We arrived late, they gave us a night tour and it was a wonderful experience. We visited 8 platforms while they explained and a Mayan ritual until we reached number 9, THE WATER! It's great because a large area of water only reaches your waist, perfect for seniors, children, or non-swimmers like me. Afterward, a dinner (we had it outdoors). Everything was delicious!! They have lockers, water shoes rental, very comfortable changing rooms, and many more things. And very importantly: THE PRICE IS VERY AFFORDABLE. Call, make a reservation, these people are extremely kind.

28/11/2019 Zazil Tunich is an incredible place that can only be understood by visiting it. The attention and kindness of its owner is unsurpassed.
01/01/1970hugovB1404OIThe most incredible experience -REAL-
We took the private-night tour and it was incredible we had the grotto just for 7 people, I couldn't believe such beauty, to finish we had a very nice dinner... read more intimate with Antonio who treated us as if we were brothers, we were impressed by his attention.
It is a place where honesty, fraternity and transparency can be seen without presumption.
The price is extremely affordable for an experience that I will remember for a long time.
My congratulations to Armando, Tony, Raúl and those I did not get to meet for making a natural place a well-managed natural conservation site for your visit.
Thanks for everything.
26/04/2022Manuel, who was our guide and apparently that of almost all the visitors, is spectacular, a great person and without a doubt he brings you the necessary feelings to enjoy the... read more Cenote tour, one of the most beautiful I have seen, if not the best, the experience is total when you go to dinner at the end, the seasoning and atmosphere are charming. They have cabins, I hope to visit them soon. Congratulations.

02/10/2019This place is truly unique, I have visited several cenotes and this has definitely been the best so far (I visited some near Coba, Il Kil, some in Yucatan,... read more open and closed) To begin with we were a group of 8 people, it was just us for the 3pm reservation, the cenote was exclusively ours, from the moment you enter the place that is managed by a family, you feel a relaxed atmosphere, we paid $400 per person but it included the food which was delicious and totally private, they prepared a beautiful table for us, we did not have a ritual, they told us that it was because of the pandemic, we missed that, the only thing I would recommend to the girl who gave us the explanation is to speak more slowly, I thought I was the only one who didn't understand anything but talking to my family they still couldn't decipher what she was saying, I don't know if she always speaks like that or was in a hurry, hehe but we still really appreciate the attention, everything was excellent, we swam deliciously in a completely private cenote, I know that on these dates they only receive a maximum of 20 people, so go ahead, it's so worth it !!

We arrived in Valladolid in the morning and my wife and I began to think about which cenotes we would visit since it was the first time we were in this beautiful place.... read more through the Tripadvisor application and immediately we were caught immediately I contacted and the owner of the place answered us we reserved at 1 pm he told us that we would be two couples who would be there but what would be our surprise that we were alone a place full of a lot of energy very beautiful you can not miss the attention of the owner and his wife and daughter excellent there is no doubt that it is a magical place thank you for everything
07/05/2022 "My family and I are natives of this beautiful land, proudly Mayan, and finding a place completely different from what we are used to was something magical and amazing. The concept,... read more make it something perfect
We had the opportunity to visit it on a rainy day after a storm that raised the water level (making it even more mystical).
They explain the 9 levels of Xibalba, tell us about the Popol Vuh, the Aluxes, the Noria, and other stories.
Organizing for a Tour? Immediate
Do you accept families? Yes (we went with 2-year-old babies)
Relevant things? Kindness, explanation, magical place, exceptional regional food and Mayan ritual (which I later talked to my parents about, it is 100% true that permission was requested to enter the Cenote)
I could spend a lot of time describing our visit but it is something that nobody should miss and we will return (it is already planned). Thank you, really thank you 😁

16/11/2020What an incredible experience at this cenote. We were lucky to have it all to ourselves with Manuel, the guide who not only talks about history but also about culture and mythology.... read more They prepared a small ritual for us, and we were able to swim alone in the cenote.
The place is amazing and has the largest stalactite in Mexico! Congratulations!

The cenote is magnificent, full of stalactites and stalagmites, which makes it a unique experience for adults and children. The water is crystal clear and has lighting.... read more Blue color, it becomes an incredible experience, saying that it is the best covered cenote in the area falls short, it is something that has to be seen personally to be able to admire its greatness, it is a perfect family plan, with friends or as a couple, in the same way the dinner was spectacular, all the delicious options, the drink and the dessert, the staff was super attentive and very helpful, in our case the cenote was just for us, do not hesitate to book the plan, it is wonderful
13/05/2022 A wonderful experience, the best cenote I have ever visited, the explanation and experience are unique, different and very emotional, the ritual makes you feel very relaxed.
The owners are magical people and... read more Very friendly. You have to visit this place!!July to
