ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure Near Cancún: Jungle Rides and a Freshwater Swim
Race ATVs through coastal jungle, fly above the canopy on ziplines, then cool off in a limestone cenote—this full-day tour from Cancún combines adrenaline with natural history. Expect sandy tracks, safety briefings, and a local buffet to finish.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a refillable water bottle
Hydration stations may be limited—carry at least 1–2 liters; staying hydrated reduces fatigue on ATVs and after the zipline.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
ATVs and uneven jungle paths require sturdy footwear—water shoes alone aren’t enough for the ride sections.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply sunscreen before entering the cenote and avoid reapplying in the water to protect the aquifer and local fauna.
Secure loose items
Sunglasses, phones, and hats can fly off during the ATV or zipline portion—use straps or leave valuables on the transport.

Conservation Note

The Yucatán’s karst limestone formed the cenotes used by the Maya for water and ritual; many parks here incorporate archaeological context into their interpretation.
