Cancun ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure: Jungle Ride, Aerial Canopy & Cave Swim
Throttle through jungle trails, fly across a verdant canopy on zip lines and cool off in a cavern cenote on this five‑hour adventure from Cancun. Expect a 40‑minute ATV circuit, four ziplines, two suspension bridges and a guided cenote swim.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed‑toe shoes
ATV trails are muddy and rooty; sturdy sneakers or lightweight hiking shoes protect feet and improve control.
Carry a dry bag
Keep phones, documents and a light layer dry during the cenote swim and any sudden splashes on the ATVs.
Hydrate before departure
The tropical heat and physical activity demand extra water—drink well before pickup and accept provided breaks.
Bring ID for ATV drivers
A valid driver's license is required to drive an ATV solo or with a companion; bring it to check in.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Operators typically encourage reef‑safe sunscreen and minimal plastic use; stick to marked paths to reduce erosion and avoid touching cave formations to protect delicate limestone and aquatic life.
Cenotes formed when collapsed limestone exposed groundwater; the Maya regarded many cenotes as freshwater sources and ritual sites, a fact guides often reference during visits.
