Cancun Mega Combo: Horseback Riding, ATV, Ziplines, Cenote

Hamiltoncustomer, Aug 2026

We had a great time here!

We had a great time here!! It was beautiful and every single one of the staff were great. They were fun and engaging with all. We did the zip lines, atv, and cenote with lunch- we were very happy with the value for the price! We felt safe as well. For the cenote there were multiple entrances depending on your comfort level- we jumped in but you could also take stairs down. The food surpassed our expectations too, it was all freshly made and delicious. There was also some shopping you could do and a bar and such on site if you were interested. I’d recommend for sure!

Great family adventure.

Great family experience. Didn’t do the zip lines but loved the ATVs! Horseback Rosie was great (provided your horse isn’t hangry like mine was…stubborn & feisty…as my son said to me “the horse chooses the rider…). The cenote was stunning. Chilly yet refreshing, great chance to rinse off the dirt from the atv & horses. Didn’t do the jump in but loved watching the bats flying around the cave. Our guide Alejandro (Alex) was fantastic. Absolutely hilarious and generous in time and energy. Cheers to you!

Worth the experience!

Chile, our tour guide, was the best! My husband and I with our 3 kids under 15 years old and had an amazing time. The ATV rides the ziplining the tequila tasting, the cenote, and the food and the mayan "rollercoaster" at the end was amazing! Highly recommend if you can keep up with the activities. The VIP experience was well worth it! Small group of 15 people was assumingly less chaotic than general admission. Gracias Chile y La Extreme Adventure familia!

Great experience!!

This place was beautiful and breathtaking. Definitely worth the money and the time. Our group was big enough to encourage interaction but small enough that you felt comfortable asking questions and felt like you were heard. Luis P. was our guide and he was AMAZING! Definitely recommend!! We were on a family trip and it was very engaging.

A unique Mayan experience

If you'd like to explore a more spiritual, one-of-a-kind experience, look no further. Oscar and team made sure we're prepared, everything was well explained and we had a brilliant time! It's a challenge, the good kind, I think it's important to prepare yourself already in the head. The cenote in the night time was magical, we also had a light dinner - my only feedback is, ut would be great if they could provide a vegetarian option.

Casa Tortugas cenotes, Tulum Mayan site and Madre Naturaleza tour

pameladN6839EU, Jun 2026

I loved the cenote and the day; highly recommended.

We did this tour as a family and had such a great time together. Visiting the Tulum ruins was really special, the views were absolutely beautiful and our guide shared lots of interesting stories without making it feel like a history class. Casa Tortuga was definitely our favorite part. Every cenote was different, and the kids had so much fun swimming and exploring. It was the perfect way to cool off after walking around Tulum. We also loved being surrounded by nature all day, it felt peaceful and relaxing. Everything was well organized, the guides were friendly, and we never felt rushed. It was one of those days we'll always remember, and we're so glad we chose this tour.
