ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Cancun — Quads, Canopy Flights & Open-Cenote Swim
Race through jungle trails on an ATV, fly across a seven-line canopy zip circuit, then cool off in an open cenote — all in a four-hour adventure with hotel pickup from Cancun. Practical, fast-paced, and responsibly run, this tour packs three distinct Yucatán experiences into one afternoon.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
ATV sections are dusty and require good foot protection; sandals are not permitted for safety.
Pack swimwear and a towel
You’ll end the tour with a swim in an open cenote and an optional zip into the water.
Hydrate before departure
Tropical heat plus adrenaline increases dehydration risk — carry a refillable bottle if you prefer more water than provided.
Follow guide instructions
Obey weight and age limits on ziplines and basic ATV rules to avoid accidents; guides set the pace for safety.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Try the tequila test offered after the cenote swim — a small tasting highlighting regional variations
- •Ask your guide about the karst features visible near the cenote rim; there are small caverns and fossil traces often overlooked
Wildlife
- •Green parakeets and motmots in the canopy
- •Freshwater fish and small bats sheltering in cenote recesses
Conservation Note
Operators limit trails and enforce trash-free policies; use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid disturbing cenote walls to protect delicate aquatic ecosystems.
Cenotes were freshwater sources for ancient Maya settlements and held ritual significance; the karst landscape of the Yucatán is the geological reason these sinkholes appear.
