★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,041 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $49Our pick

Review of Playa del Carmen’s ATV, zipline, and cenote tour, with practical advice on transport, extra fees, age rules, and overall value.

“Wonderful excursion! It was a fast paced adventure with lots of fun to be had. I’d say to come with water and a change of clothes for comfort. If you get in the cenote it is nice to have something comfortable to change into once you’re done and there are changing rooms/lockers for your belongings. We did not purchase any extra items from the stores like the gators or goggles to cover our faces and still had a great time with a little mud on our legs and feet plus showers at the end to help clean up. We did buy the photo package which is great cuz we left…”

“W ready for a bumpy muddy exhilarating ride through yucatan terrain. Group was nice and small so it made the day more enjoyable. The guides Carlos and Alexandra made the tour so much more entertaining and were so knowledgeable about the history of their home. We visited a mayan village and they were all so inviting, it gave us an insight into daily life in the area. And the Cenote we swam in nestled deep in the forest, amazing.”

Review of the Chichén Itzá tour from Playa del Carmen, with a cenote swim, Maya village, lunch, Valladolid, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Overall it was fine. The tour operators were very nice, and the bus was comfortable and air conditioned. It could have been shortened, though. Lunch took far too long. We were given a 20 minute speech that only those in the very front could hear (something about a Mayan food ritual?), then had to wait another 20 minutes before we could enter the dining area. Also, the stop at the colonial city (which wasn't even listed on the itinerary) was unnecessary. We left Playa del Carmen at 8am (met the tour operator at 7:40) and didn't get back until 8:30pm. Also, our guide at Chichen Itzá (not part of the…”
