Location and logistics
This tour operates out of Cancun but takes you to Puerto Morelos, about a 30-minute drive. Most travelers appreciate that pickup is offered, removing the hassle of arranging transportation, especially since the vehicle is air-conditioned and comfortable. The tour lasts about five hours, making it a manageable half-day adventure.
The itinerary explained
Stop 1: La Ruta de los Cenotes – The entire experience happens within this ecological park, where the natural beauty of Mayan jungle surrounds you. The main attraction is the combination of adrenaline-fueled activities set amidst lush greenery.
Horseback Riding – You’ll ride through the jungle on gentle horses, a highlight for many who enjoy a more relaxed, yet scenic experience. Multiple reviews mention the horses being sweet and well-behaved, though some note the ride is quite short—about 5 minutes—and geared more toward photo opportunities than a lengthy trot.
ATV Circuit – The all-terrain vehicles are designed for fun rather than speed, with a circuit through the same jungle trails. Several reviews point out that the ATVs are quite old, and the ride is more about the experience than high-speed thrills. Group size can influence the ride; some felt they didn’t get enough ‘gassing it’ time because the group was too large or the track was too narrow.
Ziplining and Spider Web – The zipline circuit includes four lines, some as short as 15 feet, but with the option to go upside down — fun for beginners. The web obstacle adds a playful element. Many find the ziplining suitable for first-timers and kids, but more experienced thrill-seekers might find it underwhelming.
Cenote Swim – The highlight for many is swimming in the cenote, complete with jumping platforms. The crystal-clear waters create a perfect cooling break, and the setting really captures that quintessential Mayan jungle vibe. Several guests mention the cenote as beautiful and refreshing.
The food and drinks
Lunch is included, generally consisting of chicken tacos with small tortillas and soft drinks. Some reviewers found the meal simple but tasty, though a few noted that the tortillas were cold. One reviewer was charged extra for a burger, which they felt was a bit pricey for a small kid’s portion. The inclusion of soft drinks is a nice touch, but extras — like cocktails or additional food — cost extra.

The overall experience
Many reviews praise the friendly guides like Arturo and Jose, describing them as helpful, supportive, and fun. The tour feels well-organized overall, but some travelers mention feeling rushed — especially with the limited time at each activity. The group size is capped at 20, which helps keep the experience intimate, but during peak times, it might feel a little crowded.
What travelers love
- Supportive staff and guides — many reviews highlight how guides like Flacco and Nacihn helped make the day enjoyable.
- Beautiful scenery — the jungle trails and cenote are a hit for their natural appeal.
- Good value — for approximately 5 hours of diverse activities, many see it as a cost-effective way to experience outdoor adventures near Cancun.
Considerations and drawbacks
Some reviews mention that activities can be somewhat rushed, especially for those wanting more time on horseback or ziplining. A few felt the zipline lengths and heights were modest, and the ATV experience was limited by the age of the equipment and group size. Safety concerns were raised by some, particularly regarding the old ATVs and group management.
Food quality received mixed feedback, with some finding it satisfactory and others noting it was basic. Also, the photopackage offered by the park can be a significant extra, and it’s important to know you can’t bring your own phone for photos during activities — which some may find restrictive.
Who is this tour best for?

This experience is perfect if you’re after a fast-paced, multi-activity outdoor adventure that captures the essence of jungle fun in a safe, guided environment. It works well for families with children who can handle the physical activities, as well as adventure newbies looking to try horseback riding or ziplining for the first time.
If you’re someone who values authentic natural scenery and doesn’t mind a bit of a rush, you’ll likely enjoy the mix of activities and the scenic cenote. However, if you’re a thrill-seeker craving longer zipline rides or high-speed ATV runs, this might feel a bit tame.
