Cancun ATV, Zipline & Cenote Swim: Half-Day Mayan Jungle Adventure
Race through the Mayan jungle on an ATV, fly above the canopy on a zipline, then cool off in a crystal cenote. This half‑day trip from Cancún blends hands‑on adventure with cultural and geological insight along the Ruta de los Cenotes.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a waterproof bag
Protect phone, wallet, and spare clothes before the cenote swim; many operators don’t provide secure storage at the water site.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet during ATV sections and while walking to zipline platforms.
Budget the mandatory fee
A $30 USD per-person fee is usually payable on site at check‑in — carry cash in small denominations.
Time for the morning slot
Choose an early departure to avoid midday heat and to enjoy clearer water in the cenote and better light for photos.
