About This Tour

A private morning tour of Cenote Dos Ojos, one of the world's most famous cenote snorkeling sites, followed by a traditional Mayan lunch. Cenote Dos Ojos ('two eyes') is one of the most celebrated cenote systems in the Yucatan, part of a vast network of underwater caves. This private tour puts you with your own personal snorkeling instructor to explore both connected cenotes and their rock formations, finishing with lunch at a local Mayan restaurant.

Dos Ojos takes its name from Spanish for "two eyes": two adjoining cenote entrances that open into one shared underground cavern system, resembling a pair of eyes when viewed from above. Divers began systematically exploring the system in 1987, and the work has never really stopped — cave divers have since surveyed more than 80 kilometers of connected passages running beneath the jungle, reached through roughly two dozen known sinkhole entrances, making it one of the most thoroughly mapped cave systems in the Yucatán.

That scale and visual drama have made Dos Ojos a repeat subject for filmmakers. It featured in the 2002 IMAX documentary Journey Into Amazing Caves, appeared in the BBC and Discovery Channel's Planet Earth series, and parts of the 2005 Hollywood film The Cave were shot in its passages — a rare case of a real cave-diving site doubling as a movie location rather than a built set.

In January 2018, cave divers confirmed that Dos Ojos is physically connected to the neighboring Sac Actun system via a previously unmapped channel, after an exploration team spent ten months searching for a link its lead diver had been chasing for 14 years. That discovery folded Dos Ojos into what's now recognized as the longest known underwater cave system on Earth — so the "two eyes" you snorkel on this tour are, geologically, one small window into a much larger, still-growing map.

On the water itself, a private instructor means you move through the two connected cenotes at your own pace, with time to take in the stalactites and other limestone formations overhead before finishing the morning with lunch at a local Mayan restaurant.
