A Thrilling Look at Cancun’s Jungle: ATV, Ziplines, and Cenote Tour
When you’re visiting Cancun, it’s tempting to stick with the beaches or explore ancient Mayan ruins. But if you’re after something with a bit more adrenaline and a lot of authentic fun, the ATV, Ziplines & Cenote tour from Mayan Jungle Rush offers a perfect blend. For just $48 per person, you get about 4 hours of action-packed adventure, including roundtrip transportation, a delicious lunch, and a tequila tasting to spice things up.
What’s great about this tour is how it combines multiple activities in one seamless experience. You’ll zip through canopy lines, bump over jungle trails on an ATV, then cool off in a stunning cenote, all with friendly guides and a group atmosphere that feels lively but not overwhelming. It’s a fantastic choice whether you’re traveling as a family, with friends, or even solo — everyone can join in the fun.
Two things we really like are the well-organized schedule and the variety of activities—each one offers its own thrill and photo-worthy moments. Plus, the inclusive lunch and tequila tasting add a relaxed, social touch that keeps everyone energized.
A possible consideration is how much physical activity is involved; you’ll want to ensure you’re comfortable with some walking, climbing, and water jumps. Also, while the price is quite reasonable, be aware that additional costs like insurance for the ATV or photos are extra. This tour is best suited for adventurous travelers of all ages who enjoy outdoor fun and don’t mind a bit of a thrill.

Ziplining and Hanging Bridges
The adventure kicks off with a series of 4 zipline circuits winding through the treetops. The experience isn’t just about the adrenaline — the views of the canopy are quite spectacular, with some reviewers noting how these moments make for great photos. The hanging bridges add a fun challenge, testing your balance while offering a different perspective of the jungle.
One guest shared, “Alex was our tour guide and he was the best! I did chicken out and didn’t do the zip line but my husband did and he enjoyed it.” This highlights that even if you’re a bit hesitant, most guides are supportive, and you can choose to skip certain activities without feeling left out.
ATV Ride Through the Jungle Trails
After descending from the canopy, it’s time for 30 minutes on an ATV. Riding through rugged jungle trails, you’ll bump over rocks and root-strewn paths, feeling connected to the wilderness. Many reviews mention how fun and safe the ATV experience is, especially with guides leading the way. “We had a blast on the ATV trail,” one guest said, emphasizing the exhilaration of this activity.
Note: The ATV is included in the price, but insurance is not; consider whether you want to pay for coverage if you’re concerned about accidents. The manageable difficulty and guided nature make it accessible to most.

The tour’s highlight might be the cenote, a stunning underground pool carved by water into limestone. Here, you can zipline into the water, cliff jump, or simply take the stairs into the cool depths. Many guests rave about how breathtaking and refreshing the cenote is, with one reviewer calling their daughter’s 20-foot jump “incredible.”
Be sure to bring bathing suits and water shoes, as jumping and climbing are part of the fun. Some guests mention that proper guidance on life vest fitting would improve the experience, reminding all to be attentive and ask for help if needed.
Lunch and Tequila Tasting
After the activities, everyone gathers back at the base for lunch—a simple but tasty meal of chicken fajitas. Many reviews praise the delicious food, with some calling it “great” and noting the friendly service.
