Tour description

In this free tour we will visit 3 cenotes in our community by bicycle. Each cenote is different from the other, where only locals know how to get there, we will swim and explore with our snorkel masks these amazing limestone formations with their crystal clear waters, the objective of this tour is to show you local and non-commercial places in the Riviera Maya . On this tour guided by a local native, you will feel like a local person.
Considered by the ancient Mayans as sacred places, cenotes are now one of the main attractions in the Riviera Maya, our bicycle tour will take you to 3 truly local cenotes, each one different from the other so that you can discover the variety of each one.
There are many cenotes in the area that you can visit on your own but there is nothing better than a local person who knows the area to show and teach you the surroundings. 

The distances from one cenote to another are approximately 10 minutes by bicycle, a very light activity for anyone (children from 12 years old only, and adults maximum 65 years old).

(The bicycles have an additional cost of $300 Mexican pesos for each one, around $19 usd, or around $17 EUROS, CASH ONLY).
The rest of the equipment and tickets are provided by us: snorkel masks, life jackets (optional), wateproof flashlights and guide service.

THIS TOUR IS DONE WITH OUR BIKES, NOT WITH YOURS, NO WITH YOUR SCOOTER, OR WITH YOUR ATVS.

We are located about 30 minutes from tulum downtown and about 50 minutes from playa del Carmen downtown, if you don't have a car you can take the colectivos from playa del Carmen downtown on the street 1 south between 45 and 50 avenue north and from tulum across the ADO bus station in downtown, (colectivos public transportation).

The tour is conducted in Spanish and English.
If you don't see availabilities on the day that you would like to do the tour, let me know so I can check.

It is recommended to bring water shoes or sandals, towels, hat or cap, and aquatic camera if you have some.
(THIS TOUR IS BASED ON LEAVING TIPS FOR YOUR GUIDE, PLEASE BRING EXTRA CASH).

El tour con Gilmer fue de las mejores experiencias que vivimos en nuestro viaje a México. Gilmer es local del pueblo de Chemuyil y conoce muy bien la zona, su historia y los mejores cenotes alejados de grupos tumultuosos de turistas. Además de ser un gran guía es mejor profesor, te enseñará como hacer apnea para que puedas disfrutar aún más de la visita. Recomendamos este tour a todo aquel quiera vivir una experiencia mas privada, intima y única, alejada de tours multitudinarios.

È stata davvero un'esperienza fantastica! Esplorare cenotes che conoscono solo i locali e quindi non sono molto affollati, con la guida esperta di Gilmour che ci ha incoraggiante a provare anche a scendere sott'acqua per poi riemergere in meravigliose grotte con fossili, stalattiti e stalagmiti. Ed anche muoversi in bicicletta permette di accorciare le distanze ma allo stesso tempo godersi il paesaggio. Se passate da Tulum non ve lo perdete!!! Quando è permesso organizza anche tour per vedere le tartarughe marine.

The bicycle tour to visit three cenotes with Gilmer was really an amazing experience. First, we had the opportunity to discover Chimuyil, . Then, we learned how to use paddle brake bicycles, and thanks to Gilmer, it was really easy. Then we had this beautiful tour, learning about the area, its geology, swimming and diving in three different cenotes with safety first in mind. Thank you Gilmer for this great experience!

We LOVED our cenote bike tour with Gil! He was super friendly and we felt very safe with him. There’s only a small amount of cycling and then we went to three different local cenotes. At two of them we were the only people there and were able to dive through caves and into air pockets, such a cool experience and we were very well-guided by Gil. The water was so blue. Off the beaten track and far more authentic an experience than other organized tours in the area. Would thoroughly recommend. Thanks again Gil!
