Cenote Dos Ojos & Manati Tour: Snorkel Two Cenotes

Snorkel two cenotes and move between an underground system and an open lagoon

A guided tour from Tulum visits Cenote Dos Ojos and Casa Cenote (also called Cenote Manati) over 4.5 hours, with snorkeling at both sites. Cenote Dos Ojos is two sinkholes connected by a 400-meter passageway with visibility that lets you see rock formations and light effects underwater. Casa Cenote is a 400-meter open lagoon across from the ocean, still less crowded than the main sites. The tour includes snorkel equipment, a sandwich and energy bar, drinks, and pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle.

The experience

Cenote Dos Ojos sits in the Sac Actun system in northeast Quintana Roo, about 45 minutes south of Cancun. The cenote is two sinkholes of 70 meters in diameter joined by a 400-meter passage through the limestone. Water temperature stays at 24–25 degrees Celsius year-round, and the visibility is clear enough to see the rock formations and the way light filters through the water. Snorkeling here means moving through an underground system that the early Mayans believed led to the underworld. The cenote is popular with both snorkelers and divers because of the scale and the conditions.

Casa Cenote, known locally as Cenote Manati, is a 400-meter open lagoon five meters wide and five meters deep, positioned just across from the ocean. Unlike Dos Ojos, it sits above ground and has some current from the nearby sea. The operator describes it as one of the hidden jewels of the Riviera Maya because it remains less visited than the main tourist cenotes, even though the setting is dramatic. The tour moves between the two in an air-conditioned vehicle, so you experience both the enclosed underground passage and the open-air lagoon in one morning.

The day runs 4.5 hours total and includes snorkel equipment at both sites, a sandwich and energy bar, water and juice, and all entry fees. A live guide speaks English or Spanish. The tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers, or those with poor cardiovascular health. You should have at least moderate fitness to manage the snorkeling and the entry and exit at both cenotes.
