What’s Included and What’s Not

This tour offers a solid package: roundtrip transportation from your hotel or meeting point, a Mayan ceremony to set a meaningful tone, and all your adventure activities—double ATV ride, rappelling, zip lines, and swimming in a cenote. You’ll also enjoy a regional Mexican lunch, which many travelers find to be delicious and satisfying after a morning of activity.

The Itinerary in Detail

The day begins with pickup at one of three locations—Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Cancún—making it accessible for most travelers in the Riviera Maya. The transfer takes around 40 minutes, giving you some time to relax or chat with fellow adventurers before arriving at the venue.

Once in Tulum, your guided tour kicks off with a Mayans’ spiritual ceremony, a meaningful ritual that’s more than just a photo op; it’s a chance to connect with local traditions. From there, the real fun begins: your double ATV tour takes you along hidden jungle paths, winding past lush foliage and possibly wildlife. This is a highlight for many, as it offers a taste of off-the-beaten-path exploration.

Next, you’ll rappel down a 4-foot height—short but enough to get your adrenaline going—and then fly over the landscape on five zip lines, including one crossing a water trail, which adds a splash of thrill and a lovely view of the surrounding nature. The water zipline is especially praised for its unique perspective.

The cooling, crystal-clear waters of the cenote are the perfect spot to relax after your adventures. Many reviews mention how refreshing and beautiful the cenote is, with its tranquil waters framed by stalactites and lush greenery. You’ll be provided with a life vest, making the swim accessible and safe.

The day wraps up with a hearty Mexican meal, where you can enjoy regional flavors and share stories about your adventures. Be sure to take in the friendly atmosphere and warm hospitality — a genuine taste of local culture.
