About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Globaljoan0 contributionsManuel - Guide for the Cenotes!Manuel was our guide (ask for him) who showed up exactly as planned and knew the ins and outs of how to best experience cenotes before the masses arrive. We went to three different cenotes, which were all very different from each other with a delicious local lunch included as well. A definite MUST-DO when in Tulum. We absolutely loved it.Written 14 March 2025
- tarahX6667KS0 contributionsAmazing, informative and fun excursionThe tour and cenote were amazing! Ulises is full of information and a lot of fun! He was very accommodating, added a stop for coffee for us since we left early and hadn't gotten our morning fix yet. He was giving us history right from the start. For the cenote masks and underwater flashlights were provided so we could see the formations below the surface. I highly recommend!Written 14 March 2025
- kencE4608LH0 contributionsTulum and CenoteThe view of Tulum ruins by the ocean and underwater of the cenote was amazing. Thanks to our guide Ulises for the stories.Written 14 March 2025
- lisa v0 contributionsI recommend learning and experiencing the cenotes with Manuel - for anyone!From the moment Manuel picked us up at 7:50 on the nose - we had good conversation, safe driving and were at our first cenote as it opened. We were all alone in that special place: snorkels and little flashlights provided to have the best experience. Soon thereafter - we went to a total cave cenote- and once again with good timing- it was all ours. Amazing. This was followed by a terrific lunch , still within the Mayan family grounds. We finished with a third cenote- gorgeous calm watering hole feel. Manuel’s knowledge of history and current issues is great and it was a five star morning!Written 14 March 2025
- staceym061420190 contributionsGreat way to see what Tulum is about!Only have a few hours and want to see what Tulum is about? This trip is perfect! Our guide Alex picked us up from our resort and got us to the ruins just before the park opened. We beat the heat and crowds and got some amazing pictures. Alex was extremely knowledgeable about the area and archaeology in general, so it was entertaining and educational. We also had time to take a quick tour of the new museum at the Jaguar park—a small but very thoughtfully curated collection. Highly recommend if you don’t want to spend a full day in the car or jungle heat.Written 13 March 2025
- Dgoodin0 contributionsReally awesome day!Had an amazing day with Josua! He picked us up in the morning and was so kind and friendly throughout the day. We toured the ruins, went snorkeling and saw turtles and stingrays and finished with a beautiful cenote and lunch. Really recommend. 10/10!Written 6 March 2025
- alyssadK140OC0 contributionsIncredible Experience!We had a wonderful time with Jhony! He was informative, kind, did a great job showing us around! He picked us up from our hotel and gave us a clear timeline of the day. We were staying in Cancun so our pick up time was very early, 6:00am, but this is so worth it to get to the centotes right as they open. He let us choose if we wanted to eat after the first two cenotes or if we wanted to wait until we were done. We decided to wait because it was important to us to see the cenotes when they were not busy. We had Oxman completely to ourselves, we were among the first to arrive at Suytun, and had Yucatan all to ourselves! Jhony was always available to teak pictures or videos and to answer all our questions. This was our second tour with Tours Carey and we would definitely go again! Some in our group spoke Spanish but some did not, Jhony (and our previous guide) are both beautifully fluent in English. Don't hesitate, book the tour, it is worth every penny!Written 6 March 2025

- 243kristis0 contributionsPerfect Day ExploringTulum Ruins are beautiful with breathtaking views. History of it is interesting and layered in nature. The Cenotes were our favorite part. Truly pictures do not do them justice. The day was made even better thanks to our incredible guide, Ulises. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and energetic. Carlos, our trusty driver was top notch as well. For a half day excursion I could not recommend this more. Do it! You will not regret it.Written 3 March 2025

- Journey233800090460 contributionsThe best day of our vacationWe were picked up at our Hotel by Limbert on time. We went to Tulum and during the whole time we got an education on Myan history. Limbert was so knowledgeable on the subject that he made it extremely engaging. We left Tulum, and he took us to a restaurant and had the best tacos I've ever had. We went to a Cenote, and the education continued. My wife and I had I had the best day. I highly recommend Carey Tours and Limbert in particular.Written 19 February 2025

We had an UNBELIEVABLE time learning to spearfish with Diego for my 40th birthday. He was there to greet us at the beach the second our taxi door opened. Spearfishing can be a dangerous sport, and he made sure everyone's safety was priority #1. He spent a a good amount of time going over breathing techniques for spearfishing, and discussing which fish we were allowed to catch. He was very passionate about fish and reef conservation. We spent about 3.5 hours snorkeling for fish. In the end, I didn't manage to get my spear on a fish, but he and my husband caught a HUGE barracuda together. Diego expertly filleted our catch while we drank some ice cold beers on the boat and he told us about a great restaurant within walking distance to take our catch to be cooked. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with Carey Tours and Diego for spearfishing! :) Thank you for a great birthday!
I would like to note: Even though Diego is an excellent and patient instructor, I would not recommend this tour for novices to snorkeling. We are certified SCUBA divers and freediving 30 to 40 feet down to shoot at fish was still very intimidating. You need to know how to pressurize your ears and hold your breath properly otherwise you can end up very hurt.

Took my 6 year old grandson out fishing with Fernando, Russo, and Captain William. We had pretty rough seas and the day started out a bit slow, but with hard work and an experienced crew we found the fish! We caught 2 barracuda, one easily over 48" and somewhere around 25-30 lbs. And 3 mahi mahi. The action was fast and furious and the fish were large enough to be a little intimidating to my grandson. He hung in there and managed to land two of the mahi, although on the first one a rogue wave hit the side of the boat and washed right over our heads!! Such a great adventure! We were laughi8ng and having a ball. Great, friendly, knowledgeable crew that never stopped working. Such a great trip! I would highly recommend.

Spear fishing in Tulum was awesome! Fernando really knows his stuff. We did that on Saturday of our trip and then we took a private tour of the cenote's with Jhony on Monday which was also awesome! I would definitely say you need a bit of experience diving for spearfishing but if you have the basics down you'll do great!

It was absolut awesome! Spearfishing with Diego was a truly unique experience. The sport itself is just so special and the way they teach you all the different techniques is just amazing. And at the end we could take the fish with us, gave it to our kitchen in the hotel and had an unforgettable lunch. I would do it again!

We had a wonderful time with this private tour. Diego and Fernando taught us the basics of spearfishing, made sure we were comfortable underwater and took us to the hot spots with lots of tropical fish so we can start shooting. Would highly recommend if you enjoy a more interactive excursion. Would love to do this again.

The Carey tours group were all wonderful! They really give you the full experience. We got to dive and snorkel with sea turtles, fish, stingrays, and more! We even got to dive above a sunken ship. After our fishing adventures, the we made a delicious fresh ceviche for us as we relaxed on the boat near shore. Amazing experience
