting offer one of the most stunning views of the day.
