About this Experience
What you'll do:
Your group is transported to a private cenote, where the afternoon opens with a traditional cacao ceremony, then everyone settles into floating water hammocks inside the cenote for a guided sound healing ceremony, the sound carrying across the water in a way you can't get anywhere on land; after a refreshment break, the group swims through to a second private cenote — taking in the water and jungle scenery along the way — where the experience closes with a relaxing massage for each guest. The full afternoon runs 3.5 hours, from 3:00 to 6:30 pm.
Cacao ceremony: The experience opens with a traditional cacao ceremony, setting a grounded, collective intention before the water portion begins.
Sound healing in water hammocks: Your group floats in hammocks inside the cenote for a guided sound healing session — crystal bowls, gongs, and other ceremonial instruments, with the water amplifying every tone.
Refreshment break: Once the sound healing closes, the group takes a moment to rest and enjoy refreshments before continuing on.
Swim to a second cenote: From there, everyone swims to a second private cenote, taking in the water and jungle landscape along the way — a quiet, scenic transition between the two parts of the experience.
Relaxing massage: At the second cenote, each guest receives a private, relaxing massage to close out the afternoon.
Why we love it for your party:
Two private cenotes, one booking: Most cenote experiences give you one location — this one takes your group on an actual journey between two, each with its own ritual.
The water hammocks: Floating in a hammock inside a cenote during a sound bath is not something most visitors to Tulum ever get to experience — it's the kind of detail that makes the afternoon memorable well after the trip ends.
Four experiences in one price: Cacao ceremony, sound healing, a scenic swim, and a massage are all included, so there's no coordinating separate vendors or bookings.
Genuinely relaxing, not just Instagram-relaxing: Between the water hammocks and the closing massage, this is a group that wants to actually slow down — not just get a photo that looks like it.
Naturally photogenic, without trying: Turquoise water, jungle canopy, floating hammocks, and a ceremonial set-up make for a visually stunning afternoon at every stage.
Small, intentional groups: A cap of 14 guests keeps every part of the experience — especially the massage — personal and unhurried.
