About this experience
Looking for the Tulum that time forgot? Escape the crowds for a spiritual immersion in the Mayan jungle. Access the "Moon Sanctuary," a private cenote where time stands still. Here, water is sacred: a "Mirror of Contemplation" preserved for peace, not for swimming. The Journey: 1. The Cleansing: Ancestral Copal ritual led by a local Shaman to open your spirit. 2. The Contemplation: Witness the surreal beauty of the virgin cenote from sustainable paths. Perfect for meditation and exclusive photos. 3. The Seawater Tasting: Enjoy the world’s only beer brewed with seawater, paired with the stillness of the jungle. We host only a few visitors per day to preserve this sanctuary. Secure your spot for this unique reconnection experience in Tulum.

Excellent private tour and tasting
The Tulum Brewery was a wonderful stop during our trip. We took the tour of the brewery which can be booked online in advance. 1000+/10 would recommend. We learned a great deal and Iran was a fabulous guide. We had so much fun with him learning about the brewery, about beer and getting to know him. One of our top Tulum stops! After the tour we stayed for lunch which was absolutely delicious.

Tulum beer
Iran Garcia and Evo were very friendly and chatty. I would recommend it for everyone who likes beer!

Educational
There's a very impressive operation here. They filter sea water on site through reverse osmosis to make the beer. The guide (Ivo) was very knowledgeable

Out of 10!
Giuliana recommended the tour, I didn't know what to expect, so I got carried away and what a surprise! From the tour, the characters, the warmth and the show I found fantastic. I'll share some pictures. I recommend going for a meeting with friends or family, it is the ideal place 💛 Alex, they will go and Ivan And the Aluxe that was scaring me 👍🏻

Great beer experience
We had a wonderful brewery tour and beer tasting here last week. Only a couple of people in our group are beer enthusiasts but we all really enjoyed our tour and all the different beers that we sampled. I just wish it was available to take back home with me. I haven't had beer like it before and I wish I could share it more widely, especially with their focus on sustainability.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting?
+
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 Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting?
+
Around 3 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tulum Private Cenote, Mayan Shaman Ritual & Seawater Beer Tasting 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. 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 Tulum?
+
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 Tulum?
+
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.
