Description of Tankah Cenote Park Private Tour

The Tankah Cenote Park Private Tour offers an immersive adventure through four pristine cenotes combined with jungle activities like zip-lining and canoeing—all in a single day away from crowded tourist cenotes. This Tankah private tour is designed for travelers seeking an authentic connection with the Yucatan’s natural water systems and Maya heritage through active exploration rather than passive sightseeing.

As a family-owned local agency operating in the Riviera Maya since 1994, Carey Tours specializes in private experiences with certified guides who provide cenote geological knowledge and Maya cultural context.

Tankah Cenote Park, located near Tulum, features four distinct cenotes connected by jungle paths and underground water channels. Unlike commercial single-cenote tours, this Tankah tour lets you experience the diversity of cenote types—from open pools to enclosed caverns—while participating in activities that blend adventure with natural discovery.

Your day at Tankah includes swimming through crystal-clear cenote waters, zip-lining over jungle canopy with aerial views of the cenotes below, and canoeing across turquoise waters surrounded by vegetation. The experience concludes with an authentic Yucatan lunch prepared by a local Maya community, connecting you with traditional flavors and cultural practices. 

The tour includes private round-trip transportation, all park admission fees, equipment for activities, and the flexibility to adjust pacing based on your group’s adventure comfort level. Ideal for active families, friend groups, couples seeking adventure, and anyone wanting a comprehensive Tankah cenote park experience that balances physical activity with natural beauty and cultural immersion.
