Great Excursion to Rio Secreto - This excursion was amazing. Our tour guide, Diego, did an excellent job of taking care of our group. He was very knowledgeable, took time to answer questions, didn't rush us through the cave. At the Mayan Ruins, didn't hurry us through. We would highly recommend this excursion.

Awesome tour - The river was a one and a lifetime experience. The guide that we had, Tatiana was amazing. She stuck with us from the beginning to the end. She did the river made us feel safe and helped us understand a lot of the environment that created the underground rivers. We learned so much. At Tulum it was very hot, but we got the basics and were able to see what it was like back in the early ADs

Rio Secreto and Tulum - Our tour to Rio Secreto and Tulum was a memorable experience, largely thanks to the exceptional team who guided us! Everything was included in the cost – wetsuits/swim shoes/life jackets, buffet lunch, comfortable transportation, and admission to both activities. The only additional cost was a $20 environmental tax, which we were fully aware of beforehand. Our tour guide, Imelda, was phenomenal! Her knowledge of both Rio Secreto and the history of Tulum was extensive and captivating. A special shout-out goes to our fantastic photographers, Jair and Alex. They did a great job capturing pictures of me and my family. They quickly learned all our names and pointed out interesting things as we explored the cenote. The tour involves approximately 80% walking and wading through the shallow parts, with only about 20% requiring floating in a life jacket. This makes it a very comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone!

Great! Worth the time and investment - Our guide was great! It was an extraordinary discovery. We learned a lot! Only point bring snacks. The one on the bus is not very nutritious and could be a challenge for people with diabetes

Highly Recommend - What an absolutely brilliant place, its absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful time walking through the cave and wading trough the pools. We saw all the geographic features, bats, catfish, etc. Our guide Aaron was excellent and was incredibly knowledgeable about Rio Secreto as well as Tulum, which we visited in the afternoon, I would highly recommend this excursion.

Great family tour - Well organized and fun for all. The tour is run by Rio Secreto so very legit. Diego was an AMAZING tour guide and ensured we were well taken care of. Snacks and water on the shuttle were much appreciated. Both Tulum and Rio Secreto were great experiences for the whole family.

Lovely adventure - It's really worth it. It is a beautiful and super special experience. We went with young children (4 years the youngest) and grandparents, and although it is not an easy route the guide Pepe was very attentive and completed it without incident. Anyway, it takes an adult to help every young child and the grandparents have to be minimally strong (not a walk). The only catches were that the tour vendor didn’t warn us of the dangers and we found out when we arrived that one of the grandparents couldn’t come down because of a medical problem (so he paid and didn’t come down). And that they don’t let you carry a camera or mobile phone and you’re accompanied by a photographer, and then they intend to charge $30 for each photo or $200 for all (we don’t buy them clear)
