Half-Day ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure From Cancun

Half-Day ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure From Cancun

Race ATVs through the Mayan jungle, fly above the canopy on a zipline and cool off in a limestone cenote — all in a five‑hour loop with hotel pickup from Cancun. This half‑day tour blends adrenaline with a local lunch and the karst geology that defines the Riviera Maya.

The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before you go

Bring at least 1L of water and drink before and after high-energy sections; heat can spike quickly under the canopy.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV tracks are rocky and may be muddy; sturdy trainers or trail shoes protect feet and improve control.

Bring cash

Vendors and small operations in the park may not accept cards, so carry small bills for tips or extras.

Time your booking

Book morning departures to avoid peak heat and enjoy clearer water in the cenote; afternoons can be busier.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask to pause at a quiet cenote rim away from the main swim area for clearer water and fewer people
  • Spot a small interpretive trail near the parking area that highlights local medicinal plants and traditional uses

Wildlife

  • Great kiskadee (bird)
  • Howler monkeys (distant calls may be heard)

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths, avoid sunscreen/lotion before entering cenotes, and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and protect fragile karst systems.

Cenotes were vital in Mayan cosmology and settlement patterns; many local parks preserve access to these freshwater sinks that once sustained villages.
