The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Many cenotes and parks prohibit chemical sunscreens; use reef- and cenote-safe formulas to protect water quality.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV sections and short horseback segments are rough; sturdy closed-toe footwear protects toes and provides grip.
Pack a dry bag
Keep electronics and a change of clothes waterproofed for the cenote swim and unexpected splashes.
Mind the weight limits
Operators often restrict riders above ~120 kg (260 lb) for safety reasons—check policies before booking.
