ATV Adventure and Horseback Ride with Ziplines, Cenote from Tulum
Book on Viator →Operated by What To Do In Cancun · Bookable on Viator
Four parts, one long day.
This tour is built for people who like variety, not waiting around. You get horseback riding, an ATV ride, a 3-zipline circuit, and time to swim in a natural fresh-water cenote, plus a tequila tasting at Colonial Hacienda Reserva Palacios. It’s interesting because the day jumps between animals, machines, heights, and jungle water—without feeling like you’re repeating the same thing.
I especially like that it packs a lot into one ticket at a small-group size (max 15), so the schedule feels efficient. I also like that you’re not left to fend for safety or essentials: ATV insurance and all safety equipment are included. One possible drawback is the day runs long in real life, since transportation is around 1.5 hours each way, and the posted activity time doesn’t include that travel buffer.

Key things to know before you go

- Real variety in one ticket: horseback, ATV, zipline, cenote, and a tequila tasting
- Safety is part of the package: ATV insurance and all safety equipment included
- Cenote time isn’t just look-only: you get access and swimming
- Expect rough-road ATV vibes: muddy, dusty, bumpy roads are part of the fun
- Your body matters on the zipline: weight and waist-size limits apply
From Tulum to Puerto Morelos to Cancun: how the day really moves

This is one of those “take the whole day” experiences. The core activity time is listed as about 7 hours 30 minutes, but the drive time is a big deal. You should plan for extra time because transportation to and from the park is about 1.5 hours each way, and the activity duration shown doesn’t include that travel.
The flow is simple. You start near Tulum at Súper Akí Tulum (Carretera Federal Tulum Ruinas s/n). Then you spend the day moving through two main activity bases: first the horseback start at El Rey Polo Country Club near Puerto Morelos, then the adventure park area at Extreme Adventure Cancun for the ATV, ziplines, and cenote. Also note the order can vary depending on operational needs.
Because the group is capped at 15 travelers and the tour includes pickup from the Tulum area and select hotels, it’s a good fit if you want action without a chaotic herd. The tour language is offered in English, and you’ll use a mobile ticket.
Other Tulum ruins tours we've reviewed in Tulum
Stop 1: Horsemanship at El Rey Polo Country Club near Puerto Morelos

Your first change of pace is the horseback segment at EL REY POLO COUNTRY CLUB. This is set up as a true intro-friendly riding experience. The tour notes it’s ideal for both beginners and experienced riders, which matters because the day later turns into an ATV and a zipline—so you don’t want your first activity to be confusing.
You’re looking at a horseback ride around 30 minutes, and the stop is scheduled for about 45 minutes total. That difference usually comes from the time needed for basics: getting suited up, listening to instructions, and getting positioned before you ride.
A practical detail: there’s a maximum weight for the horse ride of 242 lb / 110 kg. If you’re near that limit, it’s worth checking this carefully before booking. There’s also a minimum age for the horseback ride of 6 years old, so it’s not a toddler activity.
If you like animal experiences and you want something active that isn’t mechanical, this stop is the palate cleanser. It’s also where the Caribbean-sun setting shows up—your first taste of the tropical atmosphere before the jungle chaos starts.
Stop 2: The Extreme Adventure Cancun ATV ride (mud, dust, and bumpy roads)
Next comes the messy part—in the best way. At Extreme Adventure Cancun, you’ll do about a 30-minute ATV ride through muddy, dusty, and bumpy roads. That description is important, because it sets expectations: this isn’t a smooth-track cruise.
The good news is that the tour includes all safety equipment and ATV insurance. You’re also told cameras aren’t allowed during activities except for head-mounted GoPros or similar devices. That’s a strong hint that the ride includes enough bumps and splashes that they want your attention on driving and safety.
Also, if you’re planning to drive your own ATV: you must be 18+ to drive as a single rider. If you’re under 18, you’ll need an arrangement with your group or you may not be allowed to drive. The minimum age for ATV use is 4 years old, but driving eligibility is stricter.
What you should bring mindset-wise: if you want neat photos and clean clothes, plan to compromise. If you’re there for the thrill and the road sounds like part of the deal, you’ll probably have a better time.
The 3-zipline circuit: jungle canopy views with clear limits

