Cenote Sac Actun: the World's Longest Flooded Cave System

Cancun Bay Tours July 15, 2026 sac-actun-cenote-tulum 4 min read

Sac Actun, “white cave” in Maya, is the longest flooded cave system in the world, with more than 370 km explored, near Tulum. Its caverns are full of ancient stalactites and stalagmites, offering an unforgettable snorkeling and cavern-diving experience.

What to see and do

  • Spectacular caverns – formations thousands of years old.
  • Guided snorkeling – among stalactites and light beams.
  • Cavern diving – for certified divers.

Why it is special

Being the longest underground system on the planet makes it a geological must-see and a window into the Maya underworld.

How to visit

It is near Tulum, in the same area covered by our Tulum, Cobá & cenote tour. Book with Cancun Bay Tours with pickup at your hotel.
