ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Cancún — Puerto Morelos Day Trip
Race ATVs through jungle tracks, sail across treetops on ziplines, then cool off in a crystalline cenote. This five-hour day trip from Cancún packs adventure, culture and geology into one efficient outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring cash for the conservation fee
A mandatory Maya Jungle Conservation Fee of $30 USD per person is paid at the park entrance; have smaller bills ready as card facilities may be limited.
Shoes and clothing
Wear closed-toe shoes with good tread for the ATV section and quick-dry layers for the cenote swim.
Protect your phone
Use a small waterproof bag or case for your phone—ziplines and wet cenote edges can spray water and dust.
Timing to avoid heat
Choose a morning or late-afternoon departure to avoid the hottest midday sun and to get clearer cenote water for photos.

Conservation Note
The Maya Jungle Conservation Fee funds local protection and maintenance of trails and cenotes; stick to marked paths and avoid single-use plastics in the park.
Cenotes were vital water sources for the Maya and often held ceremonial value; many in the Riviera Maya expose an extensive submerged karst network formed over millennia.
