This is the cenote where we will do the tour. You will receive a small introduction to standup paddleboarding and join us to explore the cenote on our boards. There are a few great snorkel spot where you will enter the water and marvel at the beauty under water. On two occasions you will be able to actually enter the mangroves and enter a world you’ve never seen before. If we’re lucky we will be able to spot Pancho the crocodile who made the cenote her home. Not to worry, she’s used to all the attention that she gets.

Highlight of our trip - We combined the SUP Cenote tour with at Tulum and snorkelling trip and the whole day was just amazing! We were collected from our hotel by Joel and Tania in a very comfortable minivan and taken to Tulum for a private tour by Tania who was very knowledgeable and took us to all the best photo spots. Meanwhile Joel took our snorkelling gear to the meeting point (thanks for carrying our kit Joel!) and we joined our snorkelling boat (after a little bit of welcome rest time on the beach). There were loads of rays to see while snorkelling which was lovely. Lunch was at a local taco restaurant with traditional tacos which were yummy! We then headed the short distance to Casa Cenote for our SUP and snorkelling tour. This was just truly amazing! Tania took us to some great freediving spots and we spend ages exploring and having fun freediving. This was a highlight of our whole trip to Mexico and thats a big deal as we had lots of highlights! Could not recommend this trip enough. As a side, we also hired some paddleboards at the beach from Aloha and Ilse was fab too! Thanks so much to the whole team for an amazing experience from start to finish.

Simply a must do!!! - Had a great time with the team from Aloha Paddle Club. Sander and his team are top notch! Our paddleboard tour of Casa Cenote and Laguna Kaan Luum was truly amazing and a must do while in Playa. Two very different locations for paddling and both worth the visit. Don't forget the besy Mohito's ever in Tulum with real sugarcane sugar and a stalk of sugarcane for good measure!

Highlight of our trip to Playa Del Carmen ! - Everything was incredibly smooth from our initial communication with Sander @Aloha. We were looking to book the SUP Cenote & Lagoon Tour, but because of the strong winds, they recommended a different cave cenote. WoW is the only word that come to mind ! Our guide Alberto was amazing... going at our pace, sharing so much information, answering ALL of my daughter's many questions :) Our tour was memorable from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience - We are very pleased that we chose this excursion. Sander kept me informed about the activity and pickup. Tania and Anna were GREAT hosts. We enjoyed their company. I especially appreciated Tania's patience with us as we navigated the cenote. The taco stop was a nice break from resort food.

Super snorkel/paddleboard cenote tour! - Our whole group had a fabulous time. Our guides were the perfect combination of professional and fun- everything went smoothly with time, equipment, etc., but the best part was that it felt like hanging out having an adventure with friends. The tacos were also excellent!

10/10 High Recommend - I booked this private tour to kick off my 30th birthday and couldn't have been happier with my decision! Sander was incredibly patient and helpful while teaching my friend and me the basics of paddleboarding and making sure we had the most beautiful experience. The cenote and mangroves were incredibly beautiful and Sander was kind enough to offer great advice regarding the rest of our stay in Tulum/Cancun.

Beautiful Adventure - My couple and I wanted to learn paddleboarding but the sea was too rough. Sander recommended us doing the cenote paddleboard tour. We had a private van taking us there. The cenote was the highlight of our trip. Sander is a very knowledgeable instructor, and even gave some of us brave enough some freedive lessons. Tacos on the way back were yummy. We couldn't have wished for a better day

Best experience! - Amazing time with this company. We knew them from their paddleboarding club and saw they did tours as well. We booked this private tour to Casa Cenote and were not disappointed. The cenote was beautiful and our guides made it an unforgettable experience. We need to try the lagoon tour next :)

Excellence Experience - We had the best time ever with Lucas and Nacho visiting this amazing cenote. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We went early and had the cenote all to ourselves. They gave us some great tips (we already knew how to paddleboard) and the snorkeling was something else. Tacos were a very nice bonus!!
