Tulum ATVs, Zipline & Cenote Adventure — Jungle Rides, High Flights and a Refreshing Swim
Throttle, harness, and a crystalline cenote—this half-day Tulum circuit pairs high-speed ATV loops and the area’s tallest zipline with a swim in a hidden sinkhole. It’s an efficient, physical taste of the Yucatán’s jungle and subterranean waters.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are rough and rocky; sturdy shoes protect feet and improve control on the bike.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep your phone, cash, and a lightweight towel dry during the ATV and zipline segments.
No sunscreen in the cenote
Use reef-safe sunscreen and rinse off before entering to protect delicate cave ecosystems.
Hydrate before and after
The heat and activity add up—drink water during pickup and refill before the cenote swim.
