Early cenote trip with Carlos - Carlos was a very friendly and experienced guide that picked us up from the hotel early in the morning. This way we were the first ones to arrive at the cenotes. This allowed us to be alone in every cenote for at least 10 min which was very much appreciated. Along the road Carlos took it upon himself to explain about the villages, culture and nature that we passed by. Carlos also answered all of our questions in detail.

The most magical experience of my life - Having our own private tour was fantastic, our driver was so knowledgeable (we requested English speaking) ad I learnt so much about the area , and of course the cenotes . When your 16 yr old gets the camera out you know you are somewhere special .

Best part of the trip! - This was my favorite part of the trip!! I loved how easy it was to be picked up directly from our hotel and guided through the locations. Definitely the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen in my life and would love to go back and experience it again one day. 100% recommend!

Santa Barbara - Cenotes mainl accessible via tours, fun tour with a range of Cenotes. Bring goggles or snorkel if not confirmed. Cenotes are beautiful but not allowed to remove lifejacket which is annoying. Great photo opportunities if you bring something to keep your phone in. Also you might get lucky with fish that nibble on your feet to clean them.

Highlight of our time in Yucatan! - My 22 year old daughter and I did the three cenotes here and very much enjoyed seeing the three types of cenotes, swimming in them and eating the food at the end of the day!

Cenotes are amazing! Beautiful place - The cenotes are amazing! Food is delicious! And everything!!! Cenotes and Santa Bárbara are awesome! We will come back for sure!!! However, problems though with transportation and guide (too pushy!) and always asking for a tip though he kept trying to make us do what he wanted at his time (although we had plenty still).... ended up with a headache because of his very loud voice and seemed he thought screaming would make us listen to him ... when we go back we will choose a different agency

Very worthwhile if you enjoy swimming and rustic settings - The three Cuzama Cenotes (at Santa Barbara) were wonderful. I especially appreciated that our guide Freddy decided to pick us up early so we beat the crowds and had the first cenote to ourselves. It was very tranquil and magical. Freddy was very experienced, answered our many questions about the area, had excellent English skills, and kept an eye on our belongings while we swam. The meal at the restaurant by the cenotes (where there are also changing rooms) was hearty and tasty. Overall, a great day trip that I highly recommend!

Animal cruelty - Avoid going, horses are used for traction, animal exploitation tourism. I felt bad throughout the trip, the distance covered was long and the animals were weak.