After the ATV, the day shifts upward—literally. You’ll do a 3-zipline circuit through the jungle canopy. This is a classic “adrenaline with scenery” combo, and it fits well after the ATV because your body gets a change of rhythm: less steering, more breathing and watching.
But the zipline has hard limits:
- You must weigh less than 265 lb (120 kg)
- Your waist size must be 1.24 m (49 in) or less
- The minimum age is 4 years old
And there’s an extra practical rule: maximum waist size matters because harness fit is the real safety bottleneck. So don’t assume “close enough” will work. Check it before you go, especially if multiple people are booking and sizes vary.
The camera policy matters here too. If you want to capture it, the tour allows head-mounted GoPros or similar devices, while standard handheld filming is not permitted. That means you’ll either leave the phone in your day bag or plan a head-mounted setup—so your hands stay where they belong.
Cooling off in a natural fresh-water cenote (and actually swimming)

Then you get to come down from the thrills and get wet. You’ll have access to a natural fresh-water cenote and time to swim. This is a big reason the tour feels good as a package: your body gets to reset after ATV dust and zipline excitement.
There’s a minimum age of 4 years old for the cenote. There are no stated swimming restrictions in the information provided, but the general health note does apply to the whole day: it’s not recommended for travelers with heart problems or recent surgeries.
Practical tip: you’ll want to be ready for real water time. Even if you don’t swim much, you’ll likely end up rinsed and refreshed. And since beverages aren’t included, consider what you’ll do for hydration after swimming, especially in the heat.

Tequila tasting at Colonial Hacienda Reserva Palacios and the lunch break

Between the outdoor activities, the tour includes a quieter, cultural moment: a tequila tasting at Colonial Hacienda Reserva Palacios. It’s not just a random add-on. This kind of tasting helps you ground the day in Mexico beyond the adrenaline.
You’ll also get a light lunch served in the park during the Extreme Adventure Cancun block. The day includes a regional traditional snack as well, so you’re covered for small food needs even if you’re not a big eater.
Price-value note: at $72 per person, the value isn’t only in having four activities. It’s in the mix of included extras you often pay for separately—transportation, safety gear, ATV insurance, conservation fee, and that tequila tasting. You’re also not on your own for entry fees at the key activity sites.
What you’ll still want to plan for:
- Beverages are not included
- Photos and souvenirs cost extra
- Locker rental costs extra if you need it (more on that below)
Timing, transportation, and why this tour feels like a bargain for the right traveler

This tour is best for you if you like a packed itinerary. It’s the kind of day where you stop asking what to do next, because the schedule keeps moving. That matters because the biggest risk with multi-activity tours is boredom—this one avoids that.
Also, the tour can feel worth it because it doesn’t just promise activities; it wraps them with practical items:
- All safety equipment
- ATV insurance included
- Conservation fee included
- Regional snack included
- Roundtrip transportation from a Tulum meeting point and select hotels
One more detail that affects your day: cameras are restricted, and you may not be able to casually film everything. If your goal is to capture every second handheld, you’ll need to adapt. Head-mounted GoPros are the workaround allowed for during activities.
And yes, you’ll be tired at the end. That’s not a complaint—it’s the point. The reviews you’d expect for a tour like this line up with the vibe: it’s a long day, but people feel it’s worth it because each stop is doing real work, not filler.
Who should book this ATV, horseback, zipline and cenote combo

I’d steer you toward this tour if you:
- Want four action activities in one day
- Enjoy a mix of animals, adrenaline, and water
- Prefer a small group (max 15)
- Like getting your money’s worth through included entry and safety items
You should think twice if you:
- Want a relaxed pace with minimal driving (transport is around 1.5 hours each way)
- Need flexibility for health reasons (not recommended for heart problems or recent surgeries)
- Fall near the weight/waist limits for ziplining
- Are traveling with strict expectations about clean clothes or lots of handheld photos
It’s also a good match for people booking from Tulum who don’t want to juggle multiple separate tours. The package format keeps things simple.
Should you book it?
Yes—if your idea of a great day includes getting sweaty, riding, flying, and then cooling off in a cenote you can swim in. The price is hard to argue with when you factor in transportation, safety equipment, insurance, and the tequila tasting.
Book it especially if you want a tour that delivers a lot of variety without feeling like you’re wasting time. The only real “don’t do it on a whim” issue is that it’s a long travel day and you need to be comfortable with the zipline and ATV rules.
If you want a calm, slow, mostly scenic day with minimal logistics, choose something lighter. But if you want one ticket that turns Tulum into a full adventure day, this is a strong option.
