Visiting Kin-Ha is like taking advantage of a two-for-one offer.  There are two separate cenotes: a cave experience and an open cenote (Flora Blanca) that has several overwater ziplines (you jump from them halfway through the ride into the cenote) plus a diving platform with several levels (the lowest is a six-foot jump to the surface while the highest jump is approximately 45-feet for the very adventurous).  Jumping into the cave cenote is allowed through the hole in the ceiling of the cenote (it’s about a 15-foot drop).  If you take a tour you can add on a quad bike excursion, ziplining in the jungle, plus lunch and transportation from your resort.  If you aren’t into group tours, you can see this cenote independently and just pay the entrance fee for swimming in two cenotes.  This cenote is also popular with cave divers; scuba divers must have a special dive certification since this dive is deep and involves circling down into the cenote depths.

Kin-Ha is located on the famous Ruta de los Cenotes near Puerto Morelos; it has a restaurant, lockers, and hammocks on-site, plus you can use their life jackets.  If not taking a tour, it’s best to rent a car or hire a taxi for several hours and have the driver wait for a designated amount of time.  FYI:  If you want to take your own photos you may have difficulty doing so because the owners of this cenote want to make money from their staff taking their own photos.  Ask in advance if you wish to take pics or video and give them a good reason why you should be allowed to do so–promoting their cenote on social media for an increased number of visitors, perhaps?  I plan on visiting this cenote in November when I am closest to it so I will have to see what happens with my pitch.

Here’s a short video of this cenote from a tour group experience; what do you think?
