Tulum’s Adventure Duo: ATVs, Ziplines, and Cenotes

If you’re craving a day packed with adrenaline and natural beauty, this 5-hour tour in Tulum is a fantastic choice. For $188.35 per person, you’ll explore the lush jungle, zip across the treetops on Mexico’s highest zipline, ride rugged ATVs through scenic trails, and take a refreshing dip in hidden cenotes. Plus, the tour includes private transportation, snacks, bottled water, and all equipment—which means you can focus on having fun without stressing over logistics.
Two things we love about this experience are the breathtaking views from the zipline—which give you an eagle-eye perspective of the Tulum jungle—and the opportunity to swim in remote cenotes that most travelers never get to see. The combination of adventure and nature really makes for a memorable day. That said, it’s worth noting that the tour is physically demanding, so it’s best suited for active travelers comfortable with outdoor activities. If you want a fast-paced, immersive day combining thrill-seeking with a taste of local flavor, this tour is a good fit.
One possible consideration is the duration—at around five hours, it’s a full morning, so travelers with limited time or who prefer a more relaxed pace might want to plan accordingly. Also, since the tour is private, it offers a personalized experience, which can be a big plus for families or small groups seeking exclusivity.
This tour is ideal for adventure lovers and nature enthusiasts who don’t mind a bit of physical activity and are eager to see some of Tulum’s most exciting sights in one go. If you’re looking for an active day out that balances thrill with authenticity, this experience delivers.

A Detailed Look at the Experience

The Pickup and Start
Your adventure begins early—around 8:00 am—with private transportation picking you up from your hotel or designated meeting point. This convenience means no fuss about navigating Tulum’s sometimes tricky streets or waiting around for a group. Once you’re aboard, the journey to your adventure starts smoothly, setting the tone for a relaxed, tailored experience.
The Zipline Thrill
The highlight for many is undoubtedly the highest zipline in Tulum. As you clip into the line, anticipation builds, but once you’re soaring over the canopy, the view makes every second worth it. You’ll enjoy a thrilling ride and a chance to see the jungle from a perspective few get to experience. The guide (who’s knowledgeable and friendly) will ensure safety and give you tips to maximize your fun.
ATV Adventure
Following the zipline, the tour transitions to the newest ATV ride, which is designed for adventure lovers and daredevils. The trail takes you through lush greenery, providing both excitement and a chance to see Tulum’s natural landscape up close. The team supplies all equipment, so you only need to focus on steering and enjoying the ride. We loved how the trail’s terrain varied, keeping things interesting—and a bit challenging at times, which is perfect for thrill-seekers.
