The first breath of the day in Tulum tastes like salt and stone. You meet at a compact office in town, boots still dusty from the road, and fold into a small van with a guide whose smile carries the patience of someone who has seen the same light cut through the jungle hundreds of times. The ride is short—palm-fringed roads yaw left and right—and then the canopy opens onto water so clear it looks as if someone has polished a pool out of the earth itself.

Adventure Tips
Arrive hydrated and fed
Bring a light snack and drink water before the tour—the operator provides bottled water but you’ll want energy for swimming and jumping.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before arrival to protect submerged ecosystems and avoid skin irritation when swimming.
Wear water shoes
Corners of cenotes can be rocky or slippery; sturdy water shoes protect feet and improve traction on ladders and platforms.
Practice basic snorkel skills
If you’re new to snorkel gear, test breathing techniques beforehand to reduce panic in deeper sections.
