I visited Cenote Nicte-Ha on February 27, 2020 during my stay in Tulum. The cenote at the Dos Ojos Cenote Park along the highway between Tulum and Playa del Carmen. I took a colectivo van from along the main highway through Tulum town and told the driver I wanted to go to Cenote Dos Ojos. The drive took around 20 minutes and cost 30 pesos. The colectivo dropped me off along the side of the highway in front of the entrance to Cenote Dos Ojos. From the entrance, I walked along the gravel road through the jungle (which eventually leads to Cenote Dos Ojos at the end) about 15 minutes. There is a large sign indicating the entrance to Nicte-Ha on the right side of the road. There are some other cenotes along the way as well that I did have the opportunity to visit. The entrance fee was 200 pesos. Cenote Nicta-Ha is an open cenote with some cave portions around the edges. It was surrounded by jungle and the setting was quiet and beautiful. I arrived around the opening time at 9 am and was the first person there. It was lovely to enjoy the cenote completely to myself for most of my visit before some others showed up. It was a gorgeous cenote that resembled a natural pool of water, with beautiful lush plants around the edges, lots of lilypads and crystal clear water. The water was chilly but refreshing after a bit. There was a small deck area and benches by the wooden steps to enter the water where you could leave your belongings (I didn't see any lockers). There were lots of little fish that would nibble the dead skin cells on your feet if you stopped moving in the water or sat on the steps with feet in the water (you pay for this spa treatment in Playa del Carmen!). The property around the cenote was very pretty and there were pathways through the jungle leading to the facilities like change rooms, washrooms. After my visit, I walked back to the entrance of the Dos Ojos Cenote Park along the highway and waited for a colectivo along the highway. When they approach, they will flash their lights and if you wave at them, they will stop to pick you up. It was another 20 minutes and 30 pesos back to Tulum. Would highly recommend visiting this cenote. It was peaceful and pretty and lesser visited than others in the area! Easy and cheap to access from Tulum and visit on your own as well (no need to join a tour).

Discover Jungla Maya, where is the main entrance into the amazing Sac-Actun system, the world's longest underground river, explored and recommended by National Snorkeler specialized cave divers. Snorkel surrounded by awesome rock formations. Ride through the jungle on our all-terrain. Rappel down into a cenote (underground cave) and swim in a unique natural pool. Enjoy nature flying over the jung
We had an amazing time on the Jungla Maya Native Park tour! We chose this one because of its close proximity to our hotel. Our drivers were very knowledgeable about the local region and history of the Maya. The combination of the rappelling, ziplining and snorkeling in the cenote is sure to get your adrenaline going! At first I didn't think I could pull off the rappelling, but our tour guide Alejandro was awesome..kept me calm and talked me through it so I was comfortable. He was very informative of the local flora & fauna, bilingual, and well versed in all the activities. Highly recommend this tour if you are a thrill seeker. :)

Yal-ku lagoon is an estuary where fresh and salt water meet, so the biodiversity in the lagoon is incredible. The water is teeming with fish. You can rent a snorkel or bring your own. The park around the lagoon features interesting art statues. There is a small snack bar, clean restrooms, and lockers.

An underground cave with spectacular rock formations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day at this unique and authentic site. It was fun to be off the beaten path in a relaxed setting that hasn't been overrun by tourists. It is a very well run establishment, and the entire staff was friendly and accommodating. The guides were upbeat and patient with us, as well as being very knowledgeable about the caves and the ecology. The prices were very reasonable, and we got a package deal when we went to the Tulum ruins that included a guided tour of the Tulum ruins plus the Aktun Chen cave tour and cenote swim for around $54/each (3 adults, two teens, and two 12 year olds). We tacked on the zipline for a discounted price. We spent all day and enjoyed every aspect of the experience, including the restaurant (reasonable prices and good local fare) and the animals (mostly animal rescues in a semi natural enclosures). We also saw several native butterflies (blue morphos and black/orange longwings) in their natural jungle setting. The absolute highlight was swimming in the underground cenote among the cave formations, fish, and the clearest water I have ever seen. It is incredibly dramatic with the natural light from above through holes in the limestone ceiling. All of the guides we had were wonderful and seemed to love their "office" setting. I would definitely rank our day at Aktun Chen as one of the main highlights of our trip! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Grand Cenote has 140 square meter for swimming, there is one big cave, a cavern and 100 square of wooden platforms where you can walk, chill with the nature and take pictures .
If you are in Tulum, you have to experience the cenotes and in my opinion the Gran Cenote is one of the best. A quaint cenote that you can snorkel and see stalagtites and stalagmites as well as bats and small turtles. Water is clear with a little chill. Also, pretty inexpensive. Shouldn’t cost you anymore than $20 USD per person.

Stay in this area when you go to akumal. Do not rent a car. Get a golf cart. I recommend La Joya for a great condo and awesome location.

Casa Cenote is absolutely amazing! I snorkeled in the Cenote while my fiancé did a scuba dive tour. We both had an amazing experience! We went bright and early so we had the Cenote all the ourselves! This Cenote is a must see!

This place is very beautiful! Cenote is small but fresh, crystal-clear and they even have a very high zip-line you could use, if you dare. There are all sort of things available for purchase there, sunscreen, hats, cellphone covers... Also, there is food and beverage service there, so you could spend the day and order a beer and a few snaks. When you get tired of the cenote, they also have a big pool, loungers and resting areas. Go early because it gets busy very quicly.
