The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV trails are rocky and sandy—sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect toes and improve control.

Bring biodegradable sunscreen and repellent

Cenote water and local ecosystems are sensitive—use reef-safe products to protect water quality.

Pack a quick dry change of clothes

You’ll be wet after the cenote swim and dusty after the ATVs; a dry change keeps you comfortable for the return ride.

Know the weight and age limits

Ziplines and ATVs enforce limits (typically ~270–300 lbs) and only adults may drive; check rules before booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short coastal snorkel at Puerto Morelos reef—easy to add before or after the tour
  • Small off-route cenote pockets that are quieter than the main swim hole

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Cenote ecosystems are fragile—use biodegradable products, avoid touching formations, and follow guide instructions to limit impact.

Cenotes were central to Maya life and ritual; the Yucatán’s porous limestone created the underground rivers that fed settlements.
