The experience
The ride starts at the tour headquarters and moves through Tulum's downtown streets before heading into the jungle. Your guide rides alongside you the whole way, sharing what the cenotes meant to the Maya people and pointing out the landscape as you go. Because it's an e-bike, you can push the button and let the motor do the work: no need to strain on the pedals, especially in the heat.
Gran Cenote comes first, and you'll swim and snorkel there before moving on. The second stop is Cenote Escondido, also called Mayan Blue, where you get time in the water again. By the time you reach Cenote Cristal, the third cenote, you'll have eaten your local Mayan lunch and have a sense of how different each one feels. All three are subterranean caves, you walk down into them, and the snorkeling gear is provided, so you just show up ready to go in. The whole day runs about six hours.
If an e-bike isn't what you want, you can swap it for an ATV or a scooter instead, and you can ride double on the ATV or scooter if that suits your group better. Snacks and water come throughout the day, and a heavy-duty lock and chain keep your bike secure while you're in the water. The guide speaks English and Spanish.

What's the difference between the three cenotes on this tour?
Gran Cenote is the famous one, well-known and accessible; Cenote Escondido (Mayan Blue) is more rustic and secluded; Cenote Cristal is the most natural of the three. Each one is a separate sinkhole with its own character, and you snorkel in all three.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer or experienced snorkeler to do this?
No. The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and the snorkeling gear is provided. The cenotes are natural swimming holes, and your guide will be there the whole time.
How does the e-bike work if I'm not fit or don't want to pedal much?
The e-bike has a motor you activate by pushing a button, so you can ride without pedaling hard. You control how much effort you put in, and the motor handles the rest, especially useful in the Yucatan heat and on longer stretches through the jungle.
What's included in the local Mayan lunch?
The tour includes a traditional Mayan lunch, plus snacks and water throughout the day. The lunch happens at Cenote Cristal, the third stop, so you're refueled before the final swim.
