Cancun Jungle Off‑Road Adventure: ATVs, Ziplines & Cenote Swim
Ride ATVs through jungle trails, fly over the canopy on ziplines, and cool off with a plunge into a cenote on this half‑day Cancun adventure. Expect bilingual guides, safety gear provided, and a locally inspired meal to round out the experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and drink beforehand—the heat and gasoline fumes can dehydrate you quickly.
Bring closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect your feet on dusty, uneven ATV trails and during short hikes.
Protect the cenote
Use biodegradable sunscreen and rinse off oils before entering the cenote to minimize chemical impact on the water.
Have cash for local fees
Bring small bills (MXN or USD) for local taxes, tips, or purchases at the site since some taxes are cash-only on arrival.
