1.4 Private Cenotes, Zip-Lines, Canoes & Mayan Village with Delicious Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 757 reviews · 4 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $275Our pick

Private Tankah cenotes, zip-lines, canoe time, and a Mayan village lunch with hotel pickup and all activities included for $275.

“This is a beautiful tour and the cenotes and zip lines were great; our tour guide was wonderful. However, and no one is at fault for this, but the mosquitoes were unbearable- granted, it was following a rain and you can’t use bug repellent due to the cenotes, but we were getting swarmed with mosquitoes, which really tainted our experience. Again, no fault to anyone, but beware if you’re going when imthe forecast is a bit rainy and overcast. The lunch was just ok - grilled chicken, pork and rice, homemade tortillas and guacamole. All very good, but not consistent with the price tag of the trip.”
