Venture into a fantasy land of caverns connected by underground waterways. Secret River is home to incredible natural formations like stalactites and stalagmites and you can walk and wade through the .37-mile-long route (600 meters). When you arrive, you'll receive a comprehensive safety briefing before donning a wetsuit, water shoes, life jacket and helmet outfitted with a headlamp. Your expert guide will outline the cultural and natural importance of this underground world and it's crystal clear waters as you enter the caverns and marvel at this unique natural treasure that went unexplored for millions of years! Learn how the ancient Maya used these caves for ritualistic purposes. You can walk or wade in the underground cavern with your guide by your side. A Mexican regional buffet is served before returning to Playa del Carmen for some free time to shop.
