The 4 Tulum Adrenaline Activities That Earn Their Price

1.Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park: Ziplining, Hanging Bridges, Rappelling and Cenote

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,057 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $80Our pick

Spend about four hours at Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park near Tulum, combining jungle ziplines, hanging bridges, rock climbing, rappelling, two cenotes, and a Mayan taco lunch. Guides such as David, Sergio, Roberto, and Gael lead the activities in English. ATV rides cost extra, and you drive yourself to the park.

“David and his crew were amazing guides, with safety and fun as their top priorities. We loved the ziplining and the two private cenotes were very different from one another and amazing! This was our top-rated adventure out of the three adventures we booked while in Tulum. David was the BEST--you'll love him!”

2.Cenote + 5 Ziplining + ATV Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 328 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $99

Spend about four to five hours at Cenotes Labnaha and Eco Park riding your own ATV, crossing jungle ziplines, swimming through a sacred cenote, and enjoying tacos. A bilingual guide leads the day, with CJ, Tito, Toro, Jose, Pedro, and others praised for their care and humor. Pickup is offered from Playa del Carmen, but Tulum visitors must use a meeting point.

“Great adventure and fun, really glad we did it. Negative reviews give some useful practical suggestions, but some must be down to expectations. Keep an open mind and go for it! Raphael was a great guide and kept it moving along. Not everyone in a group responds in the same way but he was very patient. Bear in mind this is in the middle of the forest/jungle - paths are rocky and rooty, steps to platforms can be uneven but take your time. The chain came off one ATV but they got it sorted quickly. No other issues.”
