Chichen Itza, Cenote, and Valladolid Tour

brittanybR1969FD, Sep 2026

Amazing experience. Its a must

This was one of the best tours I've been on. They pick you up from your hotel and drop you off at your hotel. The drive there, the guide kept us entertained with information/history of the Mayan culture and the cenotes. We first went to a small village, then went to chichen itza. There was an English guide and a Spanish guide. They took us around for about 30 to 40 minutes before we could explore the entire place. It was extremely hot so bring sunscreen, a fan, or small umbrella. You can rent an umbrella there if you want to. After chichen itza, we went to it kill cenote where there was a huge buffet included in your ticket and it was delicious. Pay for your skip the line tickets, lockers, and life jackets ahead of time. The cenote is right there and its beautiful 😍. After all of that the small historic town of vallaloid we went tequila taste testing and bought some tequila and ice cream. I would highly suggest this tour!!!! 10000/10

Nice experience....

Nice experience. Wonderful staff. Small boat, nothing fancy. Took us to 4 locations and saw lots of fish and a couple turtles. Lots of swimming, be prepared it’s quite the workout. Beautiful waters.

Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting

L2171JFrhondas, Sep 2026

LONG day but worth it

We were staying in Puerto Morales and we were picked up at 6:30 am. We were dropped back at our resort at 8:30 pm. It was a very long day! That being said, although extremely hot, chichen itza was amazing. Cesar was an excellent guide. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. Swimming in the cenote was so refreshing. Lunch was tasty. Tequila tasting was fun and educational.

Magical Cenote and Paradise Lagoon Snorkeling Adventure

cassandrarA8674DU, Sep 2026

Great!

We did the cenote and lagoon tour on our honeymoon. It was around $180.00 for two of us. They do try to get you with a $40 per person photo fee. You can take photos at the lagoon but not the cenote. It was very enjoyable. Pickup was right on time and explained very thoroughly in the email. It was a smooth process. The van was comfortable and spacious. Fernando was sweet and a great driver. We picked up other passengers along the way. There was around 14 of us I believe. We ended up getting to Yal Ku. JJ was a wonderful tour guide explaining natural history and explaining the process of how to snorkel. He helped us spot a sting ray, eel, and many other creatures. We then went to the cenote, which was gorgeous. JJ made sure to explain everything and added humor throughout. It was overall a great experience. Recommend.

Cancun Mayan Pass: ATV, Cenote, Zipline, Transportation & Horses

RAJ_S, Sep 2026

Must try - highly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had an absolutely amazing experience at Mayan Jungle Rush! From start to finish, we had such a great time. The ATV ride was one of the highlights—it was so much fun riding through the jungle. The zip lines were exciting, the cenote was beautiful and refreshing, and the horseback riding was a wonderful addition to the experience.The staff and guides were friendly, energetic, and attentive. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout all the activities. Everything was well organized, and the experience offered a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and fun.They also have a shop where you can purchase souvenirs and other items. The prices were a little on the expensive side, but honestly, that’s understandable considering you’re in the middle of the jungle. It’s also convenient to have everything available there, especially if you need something at the last minute.**A few tips for anyone going:** Bring bug spray, wear shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet, and bring regular sunglasses. You’ll definitely be spending time in the jungle, so come prepared!Overall, we had an unforgettable day and would definitely recommend Mayan Jungle Rush to anyone visiting the Cancun or Puerto Morelos area. 🌴🏍️🐎💦
