This was one of the stops on our way to Chichen Itza. We stayed there for an hour but was only able to swim for less than 15 minutes. We had to get changed, shower and put on life jackets before we could get in. Not to mention we took photos with the Mayan who were performing rituals near the entrance to the cenote. Also, we had to get lockers for our stuff. We should have never brought them all with us and left them in the bus. It is understandable because it was our first time and we did not know any better. Overall, it was a very amazing experience.
The tour guide (Eloy) did the best to try and save a poorly organized trip. The Habiku Cenote was wonderful. Many things were a mess and the advertisement and agency were very deceiving about the event.
It's disappointing to hear that your experience on the tour to Ik Kil & Hubiku Cenotes and Chichen Itza didn't meet your expectations due to poor organization. However, it's commendable that your tour guide, Eloy, made efforts to improve the situation and ensure you had a positive experience. It's understandable that discrepancies between the advertised experience and the actual event can be frustrating. Clear communication and accurate representation of the tour details are essential for a satisfactory experience. Despite the challenges faced, it's good to know that you found the Hubiku Cenote to be wonderful, providing a positive aspect to your day. Your feedback is valuable and helps highlight areas for improvement. Hopefully, future experiences will be better organized and more aligned with expectations. Thank you for sharing your review.
Very special experience and well organised. Recommended! (You can also visit the cenote on your own, for example after visiting Chichén Itzá.)
