Shared ATV, Zipline & Jaguar Cenote Adventure — Riviera Maya Day Trip
Combine off-road ATV tracks, a six-line zipline circuit and a swim in the crystalline Jaguar Cenote on a 5-hour shared excursion from Cancun. This day trip balances adrenaline and natural quiet with an open-fire lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive — use reef-safe sunscreen to protect water quality and local fauna.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy, closed shoes protect feet on ATVs and during short jungle walks between platforms.
Hydrate before and after
Start hydrated and sip water during breaks; the mix of sun and exertion can deplete you quickly.
Secure loose items
Ziplining and ATV dust can dislodge phones, hats and sunglasses—use straps or leave valuables locked in the vehicle.

Conservation Note
Operators often limit group size and require biodegradable products to protect water quality; support guides who practice leave-no-trace and avoid single-use plastics.
Cenotes were central to ancient Maya communities for water and ritual; many along the Riviera Maya formed naturally as the limestone bedrock collapsed and filled with groundwater.
