A full guide & review of "Xenotes Enigmatic Water Tours" (formerly Xenotes Oasis Maya) near Cancun and the Riviera Maya.
About Xenotes Enigmatic Water Tours:
Enigmatic Water Tours, formerly known as Xenotes Oasis Maya, is a tour located near Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. Xenotes is a tour that takes you to 4 different cenotes. A cenote is a fresh water sinkhole created when a cave’s ceiling collapses after thousands of years. In addition to experiencing the natural beauty of these 4 cenotes, you also get to take part in activities like snorkelling, zip lining, rapelling, kayaking, and cliff jumping.
Xenotes is a popular excursion for tourists visiting the Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya, or Tulum areas of Mexico. Xenotes is owned by parent company Grupo Xcaret, which operates several tours and parks in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo.
We had an amazing time at Xenotes. It's a great tour for everyone, including families with kids, couples, or groups of friends. I made this video to show you what to expect, and also give you some tips to help you get the most out of your visit.
If you have any questions about Xenotes Enigmatic Water Tours by Xcaret, leave a comment below and I'll respond. We highly recommend Xenotes, it's beautiful and a lot of fun!!

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored video. I paid for my own flight & tickets to Xenotes. I use referral links, which allows me to receive a small commission from Xenotes when you buy a ticket. This does NOT cost you anything extra, and it does NOT impact my opinion of the tour. If you choose to use my referral link, not only are you buying tickets from the official website, but you're also getting the cheapest price from a trusted source. You're also helping me, because it took lots of time to record & edit this video. If you don't want to use my links but found my video helpful, then a like and comment would be appreciated :)

Could you please tell me how do you get out of the cave xenote Tierra? Do they have to pull you out with cables like the way you go in?

@TulumToCancun 4 года назад

arousss There is a walkway to exit that cenote. The rappel rope is only for getting into the cave.

@MultiScrappydo 5 лет назад

How did this tour compare with the Xplor tour you took? Also if you had to choose one between Xplore, Xplor Fuego, and the Cenotes, which would you choose? Thanks! Great video and tips!

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

The main draw of Xenotes was the natural beauty of the cenotes and exploring them. Xplor on the other hand was all about fun and excitement. They're different and have their own charm, in fact we visited Xplor & Xenotes on the same trip and loved both, but if I HAD to pick one, it would be Xplor for sure. Thanks for watching!

@tscrain8277 4 года назад

We were at Xpor Fuego a couple of years ago. VERY fun!, LOTS of climbing stairs. (Up to zipline towers) but it was AWESOME! We're looking for something we haven't done before. I think we're going to Xenotes this summer.

@dobentiapon8481 4 года назад

Hi great videos which are the best two excursions Xenotes, Xplor, Xel-ha or Xenses thanks

@TulumToCancun 4 года назад

doben tiapon Theyre all great in their own way, so it depends on what you’re looking for. I liked Xplor for the action & excitement and Xenotes for nature. Xel-Ha was a nice mix of nature + laid back fun. I can’t decide on just 2, so those are my top 3.

@efw.x 6 лет назад

Out of Xenote & Xplor which one would you recommend more? Having my first visit to Mexico, Cancun in November & would love to go on one of these trips ! If you could help that'd be great! Thanks :)

@TulumToCancun 6 лет назад

Emily Waterfield It depends on what you want. Xplor is all about the action, whereas the main draw of xenotes is the natural beauty. Xenotes was relaxing and interesting, whereas xplor was just a day of pure action and excitement. We loved both equally, but for different reasons. So it all depends on what you prefer. Either way you can't go wrong.

@efw.x 6 лет назад

sina92 Thankyou for your reply :)! I think we're going to go for Xplor for the action ! Thanks again :)!

@amy13lee69 4 года назад

I know you said this was an all day tour, how is the whole thing and how long to you spend at each attraction?

@TulumToCancun 4 года назад

I can't remember exact timelines because I wasn't keeping track, but I think we spent about an hour at each cenote, had a lunch break in between, and spent about 20-40 minutes driving between each cenote.

@keniahernandez-ps2ut 5 лет назад

I have a question. How long was your stay at each cenote?

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

I can't remember exactly because wasn't keeping track, and it depends on the cenote, but usually about an hour at each. It never felt rushed.

@Jmoney512 6 лет назад

you mentioned that they picked you up in the morning, was this from the hotel you stayed at in Cancun?

@TulumToCancun 6 лет назад

Yes, they picked us up from our resort/hotel which was closer to Playa Del Carmen than Cancun. When buying my tickets on their site, I just selected my resort from a list.

