The Experience
Before You Go
Bring cash — cards often not accepted
Many operators and small vendors do not accept credit cards; carry Mexican pesos for upgrades, snacks and tips.
Wear closed-toe shoes you don’t mind getting muddy
ATV trails are often dusty or muddy—sturdy sneakers or light boots protect your feet and improve control.
Use reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent
Biodegradable sunscreen protects coral and cenote water; apply before arrival to avoid reapplying in sensitive areas.
Hydrate and eat a light meal beforehand
The activity combines physical exertion across sun and shade—drink water and bring a small snack if prone to low blood sugar.
