Two Eyes Cenote — Attraction in Quintana Roo

We visited this cenote after experiencing the magic of Sac Actun and Taak bi ha and it was a bit underwhelming in comparison. Going just to swim in the open areas wouldn’t be worth it imo because the ojos are really small and it feels like you’re so close to everyone else and can’t really get away from them for some peace. We took the tour because we wanted more cavern snorkeling. If you’ve never used flippers and aren’t used to them, don’t wear them. It will make your swim so much more difficult. I couldn’t figure them out after our 45 minute tour and struggled the whole time. Also, I thought it was quite irresponsible that our guide did not warn us NOT to flash your flashlight at the bats (unless it has red light) because it hurts them and can disorient them. I feel horrible that I did because I didn’t know any better at the time and other people were doing it and quickly found out back at our hotel that that is a big NO-NO. 🙏🏼SO PLEASE DO NOT SHINE YOUR FLASHLIGHT AT THE BATS when you get to the bat cave or anywhere you see them. 🙏🏼 surprisingly on our way out when you go through the low hanging stalactites, they were so low that my tube hit the ceiling which again is irresponsible that there was no warning or instruction and they let this happen because it could damage these beautiful structures that have taken thousands and thousands of years to form. In comparison, in the sac actun tour, they don’t even give you a tube for this...

Dos Ojos is an amazing scuba diving experience. The fresh water is crystal clear with a constant temperature of 76-77 degrees Fahrenheit. Dive lights are required. There are two different loops to follow through the Cavern with one having more natural light being more open at the beginning of the dive. This loop gives less experienced diver's time to get their buoyancy under control before going into the dark overhead environment. I just dove the second loop today named, "Bat Cave" which is very dark for most of the dive. Wow, what an experience. There are spectacular stalagmites and stalactites throughout the loop. Part way through you surface inside a large dome that has a three foot wide opening high in the ceiling. A bunch of fruit bat's were coming and going through the opening and flying around in the dome... One of the coolest things I have ever experienced while diving.

The maximum depth in Dos Ojos is 30 feet and the swim rate is very relaxed with no current to deal with.

The dive shop I used was Aquanauts in Puerto Morales. I travel with my own dive gear but my dive buddy rented his. They provided transportation to/from our hotel and the dive site. William and his wife Crescent are super nice and extremely knowledgeable.

Cenote Dos Ojos is a spectacular dive site that I highly recommend for those with...

Overall I had a good time at this cenote.

The price for entry is: 250 pesos for entry to open air cenote with zipline (requires extra payment for zipline ?70 pesos) 350 pesos different cenote located in a cave with some open access 400 pesos for access to 2 underground cenotes (apparently the most beautiful) - known as the "dos ojos"

700 pesos for access to all 4 cenotes 800 pesos for access to all cenotes and includes guided tour with scuba diving equipment.

70 pesos if you want to rent snorkeling gear. You can't rent scuba equipment unless you go on the tour.

We paid 400 pesos for the 2 cave cenotes and 70 pesos for the snorkel. We had a lovely time. Water is very clear and the caves are cool to look at through goggles. Fun to swim with the fish and admire the save system. Water was coldish but bearable.

If I were to go again I'd probably pay the 800 pesos for the full scuba equipment as it looked a lot of fun to explore the cave system.

Facilities are good with toilets and showers and hammocks.

Each of the cenotes are about a 40 minute walk from each other so not ideal to do multiple unless you have a car.

Finally I would say I've had more fun at cenotes where I've only paid 80 pesos and the beauty is on a similar level. However I still had a...