@vlf0429 3 года назад

@@TulumToCancun what if your hotel is not on the list

@TulumToCancun 3 года назад

@@vlf0429 Good question, I never had that problem. Maybe you could select the nearest hotel and meet there at the pickup, but I'd suggest contacting their customer support to see what their process is.

Do they have a weight limit on the zip lines?

@TulumToCancun 6 лет назад

I'm not too sure, I couldn't find it on the Xenotes website, but someone in my Xplor video mentioned that their weight limit is 300lbs, so I would guess it's about the same. If you want to check for sure, go to the site and use the live chat. Their customer service is really helpful.

@Megan-yd5yj 4 года назад

Do you know the max amount of people allowed per tour?

@TulumToCancun 4 года назад

Each individual tour group had about 10 people max. I believe you can book a larger group if you want, because I saw one or two large family groups as well.

@cammiedeboard3299 5 лет назад

Excellent video! 2 questions: #1 how many spiders did you encounter? #2 what type of shoes do you recommend? Thanks for such a useful video.

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

Cammie Deboard Thanks! No spiders, trust me I’d remember 😁, and any kind of water shoes will do. I bought the cheapest pair I could find in Wal-Mart and they were fine.

@cammiedeboard3299 5 лет назад

Did you purchase the $9.28/per person insurance they offer when checking out on the Xenotes ticket link you provided? We bought accidental insurance through Expeidia for our trip.

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

Cammie Deboard No, I didn’t bother with the insurance since I had my own. If you already have similar coverage then I’d skip it.

@linovargas4329 8 месяцев назад

Can you visit xenotes without having to get into the water?

@TulumToCancun 8 месяцев назад

Yea you can follow the group along in every cenote without having to get into the water, you may be missing out on the fun, but it’s possible.

@ywu37 6 лет назад

How long does this trip take?

@TulumToCancun 6 лет назад

Rita Wu about 6-7 hours including transit, so it depends on where your hotel/resort is.

@crippledcrippled 5 лет назад

Do they allow cell phones/gopros??

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

Yes they allow both. Just make sure you have a way to carry them with you in and out of the water, makes it easier.

@vasukiran4192 5 лет назад

Is it safe for non swimmers? Are the life jackets strong enough to float if we don’t know swimming?

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

The life jackets are strong enough for the average person and they have lifeguards, so as far as safety goes, I think you'll be fine. My wife doesn't know how to swim very well and she had a blast. As for your own comfort/confidence, as long as you can move around once you're in the water, I think you'll be fine, maybe avoid high jumps or deep dives just to be extra safe.

@pappudeb 2 года назад

I am terrible at swiming. Is my experience going to be limited in cenotes?

@TulumToCancun 2 года назад

In my opinion, your comfort and confidence in the water is more important than swimming skills. I visited the cenotes with someone who can’t swim, and they everything I did because they felt comfortable with a life jacket. That’s just my opinion and experience, I hope that info helps you decide for yourself.

@vincetorres8394 Год назад

Is this something that you feel would be accessible for people in their 60s?

@TulumToCancun Год назад

The ride to the cenotes is bumpy and most cenotes feature optional jumps. If those don’t sound like a problem for you, then I think it’s accessible and you can have a great time enjoying the scenery and swimming.

@algernonca 4 года назад

Is the water cold??

@TulumToCancun 4 года назад

Its cool but comfortable, you get used to it quickly.

@rockstarawesome98765 Год назад

Is there any animals in the water? Alligators? Snakes?

@TulumToCancun Год назад

No animals in the water, there’s just one cenote that has some small fish in the water which is the one where you can go snorkelling. Otherwise nothing else to worry about 😀

@lifewithsteph6306 5 лет назад

How much did you pay

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

I can't remember exactly, because I got a discount for booking early, but it was about $100 USD per person. Totally worth it.

@lifewithsteph6306 5 лет назад

sina92 oh okay I was just curious I went last week and I paid $108. Yes it was certainly worth it.

@sofiyanorahpearson4574 6 лет назад

Would you get a life jacket?????????

@TulumToCancun 6 лет назад

sofya Norah Pearson vlogs Yes they give you life jackets, and they have life guards at every cenote. You’ll be fine :)

@TulumToCancun 5 лет назад

Dee Bell Life jackets are included at every cenote.

@natasciastanley5820 3 года назад

Unfortunately i cant swin or else i wud definitely do this smh

@James_Edward59 3 дня назад

You don’t need to be able to swim, you wear a life vest so as long as you can remain calm in the water and just doggy paddle, you will be fine.

@cr0cop738 6 лет назад

Can I take my 4 year old?

@TulumToCancun 6 лет назад

According to their site, the minimum recommended age is 6, but when we went they didn't check the age of the kids in our group. If your kid swims well, then you might be okay, otherwise I'd recommend Xplor instead.
