2.Magical Cenote and Paradise Lagoon Snorkeling Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 808 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99

“Absolutely brilliant! I was picked up right on time and we went to the cenote. Such a gorgeous place, but be careful if you don't like the dark. On to the lagoon which was stunning, just wish we had more time there. Our guide Hazel, and driver, Jonathan, were a fantastic double act - both very engaging, energetic, and entertaining! They really made the tour unique.”
