Labnaha Cenotes EcoPark Adventures

We had a really fun afternoon on the Cenotes and Ecopark tour at Labnaha. The activity is split into 2 parts; the ecopark and the cenotes tour. The whole day is pretty much water based. If you have a fear of water, or don’t’ enjoy water; don’t come here.
At the Ecopark there is ziplining, canoeing and a refreshing dip into this gorgeous pond. The canoe ride was really fun, the water was amazing… clear blue, lily pads everywhere, turtles fish. The only issue with the canoe is that there was no guidance about how to canoe. Lol! It took us a while to get the hang of it, then it was over. With a little guidance we may have gotten to explore more. After the canoe they take you to a smaller pond where you can jump off a little cliff, swim or snorkel. I’ve never seen water that green and clear in my life. Really cool. But the water is deep… so again, if you’re not a good swimmer it may be anxiety producing.
After a snack of local fruits and guac, you head out to the cenotes, which are underwater caves. The guide takes you down stairs into a cave that’s about thigh high in water, gives you a lifejacket, scuba light, and goggles and tells you to come with him. I thought the original cave was the entirety of the activity, but actually he takes you through a tunnel of caves that takes about 20 min. Once you leave the original cenote, you’re treading water for the entire tour. The water is deep. Maybe I just didn’t’ know what to expect, but I really think the guide should have explained what was going on more clearly. I was ok b/​c I know how to tread, and I thought the experience was pretty cool, but only 2 out the 4 people in our party actually participated in the cenote tour… they just weren’t as comfortable with water.
Anywhoo, I give them a 4 because it was a unique experience. I would give them 5, but the guidance was a bit lacking. I’m a little conflicted about docking a star because the guide was a lovely young guy from Tulum and I’m all about supporting local business and local guides, BUT it could be a dangerous activity and in this situation a bit more guidance would have been good. All in all, very much recommended.
