The variety of cave formations was amazing. The 5% of time spent swimming was a bit chilly but not too bad. We were so busy taking in this new world that our time went by far too quickly. Fernando is an excellent guide whose enthusiasm for the caves was contagious! My son & I are extremely claustrophobic and we never,... more

My name is Gloria and I am 66 years of age. I have been on a fantastic 2 month vacation to Mexico. Of all the places I have experienced my most memorable experience was my trip to Rio Secreto in Playa del Carmen. We look at the galaxies and are amazed at the intricacies above us. We look at the... more

OMG....I don't know if I have the words to describe the experience. It was absolutely breathtaking and unbelievably beautiful. more

I was quite skeptical after my husband brought up the idea of this adventure but after some convincing and research, I gave in and I am so glad I did this in September 09! We booked through our resort for the next morning (picked up at 7:45 a.m. ) and a short trip on an air conditioned van, we arrived... more

The one thing you might read about the most is the cost of the pictures. Considering you have a professional photographer the whole time who trials your group, and consider that they have strategically placed remote flashes set-up throughout the cave, its no wonder they are priced higher than your average souvenier photos. They have actually come down on the... more

Yes, it's an expensive outing. And speaking of expense, we actually haggled with Best Day Travel (agency down there) for a price that started at $119/person (!) but got it down to $81 (which included park fee, lunch and transportation from the Cancun hotel zone). It would be cheaper if we'd taken their $41/person entry deal and rented a car,... more

We've traveled to Quintana Roo 8 times over the years, and done a lot of fun things. However, Rio Secreto is easily the best thing we've ever done. It's a true cave exploration... hiking, wading, swimming. The sights are incredible, showing you formations of all kinds, and a wonderful narrative on how the company works to protect this wonderful site.... more

Rio Secreto was an incredible surprise. I had never explored any caves before so didn't know what to expect. I loved the idea of slipping on a wet suit and a helmet with a light on it and plunging into darkness. The price seemed a little high ($50 or so) but I can say it was money incredibly well-spent. This... more

A trip to Rio Secreto is a must while in the Playa Del Carmen area. It was a 100 peso 10 minute cab ride from Playa (tip - if you´re in Playa, don´t pay for their additional fee for transportation which will run you an addition $30-40 per person). When you are ready to leave, a cab can be called... more
