Río Secreto

A must see. This was an awesome tour, go into a cave with an underground river. Travel through the water and see the amazing cave. The tour provides wet suit and water shoes along with a guide. You can't bring a camera and they provide a fotographer. The pictures were a bit expensive to purchase, so we passed, but could be we were a large group.

An amazing experience! The caves are absolutely incredible and make you feel like you are in a different world. The food is excellent too, I would even say better than most of the resort food. Our guide, Pepe, was very knowledgeable, provided an interesting cave guide and shared other fascinating facts such as how the cave system was discovered. I feel awful for not tipping, as i miscalculated and totally ran out of cash towards the end of my trip. Highly recommend this trip.

By far this was the best excursion we had on entire Yucatan peninsula and believe me we had a lot of them during our 2 weeks vacation. To save some money, we paid our tickets online prior our trip to Mexico, which I strongly suggest as they're some 10-20% cheaper that way. We had a rented car there, so went there directly (it's a 10 min drive from PDC) 30 min before the booked time. Tickets are time slotted, as you can enter only within a group with a guide. Our group was only 6 with a terrific guide (sorry I forgot her name). Before entering you must take a shower and you're provided with a wet suite and walking shoes along with safety vest, as well a hard hat with a lamp. Don't worry about your belongings, as you leave them in provided lockers. The entire tour takes around hour and a half and is so breathtaking and unique. It consists of walking and swimming through the underground river cave system. Believe me, I was in dozens of caves worldwide, but I've never explored any of them in such a way - that's why it left such an amazing impression on me. After the tour you get a generous buffet lunch (soft drinks included). The only downside is you cannot bring along your camera or phone. Their photographer is all the way with your group along with the guide, taking many pics. Photo prices are pretty steep, you can choose one of two options - 1 pic for US$ 25 or all photos for US$ 100. TIP: if not sure which tour to book, opt for the Basic tour. The "Plus" tour includes bikes which you ride through same paths you've already walked on the basic tour, and it takes double the time (5-6 hrs). To conclude, if you have to choose only one excursion on your Riviera Maya holiday, choose Rio Secreto. It's original, authentic and not man made like the neighboring Xcaret.

Absolutely amazing! Our guide was informative and helpful. Would love to do this again!

Awesome experience. Biking, hiking, spelunking, & swimming through the underground cave network. Unforgettable.

Absolutely amazing. Worth every penny and more. My tour guide was Mitch. He was funny, informed and very experienced. He has a genuine love for the nature that is infectious. The sights are beautiful and awe inspiring. I took the wild tour and my word advice is it for experienced bikers and people in good health. Otherwise you are in a tough ride. The real show is the water caves tour, we went to a private area of water in wild tour that was simply breathtaking.5/5 a must do if in the area

Incredible experience! Miguel was an amazing tour guide and the tour groups were small which made it a very personal experience. We did the Wild tour which included biking. Distance-wise it was maybe only 2-3 miles but if you’re not used to biking off road/mountain biking then this might be a little too intense for you as it did entail going up & down trail hills that were a little rocky in some parts. Afterwards you get to explore the cenotes & the underground cave system which was ~2.5 hours. Water shoes, wet suits, helmets, snorkel masks were all included and there are lockers on the premises. They don’t allow you to bring your own camera to take pictures but they do have a photographer who comes with the group and takes a lot of good photos that you can then purchase afterwards. We had transportation & food included and my husband and I both thought the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

10/10 experience. Can’t recommend enough! We had their shuttle come pick us up from a nearby hotel. The journey from PDC to Rio Secreto was pretty quick. Once we got there, there was some explanation of what we’d be doing and prep with equipment before we could go into the cave. The cave itself was incredible! Not too difficult to navigate. You’ve probably seen the mention of photos, but you can’t bring your own camera down, so your only option for pics is to buy them. To me, it was worth it, though!
