Puerto Morelos ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Cancun
A five-hour jungle loop from Cancún to Puerto Morelos combining ATV tracks, canopy ziplines and a swim in a Mayan cenote. Fast-paced and practical, this tour mixes instruction with adrenaline and a cool freshwater finish.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect feet during ATV sections and while walking around wet rocks at the cenote.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before swimming—the guides will ask you to avoid contaminants in the cenote.
Secure loose items
Phone straps and small dry bags keep cameras and keys from bouncing off ATVs or zipping away on the lines.
Watch the weather forecast
Heavy rains can make trails slippery; earlier departures reduce the chance of afternoon storms, especially during hurricane season.
