The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and after

Tropical heat and exertion on ATVs and ziplines make pre-trip hydration important; bring a refillable bottle for the break after the cenote swim.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV sections have uneven, dusty tracks—sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet and improve control.

Pack a quick-dry swimsuit and small towel

You’ll want a swim ready when you arrive; a lightweight towel fits in provided lockers and dries fast.

Secure personal items

Cameras and phones are not allowed during active sections—use provided lockers or a small dry bag for post-activity photos.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Look for small rock ledges near the cenote rim where freshwater streams trickle—good spots to observe dragonflies and small fish.
  • Take a short walk on the peripheral trails after the tour to find quieter birding spots where toucans often perch early in the morning.

Wildlife

  • Keel-billed toucan
  • Howler monkey

Conservation Note

The park charges conservation fees and enforces rules (no sunscreen in some cenotes, limited visitor numbers) to protect fragile freshwater and jungle habitats.

Cenotes were integral to Mayan life—both practical water sources and ritual sites—and the karst landscape here formed over millennia as limestone dissolved to create underground caverns.

Common Questions

What are the age and weight limits?

Minimum age for activities is 4 years; to drive an ATV you must be 18+ as a single rider or 16+ when accompanied by an adult; maximum zipline weight is about 120 kg (265 lb).

Is transport included and how long is the transfer?

Round-trip transportation from most hotels is included; travel from Cancun or Playa del Carmen typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on your hotel and traffic.

Can I take photos during the activities?

For safety the use of personal cameras and phones is restricted during active elements; lockers are provided for personal items and guides can often take photos at select photo points.

What should I wear and expect for fitness?

Wear closed-toe shoes, a swimsuit under quick-dry clothes, and bring a change of clothes; a basic level of fitness is sufficient but you should be comfortable with short climbs, standing on an ATV, and swimming in freshwater.
