The World's Largest Underwater Cave System Was Just Discovered in Mexico

"Divers recently found that two of Mexico's longest submerged cave networks—Sac Actun (164 miles) and Dos Ojos (52 miles)—are actually connected, creating an enormous flooded cave that's officially the largest in the world, at over 216 miles long."

We used to dive in the Dos Ojos cenotas with scuba gear, but this time we opted for a snorkeling tour with a guide. Everything was well-organized, and we were provided with all the necessary equipment for the water excursion, including disposable snorkels and flashlights. The water was crystal clear, offering great visibility of fish schools. The interior was beautiful, featuring stalactites and stalagmites like traditional caves, but partially filled with water. Cute little bats inhabit the cave ceilings. Great place to visit when in the area!🤿🐟

A perfect relaxing cenote visit replete with scuba trips, snorkeling, cooled to a perfect temperature by cave rock formations. The surrounding area includes rustic amenities perfect for a natural experience.

You have two ticket options: just the entrance or with a dive tour. We took only the entrance and 1 hour was enough to enjoy the water. Was a bit crowded around noon on a weekday, but still enjoyed the swim.

100% worth it, the cave snorkel was absolutely magical. Saw bats, eels, fish and a tarantula. I think it’s over priced, $88 usd for two people but I’m still glad we did it. Drinks in the park and souvenirs are overpriced. All equipment for snorkel and lockers included in price

Jajaja, Didn’t think I’d give this Cenote 5 Stars But,.. After you Pay the 400 Peso Per Person and drive all the way to Dos Ojos Cenote. You CAN bring your “Beverages” (and Food) into the Cenote area and drink. If you rather, you can buy your Beer at the restaurant there for $120 peso per. Anyways, go to the 2nd Ojo Cenote, and look around a bit. Then go to the 1st Cenote. Go to where the big raft/platform is where the divers get in and out of the water. Then go to the right past the young guide/watchman sitting in a chair (don’t worry, his head is down playing on his phone) and slip right him, then down a little path to your own PRIVATE Cenote. No Vest, Nada, just jump in and enjoy. Little turtles, big Lizards, and fish. It was GREAT !!! and worth the 400 Pesos.

Two Eyes Cenote isn't just a place to swim; it's a portal to another world. The cool, mineral-rich water embraces you as you descend into the depths, a welcome contrast to the Yucatecan sun. The silence, broken only by the occasional drip or the soft splash of a fellow explorer, is profound. Sunlight filters through the openings, creating ethereal beams that dance across the stalactites and stalagmites. It's a visual symphony of light and shadow, amplified by the crystal-clear water. More than a cenote, it's a sensory experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, humbled, and deeply connected to the earth.

Took a day trip via taxi from Bahia Principe. Two ladies with limited mobility stayed at the first cenote while 2 others went on the complete cenote tour. Fresh guacamole as well as coconut off the tree and fresh watermelon juice for refreshments afterward. Very clean establishment. Truly chill vibes. Gracias.

Easy access with drive up to entrance and a bit of a walk to cenotes. Very much worth it. Did bring our own snorkel. They do provide life vest.

One of the best cenote places in Tulum. I'd definitely suggest to purchase the combo deal it should give you access to all cenotes: Jaguar (the smallest one with short ziplinning), Nicteha (the mid size but quietest of them), and Dos Ojos (the biggest one with a crowd). The combo also covers the parking. It can be quite drive to go from the ticketing to each respective cenotes. Driving or scooting into each cenotes is recommended. Dos Ojos Cenotes is where the main attraction is and it can be quite enjoyable. We did snorkeling and the view under the water was clear amazing. It would have been much better if we were scuba diving certified to be able to dive inside the cave and into path underneath. That's why I think this place would be really amazing if you were scuba diving certified so you get to explore everything. I guess I should be looking forward to do this next time...

Beautiful cenote! Entrance ~$21 US dollars Life jackets are required & provided. Cenote 2 is bigger & is shaped like a half moon You can swim from one side to the other. There is a restaurant on site for the post swim appetite which is a little pricy but not too bad. Con: Bats are very active & there are lots of mosquitoes! ::

This place is very memorable for me. It was my first try to go to a deep water and was really scared in the beginning especially that I do not know how to swim. With the help of my husband, i enjoyed the trip and had a wonderful experience. The admission price included the two cenotes visit and the life vest. On the first eye, there was a spot allocated just for divers and those who is going to the tours. In between the two cenotes, is a bat cave. Underneath as what we heard from those who went to the tours, they need to use flashlights crossing the two cenotes for it was pitch black. The second eye was deeper but has this big rocks in the middle that you could sit in when pause for a break. Anybody could swim up to the side of the cave where lots of rock formation are visible. Water is very cold. If you could dressed in a wet suit and aqua shoes, that will be perfect. You will have a good time in this place in every inch of the way.

