Riviera Maya ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen

The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV sections are dusty and rocky—sturdy, closed-toe footwear prevents foot injuries and improves control.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive aquatic systems—choose reef-safe sunscreen and apply before arrival to protect water quality.
Know the weight & age limits
Drivers must be at least 16; participants must weigh between 55–240 lb—check limits before booking to avoid issues at check-in.
Bring a dry bag or secure phone case
Trails, ziplines and the cenote swim can jostle or soak your gear—protect electronics and documents.

Conservation Note
Operators typically request biodegradable products and no soaps in cenotes; visitors should follow stick-to-trails rules and avoid bringing single-use plastics into natural areas.
Cenotes were vital fresh-water sources and held ritual importance for the pre-Hispanic Maya; their presence is a direct result of the Yucatán’s porous limestone and collapsed cave systems.
