ATV Xtreme and Zipline Adventure in Riviera Maya: Jungle ATVs, Zip Lines & Underground Rivers
Split your day between roaring ATVs, flying over the jungle on ziplines, and cooling off in a crystal-clear underground river. This six-hour Riviera Maya circuit pairs off-road thrills with cenote swimming and a local buffet.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear two pairs of shoes
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes for the ATV portion and quick-drying water shoes for the cenote swim make transitions smoother.
Use biodegradable sunscreen and repellent
Cenote ecosystems are sensitive—only biodegradable products are allowed and they protect aquatic life.
Know the limits
Maximum rider weight (~300 lbs/135 kg) and minimum driving/riding ages apply—check these before booking to avoid surprises.
Bring local cash
Vendors and guides may accept tips or sell photos and souvenirs; small bills simplify purchases.

Conservation Note

The Yucatán’s limestone karst created cenotes that were freshwater sources and ritual sites for the Maya; many cenotes near Playa del Carmen remain culturally significant.
