Rio Secreto and Coba Tour

Refreshing cave and ruin climb

Had an amazing time. Jorge our tour guide was amazing. His knowledge of the areas was vast and he was beyond helpful. Keep in mind this tour is a little bit of a workout. Would definitely recommend going

Fun experience

Rio Secreto was amazing. Really cool experience. Jen was a great guide. Transportation was great. Would have liked a better idea of pickup. Everything said 7;30 but they showed up at 7 and we didn’t have a chance to eat breakfast.

Great trip to Coba and Rio Secreto on May 18th, 2026!

Hello. We booked our Coba and Rio Secreto tour through our Amstar Rep., Omar, who was at the Barcelo Maya Colonial. Omar was great, got us a good price, and set it for Monday May 18th. They were on time to pick us up with a minor glitch but we went to Rio Secreto fist. Our guide was Aaron and he was fantastic. This was my first time going to RS and Aaron gave us great direction, safety issues, and helped anyone who needed any extra help. My wife and I are at the 70 mark so she and another lady close to our age needed some extra safety support. Safety was a key for Aaron which we all appreciated. For all newcomers there, they provide lockers (you carry the key around your neck), towels, wet suits, and water shoes. You do NOT have to wear the wet suit if you choose not to, and, you can bring your own wet shoes if you choose. Plus, they provide a lamp helmet for underground. Caution, a lot of the ground in the water cave is uneven so you have to drag your feet and pay close attention to drop offs. Our guide was on top of everything telling us ever facet during the underground water tour. We were underground for maybe 45 min and when changed into dry clothes, we had a very nice 30 min. break at a covered buffet lunch there. Our driver to Coba was Louis who was fun to talk to and he had a great sense of humor. Took us maybe an hour plus to get to Coba. This was my 3rd trip to Coba in less than 20 years and had two other guides who were good. Aaron was the best I've seen so far. I had climbed the ruins twice but this year I did not, as well as my wife. Just too dangerous at our age, but we had a great time talking to Aaron our guide, other folks. Aaron stayed with us the entire time and gave us great overviews of the smaller ruins on the return bike ride back to the ruins entrance. BTW, bikes come with the tour so you need to be able to go the distance which is about 15 minutes riding in the jungle to get to the main ruins. My wife did not want to ride a bike so we hired a driver, Jose, for about $13.00 plus tips, to drive us on a 2-seat tricycle. We had ample time to enjoy the ruins, spend a few min. in the gift shop, restrooms, etc.; they gave us bottle water, most important, you were allowed to bring your own water into the park comparted to the very intrusive policies present to visit Tulum (we were there in Sept. 2025), where they do not allow you bring any type of plastic water into the park there. Coba is much more relaxed Overall, Coba was the better excursion for us and we did enjoy Rio Secreto. I doubt we would return to RS but we got it off our bucket list. I doubt I would get tired of Coba, very rich in history and.....sometimes you see wildlife in the jungle. This trip we did not. Once again, we were very thankful to our Amstar Rep. at Barcelo Maya Colonial, Omar, our Guide, Aaron, and our driver - Louis. We hope you visit Coba and Rio Secreto in the future! Mr. and Mrs. K.
