A Really Fun Experience

We had a great time. The activities were really fun, and everything felt well organized. The scenery was beautiful, and each activity had something different that made the day even more enjoyable. I especially want to mention our guide, Diego, who was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole experience. He also made the activities even more fun and explained everything clearly. If you're thinking about doing this tour, I definitely recommend it. It’s a great option for spending a different and fun day with friends

A unique and adrenaline-filled experience, I loved it!

My family and I had an amazing time on this tour! Driving the speedboat was so much fun and definitely the highlight of the day.

Chichén Itzá & Beyond: Private Tour with ATV Adventure in Izamal

pachilopez, Jul 2026

Wonderful private tours for 3 senior women

We had 3 customized tours with Jaguar Journey that made our trip to the Yucatan unforgettable. We are 3 senior women who are experienced international travelers. Our tours met our expectations to be well informed of historical and current cultures. We visited Chichén Itzá, Coba, Tulum and swam in 3 unique cenotes. In Cancun we learned about Mayan culture at the Museum. Our guide, Ariann, treated us like family. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious. We were well cared for and felt safe at all times.

Ultimate Adventure Combo ATV, Ziplines and Cenote

O8057ZPkarinar, Jun 2026

Friendly and hardworking staff made experience enjoyable

Everyone who took part in the experience was very friendly and helpful! Including the drivers, the guides, photographer, etc. I can’t swim and still had fun and felt safe! Most notably H as a guide on the excursion and Carlos Bonilla at MTS. Carlos made booking very easy and communicated everything I should expect, pickup times, and anything I would have to bring with me on the excursion. I would recommend!

Tulum ruins, Swim with turtles and Cenote from Riviera Maya

Brittany_J, Jun 2026

Trip of a lifetime. This company is gold⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an absolutely incredible experience. Mark our guide was fantastic and very professional. It was perfect from start to finish. Had water and snacks for the bus accompanied by a lovely local lunch homemade tacos which were delicious. I felt like the entire day was super busy but executed really well. Tulum ruins was fascinating, turtle swimming at a lovely and sea area (with a professional photographer) then ending at a cooling and wonderful Cenotes in the middle of a jungle that was owned by locals! I honestly felt like a mermaid. What an experience. We just absolutely loved it. 10/10. Thank you! 7/8 hours approximately which is much more bearable than other trips that are 12 hours +. If you can’t decide a trip, this is definitely the one for you to get a glimpse of everything this part of Mexico has to offer.
