Private Coba & Cenotes Tour

Caleb was the perfect tour guide for these two educators-his historical and archeological knowledge, combined with his positive relationships with all the local vendors, benefit his guests. He exudes pride in Mayan culture. Seeing and swimming in the Cenote was truly a once in a lifetime experience. If you’re looking for an incredible introduction to local culture and geographical wonders, this tour and this tour guide cannot be beat. Thank you, Caleb!

This was incredible, and without a doubt, the highlight of our trip (and to be perfectly honest - one of the best experiences of our lives). Caleb was extremely accommodating, kind, and eager to discuss and share his knowledge with us. We went by bike through Coba ruins, and learned not just of the temples and ball courts, but the traditions and culture of the Mayan people. We learned about the parts of history that are still in contention, and we learned about the flora and fauna that were around us. It made us want to learn more, so we will. Afterwards, we visited two cenotes, Multun-Ha and Tankach-Ha. Because of the well-planned timing of our arrivals, we were the only ones there at both (a group arrived at Tankach-Ha just before we were leaving). The Motmot birds were singing and welcomed our arrival. We tried to be quiet at first to let them be. Then we had fun and they tolerated us (I hope). We also saw a mariposa azul, which was incredibly beautiful, and as we were told, a very rare sight. After the second cenote, we shared a meal provided by a loving Mayan family. We made an attempt at making our own tortillas, which to our surprise, turned out pretty well. Nothing though compared to those that were being made by the matriarch of the family. It was absolutely delicious (Jaach-Ki’). I cannot recommend highly enough!!
