Cancun 5-in-1 Adventure: Snorkel Coral Reefs, Speedboat, ATV Jungle Ride, Ziplines & Cenote Swim
A single-day, high-energy loop that pairs speedboat reef snorkels with jungle ATVs, ziplines and a cenote swim. Expect about seven hours, hotel transfers, bilingual guides, and a mix of ocean and inland terrain—best for travelers with moderate fitness and basic swimming skills.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the coral reef—use mineral-based sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Wear closed-toe shoes for ATVs
Light trail shoes protect your feet from debris and make mounting/dismounting easier.
Hydrate and snack smart
Carry a reusable bottle and eat light snacks; the boxed lunch comes after the activities to reduce seasickness.
Confirm pickup location
If you’re in an Airbnb downtown, meet at the designated hotel pickup point to avoid delays.

Conservation Note
The Mesoamerican Reef faces stress from tourism and runoff—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
Cenotes are collapsed limestone sinkholes tied to ancient Maya groundwater systems and were sacred water sources; today they offer freshwater dives that contrast with offshore coral habitats.