NGL, I found this spot on Instagram. The water is so blue in the photos that I thought it surely had to be some crazy filters people applied. Nope. It's real! How it's possible? Maybe some magic?? All jokes aside, I think this Cenote is 100% worth visiting. It is so serene, beautiful, and ominous at the same time. We drove our own car, and there is a long dirt road from where you pay entry (I think we paid around $20ish USD per person or so) to the Cenotes - around a 15 minute drive or so. Another thing to note, they do accept US Dollars, which we were unsure of and were panicking about since all Peso ATMs we encountered in Mexico seemed to be broken the day we arrived. Water was cool but not unbearably cold. We brought our own snorkels to look around at the fish/cave features. Tip - before you come to Mexico, buy yourself a waterproof phone case on Amazon so you can bring your phone into the water.

This place is so beautiful! Definitely top two highlight of my trip to Tulum. I really enjoyed going on the tour and would highly recommend it. First, you start in a small building that has wetsuits, snorkeling gear, and flippers. There's a bathroom by here. Then you go out with your instructor to a smaller cenote to practice using your gear for about 20 minutes. After that, he takes you to a bigger one which is where the tour begins. This cenote will connect to the rest of them inside this park. However, you can only swim between cenotes if you have a guide, otherwise you have to keep getting out and walking over to the other one. During this tour, you may find some bats. My tour guide didn't take me directly to them but I saw them flying in the cave and they were very close. He was able to snap a picture of them. The tour lasted about 40 minutes and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and well-versed in English. If you want, the tour guide can take pictures of you with a waterproof camera that you can pay $20 for for him to send over WhatsApp. The pictures were great quality and our tour guide was patient with getting good pics. The water was super clear and beautiful as were all the formations. This is definitely a must see on your visit to the area

We just got back from vacationing in Cancun and Playa del Carmen and when people ask my favorite part, without a doubt it's this. There's a 300 pesos option where you get to swim around in the eyes for a bit, but we opted for the 600 pesos (about $30) per person which included all the snorkeling gear and a guide with access to the bat cave. You're in small groups so you get the attention you want! You put on your gear and they give you lockers and they take you to the first eye for about 25 minutes so you can get acquainted with your snorkel and flippers and know if you want a wet suit or life jacket for the second eye. In the second eye, you get flashlights and follow your guide as they explain the history and show you around, just watch your head! Those stalactites get close! And then you get to end in the bat cave which is incredible! Definitely 10/10 would recommend. We planned to go to many cenotes but only got this one, but I feel like it was the best one.

Great place to snorkel. I Can't improve on the other reviews with more pictures so I'll try just give you some other thoughts and advice. Take fins and a waterproof flashlight to enhance your experience. If you have your own snorkeling gear bring it. Rent a locker for five dollars and bring a change of clothes. If you are arriving by taxi be sure to negotiate a price that includes them sticking around for the return ride back to your hotel, otherwise you may be there a while waiting for another taxi that you will have to call for.

Heck yes on this place!!! I loved it because it's a little off the beaten path and not many people were here. Super clean and nice. Bunch swings around so once you're done swimming you can go lay out. There is a little bar up top too so you can grab some food and drinks and then get back to swimming

Dos Ojos was the second of two cenotes we took the opportunity to visit on our trip to Mexico. These caves filled with fresh water are just spectacular natural creations. I've never swam in something so beautiful, fish tickling our bodies, bats flying above. It all feels like something out of a movie or some sort of fantasy date on the Bachelor. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Life vests are provided but my son and I did not use them. Tons of hammocks for sitting, picnicking and relaxing. I can see where swimming around would be far less effort if you wore one, but what's the fun in that? Might as well burn some calories while experiencing this gorgeous cenote.

