Rio Secreto trades open-water blue for stalactites, underground rivers and small guided groups. It suits travellers who want the Yucatan below ground without an adventure-park schedule.

Private tour from Cancun to Tulum ruins and Kantun Chi cenotes with hotel pickup, buffet lunch, and cave adventure gear.

“Beautiful caves, there is a part where you have to swim so don't be fooled into thinking you can walk through the entire thing. I can't swim and though I had a life jacket that helps you float across, I kind of freaked out a bit and almost lost it. The guide saved me. Not anyone's fault at all but mine. Probably wasn't the best tour for me but I had a good time. Learned a lot of history at the Tulum tour and enjoyed the lunch very much.”

Rio Secreto near Playa del Carmen combines underground river caves, jungle biking, a rappel to Xibalbá, and 3 ziplines for $109.

“De grotten zelf waren wel het leukste. Je moest echter wel in een rij lopen wat het exploreren element er wel uithaalde. Het voelde gehaast. Zipline en rapel zijn niet benoemd waard als je al eerder ergens iets in die richting heb gedaan of nog extremer. Fietsen was ook niet bijzonder.”
