4.ATV Adventure Combo with Snorkeling, Ziplines, Cenote, and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $109Best value

Spend about eight hours moving from Puerto Morelos reef to jungle trails, ziplines, and a Mayan cenote. You’ll get snorkel gear, tacos, water, safety equipment, hotel pickup, and guides such as Rafael, Mike, Lalo, and Marlon. The day is fun and varied, but shared transport, short activity times, photo sales, and extra fees require patience.

“We did the full package including snorkeling. The activity states you start in the morning with snorkeling but this was not the case so we were very confused most of the day as no guidance was given otherwise that the tour would operate in a different order. After about 3 hours in a car we sat at the site for a while waiting on a guide to be assigned to our group. The tour guides themselves are super high energy and ease some of the anxiety from the tour groups extreme disorganization. We started with the cenote where we were given 25 minutes which basically equated to jumping into the…”

“Although the actual cenotes were amazing, I wasn't allowed to take my waterproof camera along with me to take my own photos so had to rely on the camera shots from the professional photographers there, which weren't much cop. We also found a spider and i asked for the cameraman to take a shot of me next to it for my usb stick which i bought with all the photos on it. The photo was not allowed to be on the stick as it was a dangerous spider. This totally put me off the park and the attitudes when i asked can i pay for it were shocking. The snorkelling…”

“This was the best and most active day in my trip. I absolutely found it to be so worth the time on the road getting to places because each one of the activities was so engaging and entertaining. The best part for me was snorkeling and I want to say that Juan in Puerto Morelos was the best guide in the trip. He is actually very educated and highly knowledgeable about nature, geography, culture and many more topics. He teaches you a lot about what you see and what surrounds you during the trip. It was highly entertaining for me to learn from him as I was seeing a magical…”
