The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed‑toe shoes

ATV tracks are rocky and uneven—sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet and improve control.

Bring biodegradable sunscreen and repellent

Cenotes connect to freshwater systems—use reef‑ and water‑safe products to protect the ecosystem.

Plan for heat and timing

Morning departures are cooler and reduce the chance of afternoon showers during summer months.

Observe weight limits and health guidance

Ziplines and ATVs have strict weight and health restrictions; disclose injuries or pregnancy when booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside cenotes and freshwater pools just off the main route—ask guides for quieter spots.
  • The fishing village square in Puerto Morelos has low‑key seafood stands popular with locals after morning tours.

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Coatis and a variety of tropical birds

Conservation Note

Operators usually require biodegradable products and limit intrusion into cenote areas—follow guide instructions and pack out waste to protect fragile karst systems.
