Mayan Jungle ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen
Combine throttle and canopy on a five-hour Riviera Maya outing: roar through jungle trails on an ATV, fly across six ziplines over the treetops, then cool off with a swim in a sacred cenote. Practical rules, weight limits and optional insurance keep the focus on a safe, high-energy day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a chest/head GoPro strap
Phones and loose cameras are not allowed during ziplines or ATV use—secure a GoPro with straps to capture footage legally and safely.
Hydrate and snack beforehand
Five hours of activity in tropical heat requires water and a light snack; carry a reusable bottle and drink before you start riding.
Respect the cenote rules
Rinse off sunscreen if requested and avoid touching stalactites or rock walls to protect delicate formations.
Check the weight and age limits
Maximum rider weight is 264 lb and ATV riders must be at least 16—ask about insurance ($10 USD) if you want reduced liability.
