Dos Ojos is the cenote to choose for snorkeling. It is a destination outing, about 40 to 50 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, so plan a morning for it.
Key takeaways
- Drive south on Highway 307 toward Tulum. Allow 40 to 50 minutes.
- The cenote is inside a park, on an unpaved road after the entrance.
- Hours: 8am to 4pm, with last entry at 3:30pm.
- Entry starts from about MXN 260. Confirm before you go.
- Snorkeling is the highlight. Guided cavern dives need certification and a guide.
- Jumping and a zipline are at the nearby Cenote Jaguar, not at Dos Ojos.
What to do
Bring a mask and snorkel and spend your time in the water. If you want to dive, book a guided cavern dive and bring your certification.
If you want to jump
Dos Ojos is not the place for jumps. Go to Cenote Jaguar in the same park, or read cliff jumps at Eden and Azul.
Closer cenotes
If you want a shorter drive, see Cenote Cristalino.
