Cenote Tankah is not one place. Tankah, just north of Tulum on Highway 307, has a beach club with an open cenote and caleta (Caleta Tankah, about 300 MXN reported), a jungle park sold on guided tours with cenotes, zip lines and canoes, and Casa Cenote at Tankah Tres. This page sorts out which is which.
“Cenote Tankah” can mean three different places in the Tankah area, just north of Tulum on Highway 307. Caleta Tankah is a beach club about 6 km from town with an open cenote, a caleta where fresh water meets the sea, and a beach; one 2026 guide reports about 300 MXN entry. The Tankah cenote park is a jungle park sold on guided tours with cenotes, zip lines, canoes and a Maya lunch. Casa Cenote is the mangrove cenote at Tankah Tres. Pick the first for a beach-and-cenote day, the second for an organised adventure, and the third for snorkeling.

None of these prices is official. The cenote entrance fees guide explains how fees work around Tulum.
Caleta Tankah’s own website describes three things in one place: an open-air cenote in the jungle, a caleta, and a beach with palms. The caleta is a natural pool shaped by the waves where fresh groundwater and sea water mix. There is a restaurant, a pool and a beach club.
The website gives no price, hours or rules. A guide on the area, undated but current in 2026, says entry is around 300 pesos per person and covers the cenotes, caleta, beach and loungers; it says cards are accepted but cash is handy. It also says gear rental is not reliable, so bring your own mask, towel and water shoes. Treat the price as one source’s report and check when you arrive.
Getting there: drive north from Tulum on Highway 307 to km 233. It is about 5.7 km from town, roughly 8 minutes. Colectivos on 307 stop at roadside entrances on request. The getting around Tulum guide covers transport, and the Tulum cenote map shows Caleta Tankah and Casa Cenote.
Several tour sellers offer a day at “Tankah Park”, described as a Maya village and private nature reserve just outside Tulum with five cenotes, snorkeling, canoeing and zip lines, with a Maya lunch and hotel transport. Tripadvisor lists the attraction at 4.8 from about 159 reviews, and reviewers mention the local community running it, cold water in some cenotes and mosquitoes.
We could not find the park on a map, or confirm whether it shares land with Caleta Tankah, so we do not give a location. If you book one of these tours, the operator handles transport. The Tankah tour on GetYourGuide is not in the set of tours we checked, so it is not featured here; the tours on this page stop at Casa Cenote instead.
Casa Cenote, also called Cenote Manatí, is the best-known cenote in Tankah: an open, brackish mangrove channel linked to the sea, 3 to 8 m deep, popular for snorkeling and beginner dives. A crocodile bit a visitor there in May 2026, and Tulum said it was looking at limits on swimming where crocodiles live; whether any are in force is not confirmed. Read the Casa Cenote guide before you go.
Casa Cenote is at Tankah Tres. Further north on 307, Cenotes Casa Tortuga and Dos Ojos are guided and self-guided cenote parks. Back in town, the Cobá road leads to Gran Cenote. For beaches, see the Tulum beaches guide, and for a base, the where to stay in Tulum guide. Every cenote is on the Tulum cenote guide homepage.

Tankah is the stretch of coast and Highway 307 just north of Tulum. Caleta Tankah, the beach club with an open cenote, is at km 233 of the highway, about 5.7 km from Tulum town. Casa Cenote is further north at Tankah Tres. A jungle park sold as Tankah cenotes on tours is described as just outside Tulum, but we could not place it on a map.
Caleta Tankah does not publish a price. One guide, undated but current in 2026, says entry is around 300 pesos per person and covers the cenote, caleta, beach and loungers, and that cards are accepted. A beach guide gives the same 300 MXN. The guided Tankah cenote park is sold as a tour with lunch and transport, not as a gate ticket.
A caleta is a small rocky inlet on the coast. At Caleta Tankah, fresh water from underground flows out into a natural pool shaped by the waves, where it mixes with sea water. Caleta Tankah sells the caleta alongside a separate open-air cenote and a beach, so you get fresh water and sea water in one visit.
No. Casa Cenote, also called Cenote Manatí, is a mangrove channel at Tankah Tres, about 10.8 km north of Tulum. Caleta Tankah is a separate beach club about 5 km closer to town. Both are in the Tankah area, so searches and maps mix them up. Casa Cenote has its own resident crocodile; read up on that before you go.
Tour sellers describe Tankah Park as a Maya village and private nature reserve just outside Tulum with five cenotes, snorkeling, canoes and zip lines, usually sold with lunch and hotel transport.
