Cenote Hubiku Tours

A Cenote Hubiku tour is a stop on the road between Chichén Itzá and Valladolid, a cave-style cenote that suits travellers who want a cooler, more enclosed swim than Ik Kil offers. It is a good fit for couples and families on a Chichén Itzá day.

Cenote Hubiku tour options

Hubiku is typically combined with Chichén Itzá or Valladolid cenotes. It makes a natural lunch-time stop for groups heading east.

A private driver gives the flexibility to choose the order.

Hubiku fits a day when you want a cooler, more enclosed swim than the open pool at Ik Kil. It also helps break up a day of driving between Mérida and Valladolid.

Private drivers can place it just after lunch, when the road is hottest.

Leave bulky bags in the vehicle, and bring a small amount of cash for fees.

Best time to visit Cenote Hubiku

Mid-morning to early afternoon gives the best light. Water is cool all year.

Mid-morning to early afternoon is when light is most likely to reach the water through the ceiling. Early arrival means a calmer swim.

The cave stays cool all year, which is welcome in summer and means you may want a layer in January.
