Frequently Asked Questions

Useful information and answers for our visitors.

What is the minimum age for being able to participate?

Four years old.

Do minors have to be accompanied by an adult?

Yes, they must be accompanied by an adult. Even though we have a tour guide, an adult must be personally responsible for any minors. However, if you wish to have a tour with a group of children, there can be a ratio of five children for every adult.

Do you sell videos taken of each tour group?

We do not sell videos, but we do take photographs of your tour. You can purchase these photos individually and we also sell CDs featuring many photos of your expedition including a few classic pictures of the nature reserve.

Can I take a camera with me on the tour?

In order to protect the safety of individuals, the group and the cave, you are not allowed to bring photography or video equipment into the caves, since you can slip or damage a natural structure while inside. However, you may use them outside the cave.

During the expedition, we have professional photographic equipment and lighting inside the cave, which allows us to safely capture your adventure on film and deliver high quality photographs. Common cameras are barely able to generate a bright enough flash inside Río Secreto and they are unable to capture and illuminate the beauty and scope of the entire cave.

Are there lockers available?

Yes, we have lockers with keys, available to you at no extra cost.

Can pregnant women participate in the tours ⁄ programs?

Since this tour takes place inside caverns, the path is windy and the ground is hard limestone rock that can be a little slippery in some areas. Although it is not high impact, risky or arduous, for the safety of individual visitors as well as the group, we do not recommend the tour for pregnant women, nor for persons with claustrophobia, heart problems, difficulty walking.

Is there a route that does not have stairs or one that suits people who have difficulty walking? No. Our goal is to leave the cave untouched and preserved in its natural state. The tour’s only path winds through rocky, natural formations.

How thick is the wetsuit?

It is 2.5 to 3 millimeters thick.

If I don’t know how to swim, can I still take the tour?

It is not required that you know how to swim. You only need to know how to float. The in-water portion of the tour is very brief and shallow. In addition, you will be aided by your life jacket and wetsuit, which help you stay afloat.

What is the temperature of the water?

The water is cool, with a temperature of 22º C to 24º C, or 69º F to 75º F. However, our visitors wear neoprene wetsuits and life vests to keep them comfortable and help mitigate the brisk water temperature.

What does the tour consist of?

This is a one-of-a-kind, guided cave tour that includes a combination of walking and swimming.

What happens if I want to go on the tour, but I have a child that is younger than the age in which they’re allowed to participate? Do you have someone who can take care of children who are too young to take the tour?

In these cases, please ask Río Secreto in advance if there is someone who can care for your children, specifying the date and time in which the babysitter will be needed, this service has an additional cost.

Isn’t the cost of the tour a little high, considering the amount of time that you’re in the cave?

For the cost of the tour, you are given exclusive access to a scientific wonder and lead by expert guides who happily share their knowledge of the area. You will use high-quality equipment and follow well-maintained paths to allow for optimum safety and enjoyment. Our technically advanced photography system will take photos of you as you make your way through this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Rest assured, the cost includes many things to make your tour memorable and the amount of time you spend in the cave will absolutely fulfill your expectations.

Is the cost of transportation very high?

$109 USD includes the Río Secreto tour and transportation from Riviera Maya, but you can also get there on your own by taking public transportation and paying the admission fee of $79 USD . See the instructions, How do I get to Río Secreto?

Should I arrive ahead of time for my tour?

Yes, we recommend that you arrive at the nature reserve ticket office at least 20 minutes before the time your tour starts.

Should I bring money for extra expenses?

Really, there are no additional expenses inside the reserve. However, we recommend that you take along some cash for purchasing souvenirs, photographs and/or for tipping the guides.

Do I need to bring sun protection?

The tour takes place in the shade since you are inside the cave almost the entire time, so you are not really exposed to the sun. We also ask all visitors to take a quick shower before going into the cave in order to eliminate possible toxins – like lotions, makeup and hair gel – that could pollute the cave and harm its delicate ecosystem.

