Absolutely Beautiful!
We had such a great time on our private tour. We got picked up at 8am from our drive and guide Fren (sorry, I'm not sure how he spells it) he drove us 3.5hrs to Bacalae, stopping whenever needed and always offering us a beverage and checking to see if the A/C was ok. So accommodating and so sweet. His English wasn't the greatest so we didn't get to learn too much but we still really enjoyed ourselves and getting to know our tour guide. We got to make the decisions on how our itinerary went. We decided we wanted to save the best for last so we stopped at Cenote Azul and took a refreshing dive in the deep blue water, then got hungry so we ate lunch right along it. Lunch was included and sooooo good! Then we did a tour of the fort de San Felipe, then went on the boat tour where we went all around the lagoon and it's beautiful colors. Got to see where the birds nest, cenote Esmeralda, and stopped at the pirates canal where we lathered and exfoliated ourselves in the mud/sand. As we thought the tour was over there was one more activity! We went to a park which had large waterslides, beach lounges and a dock to jump off of. We stayed for a bit and enjoyed the sun and the water and decided to head back as we had a long drive home. Our tour guide, Fren (sp?) Was absolutely Perfecto! My husband was saying that, while on the road, when I was sleeping Fren made an extra effort not to wake me by making small slow movements when he would go into the dash and grab a snack to eat and eat slowly as to not make too much noise. Lol I thought that was sweet. Overall such a great experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Daphne, we would like to thank you first of all for your great review of our Bacalar and Cenote Azul Tour. We are happy to read that our guide Efren (just a E more...) have been a great travel companion. We hope to hearing back from you, remaining at your disposal. Best Regards.

Why this scores 58

BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private) cost?
+
Prices start at $394 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private) take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BACALAR & CENOTE AZUL from Riviera Maya and Cancun (Private) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
