Great knowledgeable guide and awesome local initiative to help the bees. Products made from honey were also really good, in short a good experience to learn and taste great products!

Unique experience in Valladolid, and probably on any of your trips - visit a bee farm, and bees that you can get up close without wearing any protective gear! Also the staff were incredibly kind and went above and beyond. I left my backpack behind, and then drove 2 hours to Tulum before realising. They moved heaven and earth to find a solution to send my backpack to me in the following days, which I was very grateful for! There's also lodgings and restaurant on-site.

The visit was fantastic, I learnt a lot about bees and also Mayan culture. Special thanks to Mario for his professionalism !

Great short educational tourist attraction not raving. With tourists. Learn a lot about nature and the ancient Mayan relationship with their native honey bees. Fantactic array of a variety of species with an if to drive guide and lots of honey related gifts and treats at the end to buy. All ages can enjoy

We really enjoyed the Bee tour and honey tasting. As someone with a personal interest in natural beekeeping this was an amazing irreplaceable experience. For the rest of my family who are just generally interested in bees, they also really enjoyed the tour and learned new things. The ability to observe the inside of several hives and see so many different kinds of bees in one place was extremely, extremely unique. Our guide Joel was excellent and shared a lot of information about different native plants and trees including their Mayan folklore that we couldn't have gotten anywhere else. His knowledge and enthusiasm for connecting with people really enriched our experience. The honey tasting was really extensive and we were legitimately excited to purchase some strong medicinal honey at really reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Just a twenty minute walk south of the main square of Valladolid you will find this oasis of tranquility. We went twice: the first time was interrupted by a thunderstorm, but the second we managed to enjoy an interesting and informative tour of the dry cenote where the bees live. Mario told us a little of the culture of his ancestors, as well as the science and nature of bees and honey. Very friendly. (And very friendly people in the barrio San Juan as we walked to/from the main square… holas and buenos días from all).

Our tour guide, Mario was great - very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He took us (4 English speakers) around the place and gave us loads of interesting information about the place.

Visit of the Mayan bees with a tasting at the end. The tasting was actually the best part as we could understand more differences, highly educational.

Very interesting and enjoyable tour set in the beautiful park at Xkopek, complete with a substantial amount of honey tasting. Well worth it at 150 pesos for a 2hrs tour in English & Spanish.

This is an interesting place to visit. I liked all the information about the bees but especially liked seeing the dry cenote which is onsite. Super hot day but comfortable temp in the cenote. Tour was about 90 minutes. Jorge was our tour guide and also a family member of the people that began this business. Very knowledgeable, very enjoyable tour. At the end of tour Jorge provided a variety of honey tastings. Lots of honey based products. Entry was 150 pesos plus we tipped our guide. There's a restaurant on-site where we enjoyed lunch. Reasonable prices.

We had an enjoyable visit with a tour of the dry cenote, to see the natural hives and learn about the characteristics of Mexican bees as compared to British bees. The guide was very good. There is a nice shop to buy bee related products. We had bought a day pass which allowed us to use the pool and get a discount in the restaurant so it was good value. The pool is nice, with good showers, and there is also an area with hammocks. Definitely worth a visit

I’m just back from a wonderful few hours at the Xkopek Parque Apicola, where I learned about the fascinating stingless bees that live, thrive, and make honey here at this family-owned Mayan preserve. The tour, offered several times a day in Spanish and English by a very knowledgeable guide, included a descent into the dry cenote where several species of bees (and wasps) have nests, a visit to see some of the hives, and a wonderful “tasting” of several kinds of honey and honey-based products at the end. I never tasted pollen before.

We visited this Mayan bee collective as a family of 6. We took the tour and did the honey tasting afterwards. If you arrive between tours, they have hammocks and chairs to relax in. Our tour guide was clearly passionate about the four types of native Mayan bees. As a beekeeper, I was fascinated. The rest of my group found it interesting, despite not being interested in insects! It’s a great, relaxing hour in Valladolid.

I love bees so I had to come here. Being able to see so many different kinds of bees living freely and being able to taste their products is an amazing experience. Recommended for anyone into Mayan culture and bees!

At first I was expecting a park (which here in Yucatan seem basically to be non-existent) and thus was a bit underwhelmed by what I saw _at first_. It's a privately owned place. Let me describe what you will find here: * a lot of trees, serenity and cute little huts and tents * wonderful people staying there, almost everyone extends their original stay duration * a very nice tour about bees every day at 08:30 with honeytasting afterwards for 120$ * a dry cenote (I think only accessible during the tour), not to swim * a beautiful pool area * some chicken and geese * a restaurant (which was veeery slow with our orders, didnt have the biggest choice of food, but the cacao was really good) * a shop where they sell honey and products derived from it * you can tent there for 250$ (I think they even have tents ready under a roof, but you can also bring your own) * a chapel. It's closed and I don't know when they open it. The whole vibe of this place was really good and I met lots of very conscious people there. Been there twice. If nothing else, I recommend the tour in the mornings ✌️