Amazing cenote! My husband and I hired a guide to take us scuba diving (husband) and snorkeling (for me). We both had such a wonderful time!! I have a huuuuuuuuuuge phobia of deep waters but I was forced to get over that very quickly! The water was just sooo beautiful you kind of just get over your fear. Getting to this cenote was a trek! You go through a mile or so of super bumpy roads (our guide called it getting a "mexican massage" LOL) and your butt gets sore by the end of the car ride. There was this super awesome bat cave entrance where you slide through via snorkeling a super tiny entrance. It looks super scary at first but its definitely worth it! The bat cave is pitch black except for a tiny opening on the cave ceiling. It was such a wonderful experience!!

love swimming and this was so surreal. I read about the cenotes before visiting Tulum. So many people said they are spiritual and honestly it does feel like you enter into another world. You walk down stairs which take you underground. So because we were underground and I read so much about spirituality I was so scared to actually put my head underwater with my goggles on and see the underwater tunnels that deep sea divers, dive in to go even deeper into the cenotes. They looked like portals into the underworld. So kudos to my friend who was so brave, imo, and swam around the entire cenote with her head underwater and didn't feel like she was going to be pulled into the underworld because that's how I felt. I just slowly walked on the rocks. But don't let me scare you I really enjoyed the cenote. Driving to the cenote you get to see the mayan peoples homes.  And when visiting the cenote please please go with a tour guide if it's your first time going.

Truly a magical place! I was able to propose to my girlfriend in their underground Cenote Taak Bi Ha. It truly was a magical place, so magical that I even forgot the special words, since I was so blown away! But I was able to get on one knee and ask her to marry me! We even were able to get in the water and take a swim, the water was crystal clear and a bit chilly at first but you'll get acclimated pretty quick. There is something just so special in swimming inside a cave with fossilized stone all around you! Yes there are bats inside the cave, but that's part of the whole cave experience right? This Cenote will definitely hold a special place in my heart!

This place is expensive but beautiful and more worth the high cost than other cenotes because the property itself is beautiful and you can spend a day here. They have so many cenotes. Favorite was jaguar because you can jump and swim and it was a nice contrast with the caves. Bring food - restaurant is overpriced and mediocre. 200 pesos for a plain and not great quesadilla.

What a wonderful place!!! I definitely recommend it, the caverns is just amazing, the water is beautiful everything is just a heaven. If you can bring a wader proof case for you phone to take pictures under the wader on the open cenote, you may be enchanted by the view.

The Cenote is 3km off the highway. The ambiance when you pass through the entrance is sub par. It's $350 pesos per person. It's crowded, there are lots of tourists, and it's a far walk to get to either of the Cenotes. After visiting Cenote car wash, Corazon el Paraiso, and Cenote Santa Cruz, this one fell at the bottom of our favorites list.

I am a landlubber, not a water person, so it takes a special place to get me to shed my deep water phobia and dive in (okay, maybe tip toe trepidatiously in while squeezing my husband's hand with a death grip.) The Mayans believed cenotes to be gateways to the afterlife, and for a second I thought I was going to be scared to death, but after a few minutes in the water I was floating around peacefully. Cenote Dos Ojos is definitely special and was so worthy of the quivering and shivering I did while spelunking around the caves. The cenotes are so beautiful and it's a cool experience to snorkel in freshwater. What the cenotes lack in flashy exotic fish, they make up for with amazing geology, bats, and a serene experience that comes with being in a dark place with just the faintest amount of light trickling through. The operation here is pretty well organized and the equipment was just fine. For $50 (American) my husband and I were able to snorkel for two hours in a small group and get access to parts of the cenotes that one can't go to without a guide. Nota bene-may not be great for people with claustrophobia (luckily not a problem for me) as we snorkeled through some pretty tight spots. Being in freshwater without the sun meant no chance of sunburn (yay) but I was really cold by the end and would definitely opt for a wetsuit the next time, which they did offer me at the beginning of the trip and I foolishly declined. Our guide was great-can't remember his name, but he kept checking in on me and my fear level. Muy amable. This is the only cenote I've been to but I would go back (deep water fear and all) to experience it again.

It was very easy to snorkel in both eyes without a guide. I really enjoyed the second eye but I wish we had brought water proof flashlights. We could see under the water by watching the divers lights.

Fabulous ! I've been Scuba Diving for more than 30 years and this is one of my favorite spots ! Dos Ojos means "Two Eyes". Cenote means "a natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath." There are a series of cenotes along the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula. Dos Ojos is NOT for the novice scuba diver. There are plenty of spots to set up your dive gear. The walk to the entrance is moderate in length and difficulty. (assuming you have 30 pounds of gear on your back and are carrying your fins and mask.) Entry into the water is easy and you are soon on your way into the cool, clear fresh water. The Two Eyes (sinkholes) are connected by a series of totally submerged, underwater tunnels that get tight in some spots. You have to make sure your tank doesn't get caught on the rocks. The route is easy to navigate as there is a yellow nylon rope on the bottom that you follow. Safety First ! As I said, the tunnels are totally underwater. Some areas are totally black and fully covered by overhead rock (Cave) while other parts have sunlight poking through. (Cavern) A flashlight is a must for this dive. There is one spot where you can break the surface and come up into a true Bat Cave. I'm sure it's safe to breath in there but I kept my regulator in my mouth. Just say No to Guano. Ha ! I highly recommend this dive.

