Cenotes Casa Tortuga, Tulum: Four Cenotes, Fee, Families
Updated October 27, 2026
Cenotes Casa Tortuga is a park of four cenotes on the Cancún–Tulum highway, about 15 minutes north of Tulum, visited on a guided swimming circuit of about 1 hour 40 minutes. Tour listings describe two as open-air and two as cave cenotes, and depths run from 1 to 8 m, which makes it one of the easier cenote stops for families. A reseller sold the basic ticket from 26.68 US dollars per person in October 2026; the only peso price list we found, from November 2021, put the basic package at 650 pesos (MXN). Life jackets are included on the guided tour.
The four cenotes at Casa Tortuga
Royal Caribbean's guide to the park names all four. Some guided options visit only two cenotes and two caves, so check which your ticket covers.
- Campana — A semi-open cavern with stalactites and stalagmites.
- Wisho — A cavern passage with visible fossils and bats.
- Dorca — An open-air cenote.
- Tres Zapotes — A long pool of more than 100 m.

Is Casa Tortuga good for families?
It is one of the gentler options. Depths run from 1 to 8 m (Oasis Hoteles), the guided circuit includes life jackets, and tour listings describe two of the four as open-air, so children are not underground the whole time. The catch: some cavern passages need a brief swim underwater (Royal Caribbean), so a child who will not put their face in the water may skip a section. The park asks you to enter without sunscreen or insect repellent and bans outside food and alcohol. Our page on what to wear to a cenote covers rash guards and water shoes for children.

How to get to Casa Tortuga from Cancún
Casa Tortuga sits on Highway 307 at the Cancún–Tulum 239 address, north of Tulum along the road toward Playa del Carmen. Cancún to Tulum is about 130 km on the same highway. By bus, the ADO from Cancún to Tulum costs about 136 to 365 pesos (Por Esto, March 2026); colectivos between Playa del Carmen and Tulum run the same highway for about 40 to 50 pesos; ask the driver for Casa Tortuga, about 15 minutes before Tulum. Driving is simplest if you plan to add Casa Cenote or another Tulum cenote on the same day.
Tours from Cancún that stop at Casa Tortuga
Several Tulum day trips on GetYourGuide include Casa Tortuga. None is among the six tours we review in detail, and the newest have no reviews yet.
