The Experience
Before You Go
Closed‑toe shoes only
ATV trails are rocky and can be muddy; sturdy closed‑toe shoes protect feet and improve control on the quad.

Cenotes and mangroves are sensitive—use reef‑safe products to protect water quality and local wildlife.
Know the weight and age limits
ATV drivers must be 18+ to drive solo; ziplines and ATVs have weight limits (typically ~270–300 lbs); check operator rules before booking.

For safety, guides usually require phones and loose items to be stowed; bring a small dry bag or leave valuables on the van.