Simply breathtaking. We went to the Mayan mistery which is part of the 2 eyes cenote and it was beyond beautiful. We will definitely go back when we go back to Mexico!

Worth the experience. We showed up around 10am and were glad we did because it gets busy and there is a lot of information to go over before entering. You can choose between several different tours with a tour guide. This option costs about $40 / pp and is worth it for the first time at least. The guide took us to 3 different cenotes. One cenote we snorkeled under the caves and into area referred to as the "Bat Cave." Yes, there were bats everywhere! We stayed for about 3 hours altogether and met a few nice people. I would recommend this place.

Don't bring any belongings - they will steal your things if you don't lock them up. Waited until I walked to the cenote and they stole all my belongings. Do not go here, they are thieves and waited for me to enter the cenote and then the lady providing life jackets signaled someone to come take our pack. They laughed when I asked for help, I called the police and what you expect happened. Don't support this band of thieves go somewhere else

This was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Life jackets are available if you feel more comfortable. It gets pretty deep in places. The larger cenotes even has a path you can swim through that gets quite dark. I swam that part with a flashlight. Its completely safe though. If you are a good swimmer, you don't need a life jacket but if you are not 100% comfortable with swimming or just swimming in a deep cave makes you nervous, definitely get one. Not too much life in the water besides little silver fish. I did see a small bat hanging above me. They also offer scuba diving which seems really cool. I came on an excursion that included the snorkeling and a meal at the onsite restaurant. The food there was excellent... local and fresh. I highly recommend this place if you visit Mexico.

As soon as we arrived in PDC my husband would not stop talking about the Cenotes, there are a bunch of different ones located along the road, you'll see the signs, but he said this one was the best. We came bright and early at 8:30 to avoid it being crowded since other yelpers mentioned its popularity. We started off with the basic entre fee and my husband said we didn't need a tour guide blah blah since he did this all before. We were told that with our ticket level we would get snorkels and access to both caves. BUT once we got going and ready we were told we could not go w/o a guide and paying the next price point up for access to the bat cave. Did I feel bamboozled-kinda. Could there have been some miscommunication perhaps....but lets be honest your still paying to explore such a unique place that if it was in America you'd prob pay even more and be super restricted. The area prides its self on being eco-friendly and recommends using bug spray & sun block that is natural/organic so it's safer on the ecosystem. They recommend a wet suit which makes sense for the 2nd caves (bat cave), if your not careful you could scrap your leg etc. But of course my husband and I thugged it out and honestly with a wet suit you will be freezing when you come out. Also people complained of it being SUPER cold but it really wasn't that bad - unless your down there for hours and there's no sun I can't imagine it being THAT cold. Bottom line is go with an open mind and enjoy the caves -I do recommend a tour guide for the bat cave esp if you not a swimmer and observant because you can easily bump your head on a stalactite. Don't be shy bring some snacks (you'll have a locker) and rest on a hammock in between cave explorations they truly are a sight to see. The water is crystal clear, naturally filtered water that you can look down & watch all the fishies swimming around you and look up for the bats! Overall wonderful experience, they have bathrooms (don't worry they aren't too shabby) & we legit had the best mango w/ chilli & lime from a guy outside in the parking lot!

This place is beautiful.. I first heard about the Dos Ojos cenotes from my Spanish professor in college and was glad that I observed its beauty first hand. Unfortunately, I do not remember our tour guide's name but she was extremely helpful and explained the history behind the cenotes very carefully both in English and Spanish. There are 2 packages to chose from. We got the full package (about $20) which included wetsuit, snorkels and a guided tour. The whole experience takes about hour and half. The water was cold and crystal clear. You start with half an hour at the first cenote which is small but you can still see some tiny living creatures there and then you walk with your tour guide to the second cenote which is bigger and has the bat cave inside. There you swim through the cenotes and you are able to see the connection between the two cenotes from a special spot. You even get to see the beautiful natural lights from underneath the water. Last stop is the bat cave. There were roughly about 100 bats hanging from the caves. There are a lot of mosquitos make sure you wear repellents I got bit in several places.

