Combo 3 in 1 ATV (shared) Ziplines & Cenote in Puerto Morelos

shaylynr2025, May 2025

10/10 Customer Service

This tour exceeded my expectations. We had so much fun and all of the staff were so kind and helpful. The complimentary Tequila tasting was a great added bonus. We bought the most delicious strawberry infused tequila. The lunch that was included was amazing as well. The most outstanding part: we left the bottle of tequila we purchased on the table after we had lunch. It was wrapped up in a bag and when it was time to get to our bus to leave we were in such a rush we forgot to grab it. I texted Omar Canto, who I had spoken with before when confirming the booking, and I emailed the ATV park directly asking, or rather begging, them to help us out and see if a driver could bring it with them the next time they go to the pickup location near our hotel. I knew that was a long shot. We forgot it and that's 100% on us, so I didn't expect to get help. I just hoped for it. And after a few hours, Omar and the venue had both contacted me willing to help is out. Omar took point and orchestrated the return of our bottle and I cannot even begin to express my gratitude. It was my birthday that day, and that bottle was my birthday present. So it really meant a lot to have it back. 10/10 I recommend this company for tours. We did 2 tours with them and both were incredible and the customer service is unmatched.

The Only tour worth taking!

Our tour guides Axel & Pepe were AMAZING!!!! They were so patient with our younger children & still managed to challenge our teenagers. They were extremely knowledgeable about the environment, turtles, birds, flora and the ecosystem. We learned so much, had an amazing swim with the turtles, sting ray & at the Cenotes - best trip ever!

ATV’s Shared, Ziplines & Cenote! Half-Day from Cancun

Richard_T, Nov 2022

A Half-Day of fun and Excitement Coordinated by Cool Cancun and Altustours

Our day with Altustours, arranged by Cool Cancun, was far more memorable than we expected. The Altustours staff made every effort to ensure our safety and enjoyment on the zip-lines, the ATV riding, and our swim and diving at the Cenote. Our day started with a van picking up up from the lobby of our hotel. The driver was kind and helpful. The trip to the site was enjoyable and we felt totally safe. Once at the site, the local staff seemed determined to accommodate us in every way we wanted. The zip line part of our day was explained to us in detail and the staff carefully helped each of us into our harnesses. Once on the platforms, a staff member connected our harnesses to the lines and repeated the instructions given before we reached the platforms. As we reached the next platforms, a staff member helped us gain our footing on the platform, release our lines, and told us how to move toward the next platform. I never experienced even a moment of apprehension. The staff exercise the same care and concern for us when we boarded our ATVs. We were schooled in how to accelerate, brake and steer the vehicles. The staff ensured that we all wore well-fitting helmets and coached us in how to steer through both dry and wet terrain. My family had a great time. I recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to enjoy and thrilling day with a 1/2 hour drive from Cancun.

Beautiful locations. Great day in the water!

Our driver and guide were so friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to spend the day with them. The cenote was wonderful and the lagoon was so beautiful...like something out of a fairy tale. We loved snorkeling with the fish and exploring the lagoon. Highly recommend this tour.
