Mayan Riviera Adrenaline: ATVs, Ziplines & Cenote Swim from Cancun
Drive ATVs through jungle tracks, launch across canopy ziplines and cool off in a limestone cenote on a four‑hour tour from Cancun. Ideal for travelers seeking a compact mix of speed, nature and cultural context.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
ATV tracks are dusty and rocky—sturdy closed-toe shoes improve control and protect your feet during the ride.
Use biodegradable sunscreen and repellent
Cenotes and local waterways are sensitive; choose reef-safe, biodegradable formulas to protect aquatic life.
Know the age and weight rules
Drivers must be 18+; ziplines cap at ~270 lbs and ATVs at ~300 lbs—double-check before booking.
Pack a small waterproof bag
Phones are restricted during activities and can get wet at the cenote—keep a dry pouch for essential items.

Conservation Note
Operators often ask guests to use biodegradable sunscreen, avoid touching stalactites, and stay on marked paths to reduce erosion and protect fragile cenote ecosystems.
Cenotes supplied freshwater to ancient Maya and were central to rituals; many sites today sit on limestone karst formed by collapsed cave systems.
