Ek Balam and Cenote Express Tour

About this experience

I'm a bilingual, federally licensed guide with over 10 years of experience, offering small group or private tours in my 2025 Toyota HiAce van, which accommodates up to 10 passengers.

We'll start early to explore the archaeological site before the crowds and climb the highest structure. Afterward, we'll be among the first to arrive at a beautiful cenote, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in a peaceful setting. We'll also savor authentic local dishes at a buffet.

Bottled drinking water is provided, and the tour price includes everything—no hidden fees or extra charges.
