Airboat and ATV Jungle Adventure Combo in Cancun

387sariahb, Jun 2026

Best excursion

We had an amazing time doing this excursion. We booked the 10am slot so we had an hotel pick up at 0830. The van driver was so nice and kept mild conversation. We did the atv section first that was guided the entire time so there was no chance to get lost. The airboat took us to a remote beach and we were there about 30 minutes. We got two mini bottles of water between each activity and a soda with our snack before we headed back to the hotel. The snack was a chicharron with all the toppings. Definitely do not miss out on this experience because of the lack of reviews they are newer. The photo package was 35 dollars for 22 pictures and you can take your own photos durning the airboat section .

3 adrenaline activities Atvs Zipline and a swim experience in a cenote

Alexander_W, May 2026

Great experience. Getting there and back is tough.

The ATV, Cenote cave swim, and zip lines are a lot of Fun. The Cenote swim is amazing. Just to note bring bug spray or pay 20 usd$ there for a can. You will also have to pay a locker fee of 5$, and insurance of 5$ per atv. It rained when we were there so there is no dust. So no bandana needed. We left from RIU Cancun and it took us 2 hours to get there. The final miles is very bumpy. On the way back the shuttle overheated and we were stuck in the middle of the highway for about 40 minutes till another shuttle could pick us up and it smelled like cigarettes.

Reptile and Amphibian Night Adventure in Yucatán Jungle

lizpR3493LZ, Apr 2026

Tree frogs and much more

I went on this tour to see frogs, and I got to see so much more! Carlos changed course to make sure I got to see the amphibians I came for, and we saw owls, poorwills, scorpions, tarantulas, bats, a grey fox, a possum, and a snake in addition to the variated tree frogs we found. Very unique experience that I recommend for anyone hoping to see the kinds of animals that come out at night.

Scorpions, owls and frogs - oh, my

An excellent experience. Carlos was an outstanding naturalist and enthusiastic guide who shared his knowledge and passion for the Yucatán. Seeing the mating dance of the black scorpion was incredible and definitely something I will never forget. Also seen, Mottled Owl, tree frogs, python, Gray Fox, Turkey Vulture, chihuahua

Jungle Tour and Mayan Experience in Cancun with Lunch

yuey524, Apr 2026

So fun at Ek Balam and Cenote!

Our guide Saúl ramos suggested this EkBalam + Cenote tour for us and it was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet and relaxing experience with a wonderful day guide, the guide was knowledgeable and covered many details of the Ek Balam. Additionally the Cenote we stopped by was beautiful and relatively less busy. We had a great time enjoying ourselves swimming in there.We highly recommend MTS and also this tour as it is very enjoyable and worth the price.Also we recommend Saúl ramos he is very friendly and warm hearted, gave me many suggestions for the tours and also things to do around the city.Amazing!!

Tequila Tasting, Cenote, Horseback Riding, ATV, Ziplines & Lunch

947stephaniel, Dec 2025

Pay for All Four Activites

Get the package, which includes ATV riding, zip lining, horseback riding, and a visit to the Cenote. While I am not a swimmer, the Cenote was my favorite, followed by the horseback riding. I have experienced more difficult and scenic zip lines. This was my first time on an ATV. While it was my least favorite, Angel (also known as Pollo) was the best driver and managed to avoid the muddy puddles. He and the crew ensured we were safe and comfortable for all the activities.

Another Great Day!

Another great day with “Tours With Mike”. We had such a great experience the first time, we came back again the next day. Ivan took great care of us and took the time to tell us all about Tulum. Having a personal tour guide with “Tours With Mike” is definitely the best and highly recommended. Thank you Ivan!!

Xplor Park All-Inclusive with Transportation from Playa del Carmen and Cancun

HEATHER_S, Nov 2025

Would book again!!

Xplor was a great time! First round on the vehicles (John Deere sxs) we didn’t get wet at all so we asked for the wet/fun track; 2nd one was way better! Zip lines and waterslide were great! Underwater exploration took at least an hour from start to finish; we’d skip that next time. Hammock splash was fun but expect to feel like you’re getting a colon flush 😂 Buffet has a ton of options. Overall if was a great day and transportation was very easy!

Park Xcaret Plus with Transportation from Cancun and Riviera Maya

Mexico sensacional show xcaret

If you visit the Hoteles Xcaret, be sure to visit the park, especially the Park show at 7 p.m. It's a spectacle designed to delight us and teach us even more about Mexico. I was impressed; I recommend it. You won't regret it.

Tulum Deluxe Experience! Coba, Cenote Kuxtal and Playa del Carmen

marisS7493YC, Aug 2025

It was wonderful tour!!

The tour was very packed with content. Our guide Florence was very kind. Even though I was participating alone, she paid attention to each and every one of us. Tulum is hot, and you can't bring in bottled drinks, so you need a reusable bottle. I was able to have a valuable experience that would have been impossible to do alone in a single day.
