We visited in the rain mid hurricane season so probably not the best time, but maybe that's why there weren't many people. Beautiful water, a place to jump, dive, sharp rocks and many many crabs! PLEASE don't forget to walk across the road from parking, there is a beautiful spot to enjoy breathtakingly beautiful water, the water in cities is brown and here between cities it's unreal
This is honestly the most beautiful cenote I’ve seen in Cuba. It’s a cool mix of fresh and salt water. You can see freshwater creatures on top and saltwater fish deeper down. The right side goes from around 2 to 3 meters deep to about 23 meters. The left side is even deeper and way more impressive. If you keep going to the far left, that part is absolutely amazing. Most people don’t go that far, but you should definitely try it. Totally worth it!
A nice place to relax away from civilization. We came across a crab migration, there were hundreds of them. You can rest and then go to the other side of the road to the Caribbean Sea where you can snorkel
As a first-time scuba diver, I had a great time at Cueva de los Peces. For 35 USD, you can go snorkling in the Cueva and go scuba-diving with a guide in the sea, on the other side of the road (you can also just do snorkling for 5 USD and they will provide you with a mask). My guide gave a crash-course on basic safety tips and held my arm throughout our dive while showing me giant crabs, eels, fish, corals, etc. I felt safe the whole time.
One of the nice attractions of the area of Playa Giron. Across the road there is a nice beach. Don’t forget to bring bathing suit. The water in the Cenote is amazingly nice to dive and swim.
Amazing fresh water stream -- super deep and crystal clear it feels like you're swimming in bottled mineral water. Suprisingly quiet as well as most people hang out at the beach nearby instead (which is awesome for snorkeling). But this spring-fed stream is just so magical with lots of trees around it as well
First off this used to be a great place. It costs 200 pecos entry but there are no fish. Apparently with the hurricane a few years ago, there are no longer any fish. This is a small cenote and seems somewhat dirty. It gets hoards of bus traffic. We did go snorkeling across the road and that was pretty decent. You have to go about 100m out to the right or left to find some nice coral features.
Best time of my life here! Bring your snorkelling gear and do both sides of the street. When in the cenote, go through the rocks into the smaller part and continue to the end (don't worry it is safe). You can swim down there for an extra 10 minutes one way. It is actually prettier too! You feel like you are swimming in a jungle! I had the crocodile as food, it was fine. Heads up: all the choices at this restaurant are 15CUC so no savings here but there is a booth in the parking lot that offers sandwiches and good BURGERS for 3CUC!!! The ocean part is to die for. I saw huge schools of fish after only a few minutes. I personally liked the corals here, lots of colour and variety. Don't believe the Debbie Downers. There are over 20 dive sites within 10 minutes and many shipwrecks put there on purpose for our entertainment. This is snorkelling paradise! If you try a little you can even see monster groupers, come on, where else can do do all of this FOR FREE???????? Yes I did say free.

Crocks farm where you can see them, eat and take a picture with them 😎 Entrance is 5 USD per person, feeding crock is also 5 USD. Taking picture with small crocodile is 1 USD. Classic souvenir shops and in one store you can buy something from crocodile leather like belt or bracelet. On feeding point you can buy souvenir from crock’s 🦷.
Once a beautiful place, but now a dilapidated one. Missing tourists, crumbling equipment, broken boats and hungry crocodiles. When you start talking to the local workers, it is very sad and frustrating. At the restaurant I was first given an overpriced tourist menu and after a reproachful look I was given a half Cuban menu. Even the entrance fee to the farm is, according to the (offensive) Cuban tradition, more than 15 times higher for tourists than for locals.
We were lucky that the criadero (nursery) was practically empty when we visited. It as very hot, so avoiding delays caused by crowds was great. Very educational and well looked-after nature park with loads of Cuban crocodiles at every stage of development from hatchlings to enormous mature adults. Everything was explained to us in great detail and I learned something new about the Bay of Pigs invasion: A lot of the invading troops were killed and eaten by these crocodiles in the swamps around where we were standing. Typical outdoor public toilets, but this time the worst so far. No light, extremely humid, all urinalshadbeen smashed off the walls, no running water to either flush or wash one's hands, and still the matronly guardian of the toilet paper was outside with her wicher bowl! Lunch was included and OK, following the usual pattern of you eat what you're given, no choices and you pay for any drinks - not even water is included. After lunch, we were due to go on a boat trip around the swamp etc, to see the crocs, but it was far too hot and there was no cover on the smallish boat so we decided against going out on the water and barbecuing ourselves! All in all a good visit to see the animals.
It was very interesting, I've never had such respect for crocodiles until i saw them in action for their meal :D Definitely recommend
Very good facilities! I didn’t expect that. You can the Cuban “version” of crocodile, an ancient fish which they try to reserve it before its distinction small crocodile, at a large facility There are shop and restaurants.
Good place to see crocodiles. Gets very crowded in waves as each tour bus arrives. You have to pay to use the washrooms 1 CUCwhich would be ok if it had toilet seats, didn't smell so bad, was actually clean, and provided you with more than 2 sheets of toilet paper. You can pay to feed or hold a croc, 1 CUC.
We also only paid 5 CUC and got a drink for free. It was nice seeing the crocodiles. Hopefully for a good reason, as they stated, that they raise them because the crocodile babies otherwise die. Not so much to see otherwise.
Excellent fun but bring lots and lots of sun anti mosquito spray and loose change in case you want to fishing rod-feed some crocs.
