Riviera Maya Adrenaline Combo: ATV, Zipline & Cenote Adventure from Cancún

Three classic Riviera Maya thrills in one half‑day: tear through jungle trails on a shared ATV, fly above the canopy on ziplines, then cool off in a semi‑open cenote. This combo balances speed, views and a dose of local history.

The Experience

Before You Go

Bring biodegradable sunscreen

Cenote water is delicate—use reef/biodegradable sunscreen to avoid harming underwater ecosystems.

Wear closed‑toe shoes

ATV sections and zipline platforms need secure footwear; sandals are not suitable for the off‑road portion.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Tropical humidity and back‑to‑back activities can spike heart rate—drink water before boarding and carry electrolytes if prone to cramping.

Secure your GoPro properly

Only chest or head strap GoPros are allowed and must be attached per staff instructions to prevent loss or accidents.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about small freshwater pools near the cenote rim where fish congregate.
  • Stop at a local fruit stand on the return for fresh coconut water and regional snacks.

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers, motmots)

Conservation Note

Guests are asked to use biodegradable products and avoid entering cenotes with sunscreens or lotions that can harm aquatic life; operators often enforce capacity and rinse rules to protect water quality.

Cenotes were sacred to the Maya and served as water sources and ritual sites; their karst origins shape much of the Yucatán landscape.
