Riviera Maya ATV, Ziplines & Underground Cenote Adventure
Combine ziplines, an off‑road ATV route and a swim in a dramatic underground cenote on a five‑hour Riviera Maya outing. Expect canopy views, muddy tracks, and a cooling cave plunge with bilingual guides and transport included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a change of clothes
You’ll likely get wet and muddy after the cenote swim and ATV section — pack a dry set for the ride back.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen only after the ATV portion to protect gear and cenotes from contaminants.
Know the driving rules
Drivers must meet age and weight limits and will receive a quick safety briefing — be honest about experience and follow the guide.
Hydrate before the tour
Tropical heat and exertion add up; drink water before departure and carry a refillable bottle.

Conservation Note
Cenotes are ecologically sensitive; choose operators that require reef‑safe products, avoid soaps in fresh water, and follow leave‑no‑trace rules.
Cenotes are part of the Yucatán’s karst landscape and were central to Maya water systems and rituals; many sites near Cancun sit on land with long local use.
