Riviera Maya ATV, Zipline & Cenote Half-Day Adventure
Spend a half day in the Riviera Maya tearing through jungle trails on an ATV, flying short ziplines above the canopy, and cooling off in a freshwater cenote. This combined adventure packs driving, flying and a swim into a single, guided outing with transport and lunch included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear quick-dry layers
A swimsuit under lightweight clothing and quick-dry shorts keep you comfortable through ATVs, ziplines and a cenote swim.
Secure electronics
Use a small drybag or leave cameras on the bus—ATV dust and cenote water can ruin gear.
Hydrate before you go
Drink water in the morning; the combination of sun and physical activity dehydrates quickly.
Listen to the safety briefing
Helmets, harnesses and life jackets are standard—follow staff instructions for a smooth, safe experience.
