Half-Day Cancun Adventure: Horseback Riding, ATV, Zipline & Cenote Tour
Combine horseback riding, a five-line zipline circuit, an ATV jungle loop and a swim in a natural cenote on a single half-day near Cancún. This active, guided outing mixes Mayan geology and hands-on thrills with transport and safety gear included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking boots protect feet during the ATV section and while mounting horses; flip‑flops aren’t allowed.
Bring a dry bag
Keep phones and cameras safe during the cenote swim and any sudden rain; small waterproof pouches work well.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Regular sunscreens can harm freshwater ecosystems — choose reef‑safe or biodegradable formulas when swimming in cenotes.
Know the limits
Weight and height restrictions apply (max 110 kg for ziplines & horses, min height ~1 m for horseback); pregnant guests and those with back/heart issues should skip.

Conservation Note
Cenotes are sensitive freshwater systems — avoid sunscreen and lotion in the water, use provided rinse stations, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
Cenotes are collapsed limestone sinkholes that exposed groundwater and were vital to Mayan communities for water, agriculture, and ritual offerings.