We came here from Tulum on a Friday at the end of September. I was a little concerned after seeing so many reviews that complained about how crowded it was when they went. On the contrary, we had the cenotes almost entirely to ourselves! We just wanted to swim, not dive or snorkel, and we had an amazing time. We opted to pay 50 pesos each way for a car ride down the bumpy dirt road to the cenotes entrance. This was worth it, since it was almost a mile each way. We rented a locker for 50 pesos from the same place where you get your life jacket (if you want one, it's included in the entrance fee). We probably could have kept our things with us since there were so few people, but we used it just in case. Definitely bring a towel and a hairbrush for after, and maybe even a change of clothes. I knew the first eye was smaller, but I'm glad we went there first. The cave is a different shape and a more brilliant blue than the second one, and it was cool to have both experiences. The water is so transparent and blue and peaceful. And cold! Once you swim around some, it warms you up enough though. The second eye was the clear favorite and I swam around amazed at the unique beauty of the nature around me. You can see straight down as you swim and it's almost scary to see that depth. There are a lot of cenotes in the area and these were the only ones we made it to, but for me Dos Ojos was the best part of our entire trip to Mexico. If I ever return to the area, I'll definitely be making another stop here.

Great spot for snorkeling and scuba. Price was MXN350 for entrance and an additional charge of MXN250 for promise of an English speaking tour guide, snorkeling gear, fins, helmet, flashlight, wetsuit and life jacket. I'd already brought my own snorkeling gear. Was told I needed wetsuit. When i finally arrived at the cenote (which BTW is a few miles on an unpaved road - saw some ATVs on this road as well), I was introduced to the tour guide (who barely spoke any English), and he immediately said there is no wetsuit required (went today, end of Nov). The first cenote is on the left of locker area and there is no guide required. The second cenote is where they have batcave. There were no helmets provided and yes your head does hit some stalactites so be careful. It's a great cenote experience, but the company running it seems to pry on tourists and misinform them. Feel like I was cheated out of MXN250 for flashlight and a guide who barely spoke English and seemed to be in a hurry. My opinion is buy the cenote ticket - skip the upcharge for tour guide. You can comfortably do the first cenote on your own, and check out part of the second cenote (bat cave). If you want to venture deeper into the bat cave, then walk back to the locker area and pay for a tour guide.

What an adventure! We took the collectivo from Tulum to Dos Ojos. We were pretty nervous about the collectivo, but it worked out just fine and dropped us off at the entrance. We didn't have a car so we needed transportation to the Cenotes. Admission plus transportation cost $400 Pesos ($300 for both of us, $50 one way transportation). I expected a car to take us to the Cenotes. Nope, this is Mexico. Basically a piece of crap bicycle/motorcycle/rickshaw/whoknows took us to the Cenotes (about 4km/2miles) and let me just tell you, it was a scary a$$ bumpy ride!!! Holy cow, we hung onto our dear lives (see pictures). Once we got to the first Ojo, we were mesmerized and forgot all about the ride in. Crystal clear blue fresh water. A natural cave, full of clean cool water! Gorgeous! Go early because it really does get crowded quick. It's not a very big pool, we spent maybe an hour to hour and half there. My husband wished he went scuba diving there. It was awesome to see the divers descend into the water then make their way into the caves with their flashlights. Really awesome. The second Ojo is much bigger and longer, but a little darker. Not as much sunlight in this cave, due to it's smaller opening. Lots of people here too. Because the second Ojo is in a round formation, there's a nice little courtyard area, which is kind of jungly. My husband spent a lot of time in this one, went far into the darker back areas, went all the way to the end, which is the Seco (dry) Ojo. We realized it was about close to 5pm when we were done with the 2nd Ojo. We walked back to the entrance gate of the Cenotes to find that the guy at the station/kiosk was gone already!!! We were supposed to call for a ride back to the entrance entrance. Now we were stuck!! And I sure as hell was not going to walk that dirt road, 2 miles back in wet clothes!! Thankfully, a nice lady who rented out snorkel gear was still there, and she manage to call the front desk for pick up.....she then tells us in broken English (but very nice), they will be here in 10 minutes in a white car.........10 minutes rolls by, 20 minutes rolls by, 30 minutes rolls by, 40 minutes rolls by. Now she is even getting anxious, packing up her stuff to leave for the day. Thankfully, she calls the front desk again and probably ask what the heck?! They said they'll be there soon....she kept saying "andale" which means hurry, which is all I caught. She then leaves us to go home for the day. Now we are really abandoned with no phone or transportation.......fantastic!!! We waited for another 10 minutes, no one came for us. Thankfully, a taxi happened to show up!!! We didn't risk it, paid 50 pesos and got the hell out of there! We didn't care about getting a refund for our transportation, not that anyone was there anyway.....bad customer service on their part. Other than that, I would highly recommend the snorkeling and next time, diving the Cenotes!

