Pleasant day in the water - Loved spending most of the day getting to swim in the cenotes! Guide and driver were also very friendly. The stop in Acanceh was the least interesting, as there wasn't much to see or do there.

AMAZING PLACE - Beautiful place super well organized. The cenotes are spectacular and the services very well. The typical food restaurant is worth it!! It is a place with the most delicious typical food we have ever tasted. I'd come back just for the food.

A hidden gem in Mérida - The park exceeded my expectations. It has 4 cenotes that can be accessed to swim and cool off. The facilities are very well equipped (bathrooms, changing rooms, vest area, lifeguards, restaurant). It is to enjoy a full day in the place.

Cenot- SLAY - What a great trip! Demetrio was an amazing tour guide, extremely informative while keeping it interesting the whole time. We enjoyed the beautiful cenotes and then the best food we’ve had our whole trip at the restaurant! The driver was great as well, even picking us up at our AirBnB perfectly on time. We got to the cenotes before the crowds which I was so grateful for. Overall an amazing experience with a great guide. Thank you Demetrio!

4 different Cenotes!! - We took a day trip from Merida to Santa Barbara for a day of Cenotes . We were able to hire a local cab driver named Antonio Casanova. He speaks very good English and will accommodate groups on day trips around the Yacatan.

Seamless and perfect - Fantastic trip. We got to see small villages with their ruins, and the 4 cenotes were each so different. Our guide Pablo was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Perfect day.

Center Heaven - It is impossible to pick one part as the best. This would have been to Mayapan but there was a local disagreement so the site was closed. So we went to a small Mayan town and saw the market and the church and a surviving temple. Then we went to the Santa Barbara denotes. I thought it was just one but there were four. Each was better then the last one. Good facility, life vests excellent, well marked and an elevator was available for the last one. My wife spent almost 3 hours gloating in heaven while I took video and pictures. We are coming back again next year so I can float around. Guide was awesome Can taught us some Mayan terms and gave us typical Mayan treats from the market. Just a stunningly beautiful experience. Oh lunch was great as well.

Wonderful experience! - This was an excellent tour! Our guide was amazing, he explained a lot while we were driving and also on site. We got to visit five cenotes in total, which were all beautiful, and everything was well timed. I even made new friends on the tour! All in all a great experience and highly recommend Traveler Tiger, very professional, would book with them again.
