★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 822 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $60Best value

Combine four beginner-friendly activities near Cancun: ride an ATV through jungle trails, take a short horseback ride, soar across four ziplines, and cool off in a Mayan cenote. Guides such as Luis, Raul, Sergio, and Alex are praised for clear support. Hotel pickup, water, lunch, and safety gear are included, but lockers, photos, and extra food cost more.

“We are a couple from San Francisco California, came to Cancun for Christmas vacation. We enjoyed all the activities: horseback riding, ATV, Ziplining, and cenote. We got a lot of time on the horse riding and ATV; not a 10 minutes each like what most tours offer. There were 6 different ziplining, each with higher heights; most tours only offer one. The cenote included a slide and a zipliner about 15’ high for diving. It was my first experience diving that high without knowing how to swim. I wish that there was photography at the cenote to capture that experience.”
