1.Cancun/Playa del Carmen: Tickets to Rio Secreto and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 521 reviews · 3.5 - 6.5 hours · from $89Our pick

Swim and wander 600 meters of underground rivers and caves in Rio Secreto, then enjoy local lunch. Small groups, safety gear, no cameras.

“Incredible cave tour—one of the best we’ve done! Crystal-clear water, stunning formations, and a magical atmosphere. There are five routes, so if you return, mention which one you’ve done. Wetsuits are optional but recommended—the water’s cold and you’re in it a while. Life jackets are mandatory, and deep spots plus uneven cave floors can be tricky if you’re not confident in water. A highlight was when the guide switched off all lights and led a short meditation in complete darkness—hip-deep in water, it felt otherworldly. She then sang a song, adding to the surreal moment. No personal cameras allowed; their photo package is pricey but high quality. Lunch afterward was…”

“Overall a great experience! Victor our guide was great! He led us through the underground river secreto and was very informative regarding the rock formations and the ecosystem in general in Río Secreto. Would say that the transportation communication for pick up was lacking. You have to call or email them to arrange the pick up even if you select the pick up option on viator. Even then, if you have a Monday tour, I never got communication on Sunday even after attempting to call and text different numbers they provided. I had to reach to viator customer service for them to then reach out to the provider, who then…”

“We got lucky with our tour guide. I can’t remember how to spell her name.. Manitel I think, but she was amazing! She was hilarious and made it special. We all had a great time on this small, intimate tour. I like that they keep the tours to about 10 people. There are several routes within the caves. We did “Enchanted” and loved it. It was also very cool to learn the history and the spiritual component of the caves and the meaning to the Mayans. Highly recommend!”

7.Rio Secreto Natural Reserve Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · from $89

Swim Río Secreto’s underground river with million-year stalactites, choose Classic/Plus/Wild, and get lunch plus gear.

“The tour is extremely commercialized. It felt like being a photo model. You were constantly being told to stand in certain positions so that the photographer could take pictures of everyone. That took up a lot of time. At the end, you could buy the photos for $135. It would have been nicer to see more of the cave and have more time for explanations.”

I would highly recommend this experience because it really opens your eyes to the beauty of nature and how it is affected by time and how it has impacted humans. It is also a very pretty experience and a very unique cave exploration.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $189

12-hour Tulum and Río Secreto cave adventure from Playa del Carmen with hotel pickup, included gear, entry fees, and lunch.

“Bound by excitement for a grand adventure, we eagerly anticipated the Rio Secreto and Tulum combo tour, only to be ensnared in a web of misfortune. Betrayed by the company's negligence, we found ourselves imprisoned in the beauty of Rio Secreto, yearning for the distant allure of Tulum. A second day dawned, a grueling pilgrimage to Tulum ensued, each hour of the two-way trek a reminder of lost time, a haunting echo in the corridors of missed opportunities amidst the breathtaking sites.”
