Ziplining in Tulum: ATV, 5 Lines & Cenote Swim

Five ziplines through the Mayan canopy, one stretching a full kilometre above the treetops.

Ziplining in Tulum pairs five aerial lines (including a 1km run 45 metres high) with an ATV ride through mud and water crossings, a sacred cenote swim, and a Mayan lunch, all in a half-day adventure from Tulum or Playa del Carmen. The price online is final. Park fees, gear, transport and food are already paid. Children from age 4 can zipline and swim with a guide in a life vest. ATV drivers must be 18 or older.

Step-by-step itinerary

Jungle ATV, ziplines, cenote, and lunch

• Drive ATV through jungle trail
• Attend Mayan purification ceremony
• Zipline on five canopy lines
• Swim in sacred underground cenote
• Enjoy traditional Mayan lunch

The experience

You drive your own ATV into real jungle (mud, loose stone, climbs, descents and water crossings) before the ziplines start. This is not a groomed dirt road. The trail is what the Mayan jungle actually looks like. Your guide leads a short traditional purification ceremony, then you're clipped in for five ziplines strung through the canopy. The longest is a full kilometre at 45 metres high, the longest line in this part of the Riviera Maya, and it ends with a splash landing into water.

After the ziplines comes the cenote: you descend a safe staircase into an underground chamber the ancient Maya believed was a gateway to the spirit world. The water is crystal-clear and far deeper than the open cenotes most tours stop at. Your guide is with you the whole time, and if you're swimming with kids, they wear a life vest and snorkeling gear. The silence down there is the part people remember.

Lunch is a traditional Mexican spread (tacos, rice, beans) served at the jungle restaurant where you can rest in a hammock and let your adrenaline settle. Everything is already paid: park entrance, conservation fees, transport, ATV rental, zipline gear, lockers for your phone and valuables, and the meal itself. Only tips and photos are optional. The whole thing runs four to five hours from pickup at your hotel in Tulum or one of eleven meeting points inside the town, or from Playa del Carmen.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

Can I drive my own ATV if I've never ridden one before?

Yes. The trail is challenging (mud, rocks, water crossings, climbs and descents), but your guide leads the way and the pace is set for the group. You need to be 18 or older to drive. Younger kids ride as passengers with an adult on the same ATV.

How deep is the cenote and what's it like to swim in?

The cenote is an underground chamber with crystal-clear water and cave formations, far deeper than the open cenotes most tours visit. Your guide swims with you, and life vests and snorkeling gear are provided so you can explore safely.

What's included in the price I see online?

Park entrance, conservation fees, ATV rental, all five ziplines, cenote entry, certified bilingual guide, Mexican lunch, lockers for valuables, and hotel pickup from Tulum or Playa del Carmen are all included. Only tips and photos cost extra.

Do kids get to zipline and swim, or just watch?

Kids from age 4 zipline and swim with a guide in a life vest. They ride as passengers on an ATV with an adult. Infants sit on an adult's lap during the ride.

What should I bring?

Bring a bathing suit, towel, comfortable shoes and flip-flops, an extra t-shirt, and biodegradable mosquito repellent. Cash is useful for tips. Sunscreen is optional. Lockers are free for your phone and valuables during the activity.

Can I get photos of myself ziplining?

Photos are available as an add-on option at checkout, not included in the base price. You can bring your own camera, but lockers are provided to keep it safe while you're on the trail and in the water.
