Riviera Maya 2-Day Adventure: Tulum & Coba, Cenotes, ATVs, Zipline and Horseback
Two days of Mayan history, jungle adrenaline and crystalline cenotes: explore Tulum and Coba, then switch gears to horseback, ATVs, ziplines and two sinkholes. Expect full days, active terrain and clear rules on driver age and weight limits.
The Experience
Before You Go
Footwear for mixed terrain
Closed-toe shoes with a good tread are essential for ATVs, horseback entry and uneven ruins paths.
Bring biodegradable sunscreen & repellent
Use reef-safe sunscreen and biodegradable insect repellent to protect cenotes and local ecosystems.
Hydrate during long transit
Carry a refillable bottle—you’ll be outdoors for hours between stops and heat can build quickly.
Follow weight & age limits
Drivers must be 18+; check the posted weight limits for ATVs, ziplines and horses before booking.
