Cenote Snorkeling from Riu Playacar

Riu Playacar is a well-established all-inclusive resort in the heart of Playacar's Phase II resort zone, located adjacent to the Robert von Hagge-designed golf course and within easy distance of Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue. It accommodates families and couples across 396 modern rooms with four restaurants, a spa, and two pools, all on a beachfront setting next to tranquil white-sand shores. Guests looking to explore underground Yucatan are just a short drive from the main cenote sites.

After a morning on the Playacar golf course, swap the greens for the blues on a full-day cenote snorkeling trip that the whole family will love. These freshwater sinkholes require no diving skills — just a willingness to float through some of the clearest water on Earth. A leisurely picnic lunch between cenote visits keeps energy levels high for the afternoon. Your ride from Riu Playacar reaches the nearest cenotes in roughly 20 minutes, with Dos Ojos and The Pit accessible within 40 minutes.

Cenote Snorkeling at Riu Playacar — FAQ

Playa del Carmen's reefs are home to sea turtles, nurse sharks, eagle rays, moray eels, barracuda, and a wide variety of tropical reef fish. From November through March, certified divers can also encounter bull sharks on dedicated shark dives.

We recommend booking at least a few days in advance, especially during peak season from December through April. Bull shark dives and PADI courses fill up quickly, so earlier reservations help guarantee your preferred dates.
