About this dive site
Tulum's flagship cenote for snorkelers and cavern introductions.
Gran Cenote is a short ride from Tulum with boardwalks, stalactites and turtle sightings in the open basin. Snorkelers share the water with guided cavern divers on established lines. Arrive early to avoid tour-bus crowds and silt from fins.
Gran Cenote fills with snorkel buses mid-morning; early entries reduce silt and crowded boardwalks.
