Tulum Full-Day: Zipline, Rappel, Cenote Snorkel & Ruins Adventure
Combine history and adrenaline on a single day trip to Tulum: explore cliff-top Maya ruins, fly seven zip lines through jungle canopy, rappel into forest, then snorkel a crystalline cenote. Practical safety, gear and timing make this a high-value active day on the Riviera Maya.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring biodegradable sunscreen
Sun is strong on the coast and in cenotes—use biodegradable SPF to protect reefs and comply with park rules.
Wear closed-toe shoes for zipline
Light hiking or athletic shoes protect toes on platforms and during short approaches to lines and rappel points.
Carry small cash
Cash is useful for photos, tips, and small purchases where cards aren’t accepted.
Know basic swim skills
You’ll snorkel in open cenote water—being comfortable treading and floating makes the experience smoother.
