Cancun ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure: Extreme Jungle Experience
Race ATVs through mangroves, fly on jungle ziplines and dive into a limestone cenote on this 3–4 hour adventure from Cancun. Practical tips on what to pack, safety and what to expect in the Mayan lowland.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes and groundwater are sensitive—use reef-safe or biodegradable sunscreen to protect the aquifer and aquatic life.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are rough and often muddy; sturdy shoes protect against rocks and roots during the ride and short hikes.
Hydrate before you start
Humidity and physical activity add up—drink water before pickup and carry a small bottle if allowed by guides.
Follow the guide’s rules for ATV drivers
If you’re driving, stay within speed limits, maintain safe distance, and don’t attempt risky maneuvers on technical sections.
