The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive in swimwear

Wear quick-dry swimwear under clothing to switch quickly between ziplines, ATVs and the cenote.

Bring cash for lockers and tips

Small cash is useful for lockers, snacks, and tipping guides; card machines can be unreliable in remote parks.

Hydrate before arrival

Drink water before pickup—the heat and adrenaline can dehydrate you quickly during activities.

Secure loose items

Leave jewelry and loose electronics on the van or in a locked locker; straps and pockets can fail on ziplines and ATVs.