On our Yucatan adventure, we quickly fell in love with snorkeling in cenotes. Cenote Dos Ojos is one of our favorites that we visited. The grounds were beautifully kept, and the water was crystal clear. A little cool, but refreshing. The rock formations you can swim through are quite impressive. We swam around for about an hour in each of the two cenotes and took pictures and explored. When we visited in the afternoon in early March, there were only a few other guests, so it felt like our own little secret cave. Entrance to both of los dos ojos cenotes is 150 pesos (about $12 USD) per person, cash only, if I remember correctly. There are scuba shops on site that rent dive and snorkel equipment. My husband and I are newly open water scuba certified, and the staff said that we could cave dive with that certification, but it made me nervous to push the limits of my training, so we just stuck to snorkeling and still had a wonderful experience and saw many fantastic things. If you don't have your own goggles or mask, RENT ONE. All the beauty is underwater, and you're really missing out if you can't see clearly. Be warned that you have to drive about a half a mile down a dirt and gravel road from the entrance booth to the cenotes, so if you have a small car and the roads are muddy, it might be precarious. If you're in Playa del Carmen or Tulum, take a break from the hot beach and visit this shady, rocky jungle paradise. __________ En nuestra aventura de Yucatán, rápidamente nos enamoramos de snorkel en cenotes. Cenote Dos Ojos es uno de nuestros favoritos que visitamos. Los jardines estaban muy bien cuidados, y el agua era cristalina. Un poco fría, pero refrescante. Las formaciones de roca se puede nadar a través son bastante impresionantes. Nadamos alrededor por cerca de una hora en cada uno de los dos cenotes y tomó fotos y exploramos. Cuando lo visitamos en la tarde a principios de marzo, sólo había unos pocos huéspedes, así que nos sentimos como nuestra propia pequeña cueva secreta. La entrada a ambos de los Dos Ojos cenotes es de 150 pesos (alrededor de $ 12 USD) por persona, sólo en efectivo, si no recuerdo mal. Hay tiendas de buceo en el lugar que alquilan de buceo y equipo de buceo. Mi esposo y yo estamos de buceo en agua recién abiertas certificadas, y el personal dijo que podíamos bucear en cuevas con esa certificación, pero me ponían nerviosa a empujar los límites de mi entrenamiento, así que simplemente pegado a bucear y todavía tenía una experiencia maravillosa y vio muchas cosas fantásticas. Si usted no tiene sus propias gafas o máscara, alquilar uno. Toda la belleza está bajo el agua, y usted está realmente perdiendo si no se puede ver claramente. Ten en cuenta que tienes que conducir alrededor de kilómetro por un camino de tierra y grava de la cabina de entrada a los cenotes, así que si tienes un coche pequeño y los caminos están embarrados, podría ser precaria. Si se encuentra en Playa del Carmen o Tulum, tomar un descanso de la playa caliente y visitar esta sombra, rocoso paraíso de la selva.

The cenotes were cool.. we were there all day & just kicked back. It was nice to see but I think more of A cool destination for scuba divers. The food at the restaurant was out of this world delicious! We had guac, ceviche and grilled shrimp that were excellent . The horchata was the best I've ever had. The service was excellent. I highly recommend checking it out!

Dos Ojos Cenotes Upon driving in, there is a building on the left. That's where I booked my tour which included a guide, snorkel equipment, wetsuit (which I recommend because it can get cold inside) flashlight and fins. I read on other reviews that for two people, it was 900 pesos. When we booked it, they charged us 1000 pesos. So the start of this trip already left a bad taste in my mouth. We even saw their books stating that the last couple that came in was charged 900 pesos. Oh well - not a big deal - I just hate being scammed. After we got our vouchers, we drove down this bumpy road for about 3km. Then we were directed to the area to get suited. Our guide didn't even introduce himself to us. Instead he rushed us to get fitted because we were going to be joining another group. Cool. Totally understandable. As we start walking down, I realized he didn't ask anyone if we need a life jacket. Sounds stupid - but yea, I'm not that great of a swimmer so when I asked him for one, he got annoyed and went back to get me a jacket. Now for our underwater adventure which was so amazing and breath taking. Loved every minute of it. However, 2 out of 6 spoke English so he did most of the talking in Spanish! So yea- I didn't get to understand half the shit he was saying. At one point of the tour, he was going to push us under the water one at a time so we can see the outside light coming into the cenote. The girl next to me happened to go first so when he pushed her down, it immediately pulled me into close to her and then he pushed me out of the way and scolded me for not leaving him enough room. This guide, Joel was the biggest asshole. I think I would've had a better experience with a guide that was more kind and nice but instead I get this rude person. He left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyways, the next cenote was no where as awesome as the first one we went to. Definitely a cool experience! Just hated my guide.

