Beautiful Caribbean views with plenty of sea turtles swimming in crystal clear waters

Overall a good experience, fabulous vistas, and service once on the boat. Had to take a small launcha from docks to boat off shore---sitting on small fiberglass bench was a bit uncomfortable.

Daliza_A, Jul 2026

Amazing!!!

This excursion was AMAZING and easily one of the highlights of our trip! Miguel was our tour guide, and he was an absolute vibe. His energy was unmatched, he was super knowledgeable, and he kept the group engaged and laughing the entire time. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, which made the experience even better.The excursion included access to three stunning cenotes, a tequila tasting, and tacos, which made it such a great value. Each cenote was beautiful and unique, and getting to swim in them was unforgettable. We also got to watch a real Mayan performance, which was such a cool cultural experience and something I wasn’t expecting.One thing to keep in mind is that it’s definitely a tourist attraction, so expect vendors throughout the experience trying to sell souvenirs, photos, and other extras. If you go in knowing that, it’s easy to just enjoy everything else.Overall, this excursion was 100% worth it. Between the breathtaking cenotes, delicious food, fun tequila tasting, cultural performances, and Miguel’s incredible energy, it was an unforgettable experience. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We had a delightful day with Jose Gill! He is very knowledgeable and kind. Our highlight of the day was the ferriginous pigmy owl, which we told him was a bird we would love to see.

Action-packed Cancun ATV tour, Ziplines, Cenote, Lunch and More

agrosa2021, Jun 2026

A great value

I was searching for things to do and noticed this tour. This is a really great half-day trip. The pickup spot in downtown Cancun was smooth and the drive was an hour from the city center. I went by myself, but we had a group of 12 in the van which is a smart size so that the activities are not overcrowded.The 10 or so minutes on the ATV was a lot more fun than I expected, and it is honestly a good thing that they require you to put your belongings in a locker because the trail is bumpy and belongings could easily be lost or damaged. Bring your own protective glasses (sunglasses) and a face covering (I just tied my spare shirt around my face), else you will need to purchase one there.The four zip-line course was quick but entertaining, and suitable for all ages. Once again, you keep things in your locker so as to not lose them.I personally do not drink, but everyone enjoyed the tequila tasting.I did not go horseback riding, instead opting to spend more time in the cenote. There is a platform from which you can jump from the opening of the cenote into the pool below. And it is very cool to see all the bats flying around and small fishing swimming.The quick lunch at the end was a nice way to wrap up the day, during which you can review and purchase the photos that the staff took, after which the van takes you back to where you were picked up.I think I spent ~$100 USD between the booking, park fee, taxes, and tip. I really enjoyed myself, and it would not have been as special if it hadn't been for the great team that coordinated everything. Much appreciation to them.

Adventure in the Jungle: ATV experience, Ziplines & Cenote Swim

Lesliedaniela, Jun 2026

Amazing experience!

This was an awesome experience and our guide Alan was there every step of the way to make sure that my husband and 14-year-old and felt comfortable the entire time when it came to swimming in the cenote, zip lining, and ATV riding. My only piece of advice would be to bring or buy gear to not get dust in your face for the ATV rides.