How do I know what services are included and not included in my tour?

To see what’s included, please visit the pages for the type of tour you prefer:

  • Admission fee only

Visiting Chichen Itza offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Mayan civilization, with intricately carved structures and a rich history to explore. Additionally, the nearby cenotes and local cuisine add to the overall experience. The tour guys are friendly and welcoming, iced drinks are provided all along the way, as the weather is very hot.

  • 457laurelf 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL RACIST HOST, A SCAM, AVOID!!! We are four English-speaking Asian girls, we do not speak any Spanish. The Chichen Itza, two cenotes itself are very beautiful spots, but the entire travel arrangement experience was absolutely terrible. Firstly, We got picked up at 7am, we were directly sent to a Mexican Outlet to “check in”, they gave you coupons to shop, it was almost like a forced shopping experience at the start of the day. Secondly, for some reason they did not ask us what language we speak or prefer (we bought the English tour on Viator), the staff just wrote “China” behind our names and put us in a full coach of Latino passengers and the entire tour was only in Spanish. There were a male and a female tour guide, the girl was nice to us when we ask her questions she would answer. However, the male tour guide was EXTREMELY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL to us. At some moments during the three hours ride, we fell asleep, took a nap, which I believe is incredibly reasonable. But the tour guide got angry at us and saying we do not listen to him, but he was not delivering a bilingual speech, it was 99% of the time Spanish. When we got off the coach, asked him to give us a brief explanation of chichen itza related information, he refused to tell us, saying because we fell asleep in our first ride, so there’s no reason to say things in English, yet, we were all awake for the whole remaining ride and was confused by only Spanish speaking explanations he was giving. Thirdly, we spent over 13 hours on this trip, but only 40 minute in the Suytun Cenote, 1 hour in Chichen Itza, 30 minutes in the Ik kil Cenote, 15 minute in the Valldolid town. Why? Because he tried to sell us some “magic stones” on the coach like the image attached (and that was the time he would mention some English words), and he also took us to some “Shaman ceremony” that was not included in the itinerary and forced us to stay in a shop that sells artifacts and chocolate for an hour before lunch. It’s in the middle of nowhere, we literally cannot go anywhere else. It was very uncomfortable. Fourthly, the whole tour group were a little 5-15 minutes behind schedule at all four destinations. We were 10 minutes late to return to the bus at Chichen Itza because we had to use our own English guide and find our ways back to the bus. Three of us got a little lost on the way, but still managed to get back. One of us was already with the tour guide, but the tour guide literally just left the three of us at Chichen Itza and drove away, regardless one of us told the guide we are coming. The tour guide was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND CONDESCENDING, he did not put into any effort into helping us get back, and literally LEAD THE WHOLE COACH to “boo” us when we got back (wt*??) We are only four tourists in a foreign country, it was not what we signed up for. What’s more, even though we told him we speak fluent English, we live in New York. He still used his microphone on the coach whenever we reach a new place “Time to get up China ladies” and just called us “China” the whole time. We found it very rude and racist. In general, we suggest you DEFINITELY go visit Chichen Itza and the cenotes, BUT DO NOT GO WITH THIS TRIP!!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID Read more Written March 13, 2024

  • Eileen G 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great trip to see the Cenotes & Chichenitza The guide Eduardo and the driver were great. Was able to see both Cenotes and Chichenitza had a wonderful visit. The beginning of the tour was a little inefficient when we were checking in. The refreshments were plentiful and we enjoyed the lunch stop. I needed more free time at Chichenitza to see the site. Read more Written February 22, 2024
  • arvindsL8867XQ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Worth it We had a great time at the Chichen itza and the cenotes. The weather was bad and it was a downpour. we didn't get off the van for the Valladolid tour. The tour guide spoke sufficient English to get by. We weren't expecting a stop at a Mayan village for lunch and it was decent. overall, A good experience if you're planning to take a break from driving or traveling on your own.
