The Experience

Before You Go

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply mineral-based sunscreen before boarding—chemical sunscreens harm coral and many operators require reef-safe products.

Bring closed-toe shoes

ATV and jungle trail sections need sturdy, closed-toe footwear to protect toes from debris and provide grip.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Carry a refillable water bottle and sip between activities—combining sun, saltwater and adrenaline can dehydrate you faster than you think.

Follow weight and age limits

Operators enforce zipline and ATV limits (max zipline weight ~265 lbs); check in advance if you have concerns about eligibility.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk Puerto Morelos’ pier at sunset for local fishers bringing in the catch
  • Ask guides about the cenote’s freshwater visibility spots where light creates clear pools and natural swim lanes

Wildlife

  • Green sea turtle
  • Parrotfish

Conservation Note

Operators often include a small conservation fee; choose reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral, and support local guides to minimize impact.

The reef and cenotes are products of Holocene sea-level change and Puerto Morelos developed as a fishing village before tourism shaped its economy.
