2 Days Private Tour in Aguas Rosas and Cenotes

A Two-Day Private Adventure through Cancun’s Cenotes and Aguas Rosas

If you’re dreaming of a getaway that combines stunning natural beauty with a touch of exclusivity, this 2 Days Private Tour in Aguas Rosas and Cenotes might just be your perfect match. Designed for small groups — up to three people — it promises personalized attention and a deep dive into some of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most captivating sights. While it’s not a budget tour, the cost of $700 for the entire group includes transportation, tickets, and lodging, making it a convenient all-in-one package.

What we like most about this experience is the flexibility of a private tour, allowing you to explore at your own pace and enjoy intimate moments at each location. The highlight, undoubtedly, is swimming in the crystalline waters of the cenotes and visiting Aguas Rosas—a unique, pink-hued natural wonder. One potential consideration? The tour spans two full days, so travelers should be prepared for a moderate amount of activity and travel time.

This tour suits travelers who crave a more personal, hands-on experience away from large groups, especially those who love nature, photography, and authentic cultural encounters. If your ideal trip involves exploring hidden gems and enjoying peaceful, scenic moments, this tour offers a wholesome slice of the Yucatán’s natural charm.

The Itinerary Unpacked

Day 1: Cenote Exploration in Tizimin

Your adventure begins with a pickup at your chosen location, which is a real plus for travelers wanting to avoid the hassle of navigating public transport. The journey takes you to Tizimin, a charming city that acts as a gateway to the cenotes. You’ll visit four cenotes — Xpacan, Xweech, Actun, and Kikil. Each offers a slightly different experience: some are more secluded, others with striking rock formations, but all share that unmistakable crystal-clear water that makes cenote swimming a highlight of any Yucatán trip.

We loved the way the tour combines multiple cenotes in one day, giving you variety without feeling rushed. The tickets are included, so there’s no fuss over entrance fees. After your visits, you’ll head to a hotel for rest — a thoughtful touch that helps you recharge for the next day’s adventures.

Day 2: Aguas Rosas and Rio Lagartos

The second day switches gears from underground pools to coastal scenery. The tour starts at the Port of Rio Lagartos, a small fishing village known for its unspoiled nature. From here, a boat takes you to Aguas Rosas, famous for its striking pink waters, which are surprisingly vivid and make for fantastic photos. Expect a gentle boat ride, the chance to do a Mayan bath, and swimming at the local beach.

The Mayan bath is a traditional ritual that adds a spiritual or cultural element to your experience—something that appeals to those interested in authentic regional practices. At the day’s end, a meal at a popular local restaurant completes the trip, giving you a taste of regional cuisine.

The boat tour and the beach time are free with your ticket, and the entire day runs approximately ten hours—long, but packed with memorable sights. It’s worth noting that this is a full, active day, so good footwear and sun protection are advisable.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

One of the most enjoyable aspects of this experience is its personalized nature. Since only your group is involved, you can ask questions freely and move at your own pace. The combination of underground cenotes and coastal waters offers a diverse array of landscapes—perfect for photography, relaxation, or just soaking in nature’s beauty.

The inclusion of lodging simplifies planning, especially for travelers unfamiliar with the area. We also appreciate that the tour is available year-round, weather permitting, making it a flexible option for most schedules.

However, some might find the cost somewhat high compared to larger group tours that skip amenities or lodging. But considering the private setting, personalized service, and all-inclusive features, many will find it a worthwhile expense.

Why Choose This Tour?

This experience is ideal if you value an intimate, curated outing over crowded buses and generic excursions. It’s perfect for couples, small families, or friends who want a unique, peaceful encounter with the Yucatán’s natural beauty. If you love swimming, photography, or simply exploring off-the-beaten-path natural wonders, you’ll likely find this tour fulfilling.

Final Thoughts on Value

While the price tag might seem steep for some, it covers transportation, tickets, boat trips, and lodging—costs that can add up quickly if booked separately. The private nature of the tour enhances the value, offering flexibility and comfort that larger group tours often lack.

If your priority is a relaxed, exclusive experience that allows you to truly connect with the natural environment and avoid the typical tourist crowds, this tour is definitely worth considering.

Who Should Book This Tour?

This trip works best for travelers who want a tailored experience—those who value comfort, privacy, and a diverse itinerary. It’s suitable for those who enjoy nature, cultural rituals, and scenic photography. Keep in mind, it’s a full two-day commitment, so if your schedule is tight or you’re more interested in city sights, this might not be the best fit. It’s also ideal for those comfortable with small-group settings and looking for a more personal, less commercialized adventure.
