Tulum Xtreme: Zipline, Rappel & Cenote Snorkel Adventure
Combine a guided tour of the Tulum ruins with an adrenaline-packed jungle circuit: seven ziplines, a 20 m rappel into a cenote and snorkeling through an underground river. This full-day trip blends Mayan history, karst geology and hands-on adventure with hotel pickup and lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate Before and During
Bring a refillable water bottle—the tour provides a 500 ml bottle but tropical heat and activity demand more fluids throughout the day.
Use Biodegradable Sunscreen
Cenotes are sensitive ecosystems; use reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen and apply sparingly before entering the water.
Wear Grip Shoes
Closed-toe, grippy shoes or light hiking shoes are best for the zipline platforms and walking between activities.
Know the Limits
Weight limit is 135 kg (300 lb) and basic swimming skills are required; disclose health or pregnancy issues when booking.

Conservation Note
Operators encourage biodegradable sunscreen and minimal plastic use; visitors should follow guide instructions to protect fragile cave formations and cenote ecosystems.
Tulum was a Late Postclassic Maya trading port built on exposed coral limestone; nearby cenotes formed when the soluble rock collapsed, creating freshwater caves central to Mayan ritual life.