Dos Ojos was an extremely cool Cenote to visit in Tulum. It's considered a cave Cenote and I would recommend going with a guide who can fully explain everything you see. The water is very cold, wear a wet suit if you can!

We started off our day of cenotes by thinking we would hit Dos Ojos and Sac Actun since both seemed to be in the same spot on the map. What we found was at the road to turn down for them, there is a fee right there for Dos Ojos. We paid the requested 200 pesos and were sent on our way. We drove all the way through to Sac Actun (about a 5+ minute drive) and were greeted by an interesting fellow who told us that we had to pay again to see Sac Actun and it required a guide, all for 450 pesos. We opted out. We drove back to where we saw the Dos Ojos sign (restaurant too) and proceeded with our day. We opted for not using the life jackets. The signs make it seem like they are required, but they are not. When you park in the lot, the entrance is obvious. Once through, proceed straight and you will get to two locations for lockers and life jackets. We didn't use the lockers as we just left it all in the car and walked up ready to swim. Once you are to that area, there is a cenote to your right and left. Both are nice. The one to the left is the big one. Water was super cold and super clear. We swam for about 90 minutes and then enjoyed a pina colada (one of the best I have had) at the restaurant. The restaurant also brought us chips and salsa for no charge.

Very nice. Tips, wear sandals or shoes that can get wet. If you can dive do it on a sunny day . Underwater cameras and flashlights!!!

We may have missed something... nothing really to see for snorkeling. It would probably be better on a guided tour. The park is nice... hammocks, food and drinks.

I have been diving and snorkeling the Cenotes for many years. Always wanted to try Dos Ojos and drove the family 2 hours (each way) to give it a shot. What was supposed to be the highlight of my trip turned out to be the worst part by far! After paying the far above normal fee, and heading to the water, I was told that I MUST wear a life vest!? Don't get me wrong, glad they provide them for people who choose to wear them. But, I personally have no interest whatsoever in snorkeling with a life vest or being a patron of any establishment that would REQUIRE me to. I immediately told them I no longer desire to utilize any part of their establishment and would need a full refund. It took nearly 30 minutes of haggling and an escalation before they finally returned my money! If you are looking for fun and adventure, stay far away from this place! If you want the Disney experience on some guided tour, I didn't even see the water, so I can't help you. I know many people appreciate wearing safety devices and I am happy they do. But it makes me sick to see this compulsory extreme safetyism that is spreading like a cancer through the world! Please do not support this trend or any business that takes part in it!

Dos Ojos was the largest cenote we visited on the trip, and all of the locals said it was a must. Though it was a bit crowded with tourists, both 'eyes' were really big so there was plenty of space for everyone to snorkel and explore. I skipped the tour packages, but you can get a guided tour to some areas that are off limits to others. There are also lots of scuba groups that go into the dark caves for even further exploration. I have no idea how these people do it... those pitch black underwater caves look terrifying to me! Expect to see lots of fish, as well as some bats. Everyone, humans and animals alike, seem to leave each other alone though, so it's not creepy or annoying. The water is cool, clear, and clean... a really beautiful experience that's not to be missed when you're in the area.

Really awesome experience swimming in natural caves filled with stalagmites, stalactites, and fish. As an added bonus, the fresh cave water made my hair look amazing. If you're snorkeling, I recommend paying extra to go with the guide so you can go into the batcave, which requires going through a narrow little corridor. I wish they'd recommended full-body wetsuits, as I didn't realize we'd be down there for about an hour straight, and it gets very, very cold. This is definitely not appropriate for the claustrophobic or for small children.

This place is a must see. It a a really great, cheap adventure....snorkel through underwater caverns and rise up in a bat cave!

This was an awesome experience. I could only imagine how much more awesome it would be if we actually scuba dived down into the caves. We swam somewhat deep and the water was crystal clear. It wasn't too busy with people so we were able to swim freely. If you have plenty of time, do the small cenote first, then the big one, just for the build up. If you're short on time, I'd suggest doing the big one only.

Second Ojo was our favorite!! We were really able to explore the caves just from the sunlight. They also will rent out Snorkel gear and they give you life jackets to use.

