Spend five private hours in a crystal-clear cenote accessed from the Puerto Aventuras marina — gourmet food, a premium open bar and private areas combine comfort with the raw geology and history of the Yucatán.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the marina dock into a pocket of still water ringed by limestone and mangrove, the light cutting through a vertical shaft and painting the cenote floor in bright, drinkable blues. For five hours this private sinkhole becomes yours and your guests' — a quiet counterpoint to the Riviera Maya’s beaches where the water feels surprisingly alive and low voices carry.

History
Cenotes in the Yucatán are karst sinkholes long regarded as sacred water sources by the Maya; many were sites for offerings and travel routes connected to subterranean rivers.
Conservation
Protective etiquette matters: use biodegradable products, avoid soaps or lotions in the water, and respect maximum group sizes to limit sediment disturbance and preserve water clarity.

Use biodegradable sunscreen
Oils and regular sunscreens harm cenote water—choose reef- and cenote-safe SPF and apply on land.
Bring water shoes
Limestone edges and submerged steps are slippery; closed-toe water shoes improve safety and mobility.

Book early-morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid passing boats and capture the best light.
