ATV, Cenote Swim & Jungle Ziplines from Cancun — Half-Day Adventure
Drive ATVs through jungle mud, plunge into a freshwater cenote, and fly above the canopy on ziplines during a compact half-day from the Riviera Maya. This combo tour mixes hands-on driving with a cultural swim and treetop thrills.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are muddy and rocky—sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect feet and improve control.
Bring biodegradable sunscreen & repellent
Cenote ecosystems are sensitive and guides may prohibit regular sunscreen—use reef-safe, biodegradable products.
Respect weight limits and insurance options
Weight restrictions are enforced for safety on ATVs and ziplines; optional ATV insurance is offered on site.
Pack a quick dry change & towel
You’ll get wet at the cenote—an extra shirt and towel make the drive back comfortable.

Conservation Note

The Yucatán’s cenotes are part of an extensive limestone karst system; the Maya used them for water and ritual, giving many cenotes deep cultural significance.