Perfectly beautiful and a little scary wrapped up in one for this city slicker. Prob not necessary to scuba or snorkel. Just swim and take your time. There is some avg shopping and a cute restaurant to grab a bite. Pro-tip: no need for aqua socks. Also, bring a waterproof bag to put your phone in to take underwater video. It's so clear and perf for the 'gram!

The people of the Mayan community are so very friendly and kind. They are gracious and welcoming. This community shares their earnings as a tribe. So interesting. They work hard and share the beautiful cenote experience with tourists. We have a great lunch - authentic Mexican - tacos and tortilla chips. This was our second trip there. You must do this if you come to Tulum area.

Cannot stress this enough: if you aren't diving, make sure you do the snorkel tour!! It costs 500 pesos and is payable at the "Snorkel Tour" building where you turn off the highway. The tour includes a guide, mask, snorkel, life vest, wet suit and fins, and the guide takes you to places you would never be able to go on your own. It was the most amazing experience to be swimming in the pitch dark through narrow stalagtites (mites?) to get to a cave filled with hundreds of tiny squirming bats. Outside of the tour: Dos Ojos is a pretty cool cenote. It has two eyes: make sure you go to the second eye instead of staying at the first one -- the second one is much larger and less crowded, though less deep. The water is crystal clear blue and refreshing, and there are hammocks and benches near the second eye for relaxing the day away. My husband did a two-tank dive here with the Dos Ojos scuba dive shop right at the entrance, which was pretty convenient and they took him in at last minute when another Tulum area shops was full.

Fun cenote to visit! The waters were really clear and blue, it's also interesting to watch the divers below look at things with their flash light. Only things is that it can get a little bit cold because it is a cave and there isn't a lot of sun. If looking for more cenotes to visit, I definitely recommend Nicte Ha cenote. It's right next to this one and is a BEAUTY!!

WOW! We were absolutely blown way by the beauty of this "underwater world" It is the first ever cavern dive we have been to. At first, I was a little scared at the darkness of the cave, but after a while, it was great! It's great for snorkeling and from what I've seen, scuba diving too. For snorkeling, we paid $25 per person and $12 for mask and snorkel. The fins were extra charge. We didn't think we needed it. It ended up, we didn't really need a life jacket or fins, but that's us. We have our own snorkel equipment we wished we brought. If you own one, bring! :) We did not have a flashlight. I think it would have helped a little. I think the flashlight come with the tour package. It did not come with the mask and snorkel rentals. While we snorkeled at the cenote, it was a nice "break" from the blazing sun. It was in a cave with a small open spot. The water was amazingly clear, blue-aquaish and very fresh. We felt rejuvenated! There were rocks underwater to see, fishes to watch and the people were very friendly. It was a little crowded with the tours (you may opt for tour package, we didn't), but don't let the crowd keep you away from coming! There are 2 eyes at this cenote-- we liked the 2nd one better. It was longer and more cave to see. The 1st eye was smaller, but both were magical. Be forewarned that there are more places to go/see scuba diving than snorkeling, but it's still worth it! Oh, the water was COLD! :) But again, it was very refreshing. And, I think I saw bats. I saw some flying in, but I wasn't distracted by them until after the tour... I went "were they bats?" Yeah, I think they were. We ate lunch at Juanita's across from the dive shop. Their guacamole dip was so good. Their chicken sandwich was pretty good, but not a must get.

AH-MAZING!!! As my other reviews pointed out we only came to Mexico for one thing, whale sharks. Steven did some scuba diving research just in case I wanted to do that too and came across Cenote Dos Ojos! I'm glad he did because a) we haven't done any previous cave diving and b) it's considered cavern diving, so no extra cert needed!! After booking with a scuba diving company right at the bottom of the road that leads to Dos Ojos we realized that getting there was going to be a bit tough. Mexico features some shared highway vans called "collectivos" that sounded a little sketch and disorganized, so we voted for renting a car (terrible rental experience btw so see if you can find another travel option). Anyways, so we arrived at the road that leads to Dos Ojos. We checked in with the scuba place, got our gear and headed up the road with our guide to dive. The cavern itself was somewhat busy with other scuba divers and snorkelers, but when actually on a dive the groups tend to keep separate and it's like diving alone. Absolutely amazing experience, Steven has proclaimed it to be the best dive of his life! The water itself was very clear and the visibility was great. The water was a bit chilly, and seemed to be colder by our second dive so our wet suits were much appreciated. If you don't dive you're certainly missing out, but the snorkeling experience is probably still worth doing. There is a fee to enter the "park" area but I'm not sure how much it is as our's was included with our scuba rental. There's a small shop once you get to the cave area with souvenir type stuff and some cold drinks.
