Tulum Adrenaline Adventure: ATVs, Ziplines & Cenote Swim
A compact jungle charge outside Tulum combines an ATV loop, five ziplines (including a water drop), a 13‑ft rappel, and a refreshing cenote swim. Expect safety-focused guides, a brief Mayan ceremony, and a full sensory contrast between engine rumble and cavern-cold water.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are rough and the zipline platforms require stable footing—sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect your ankles.
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
The cenote and jungle are ecologically sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect water quality and local wildlife.
Secure valuables in provided lockers
Guides provide lockers for phones and wallets—avoid taking loose electronics on ATVs or ziplines.
Hydrate before and after
Six hours of sun and activity deplete fluids quickly; drink water ahead and take advantage of bottled water included on the tour.
