Imagine being in a place with complete darkness, where your eyes will never adjust and the only light that exists is that of your flashlight. A place where silence is such that if you stand still for a moment the only sounds you will hear are your breathing and the drops of water that fall sporadically from the stalactites. Secret River (or Pool Tunich in Maya) is a set of galleries and underground rivers formed from rock erosion. The grotto fabric is the longest of its kind (not flooded) in the entire Yucatan Peninsula. Among the cenotes that can be found in Yucatan, Río Secreto stands out and is called "Crystal Museum", since it has no true relationship with the other underground caves that can be visited in the state, being this rich in natural crystal formations and discovered less than 10 years ago. Definitely an underground natural paradise near Tulum!

Great experience but hotel pick up a disaster
My two teenage daughters and I booked this trip. The Rio Secreto experience was excellent. Our guide was very funny and informative and made the experience very enjoyable - i would highly recommend this trip for children older then 10. However our Hotel pick up was a disaster. The exact pick up point was not made clear on their communication and there fore we missed the transportation and had to pay for a taxi which added a lot more money onto the trip. All in all...great experience but beware of instructions for pick up point and clarify if not not sure.
Response from the operator: Hello Jagruti. Thank you so much for giving us your review. We are sorry that you have lost the transportation. We will improve our communication in future bookings so that the information is clearer and there is no confusion for pickups. On the other hand we are so happy that you and your daughters enjoy the tour and learn a lot about the natural wonders of our country. We hope in your next visit to the Mexican caribbean we have the opportunity to give you a better experience in another adventure through the Riviera Maya.

Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included. cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included. take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included.?
+
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 Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included.?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover a secret river in middle of the Jungle. Buffet included. 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 Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote. 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.
