A guide helps you navigate the mostly waist-high waters as you wade and swim through Rio Secreto (Secret River), an ancient underground river that winds past limestone and other sparkling stone formations. Expect round-trip transportation from Cancun and Playa del Carmen, and a tasty buffet lunch once you finish your journey, topped off with a tasting of a classic Mayan liqueur known as Xtabentún.

Useful info
- It’s an experience unlike any others in Cancun. It takes you beyond the nightlife and pool parties for a truly magical adventure. It’s one of the must-do things in Cancun.
- Ecological preservation matters to us. Our guides work directly with Rio Secreto, which is a Mexican-owned organization dedicated to the protection, preservation, and education of the geological formations you get to see. We respect the land while having fun.
- There’s time to reflect . We make sure there’s time to appreciate the beauty around you with a meditation, a Mayan blessing ritual, and free time to swing in a hammock.
- The lunch buffet is fresh (and vegan-friendly). More natural wonders await in the form of traditional Mayan dishes, and a complimentary tasting of Xtabentún (anise and honey liqueur).
- Safety is important to us. On our tours, we want travelers to relax and have fun knowing that we are following strict Covid, safety, and ecotourism guidelines. If we have to change our itinerary for any reason, we will communicate that to you in advance.
