Meet a driver at your hotel in Cancun, then travel to the Maya community of Rancho San Felipe to start the day with a traditional purification ceremony led by a local shaman. Next, head into the jungle to find the Sac Actun cenote system, where you’ll don snorkeling gear for a swim through the cavern of Nohoch Nah Chich, with stalactites and stalagmites above and below the water. Go even farther into the forest and rappel 40 feet (12 meters) into Yaxmuul, another underground pool. Get up into the treetops on a series of three ziplines for a swooping descent from the forest canopy back into the water. Following your time in the jungle, discover the flavors of Maya cuisine at a lunch, then finish the day with return transfer to your original departure point.

        Fun for couples!
        We had so much fun! The ATV ride was ok, it was mostly riding up & down a rocky road but still fun. The zip lining was awesome! Favorite part was the cenote & tequila tasting. Recommend doing the VIP - you get more time in the cenote (& a more private cenote), better tequila, & better food options. Overall we really enjoyed it & it was a fun way to get out of our resort for the day & explore. Raul was our guide & he was AMAZING & so much fun

        Beautiful trip! Amazing pictures! Staff was so nice and engaging! And the sax music was fun! It was a perfect short trip vs the all day trips!

        Beautiful! And, the crew was was great!
        Booking online was a breeze. We were picked up in the front of our hotel promptly. The crew handed everyone a drink as soon as we boarded. Music played, drinks flowed. Scenery was beautiful. We booked a golf cart and tooled around the island … walked the beach … then headed back to the boat for drinks, swimming and a gorgeous sunset.

        A good vibe. Had a lot of those men who think they are young!! Cringe. Pools and lovely beach area but no subbed on beach so your towel goes on the sand.

        Wanted more
        I had really high expectations and I wish it were more spiritual. Maybe the groups were too large because it felt a little touristy for me. First time I ever did a sweat lodge and that was a powerful experience…I enjoyed it and felt great afterwards… Although It’s not for everyone. Bring a towel and change of clothes. And mosquito repellent !

        Great time BUT READ MORE
        Bring your own gear if you can! Once you check in for the ATV, zip line, cenote experience EVERYTHING is an immediate upsell. Do you want to go to a public cenote or more private with less people? If you say yes you also get a better lunch along with a tequila tasting - we are glad we did this for an extra $55 per person. Bring cash or use PayPal. Credit cards you are charged an extra 8%. The ATV was our least favorite activity and would NOT recommend. The only gear supplied to you is a helmet and you also need goggles and a scarf for your face. They have a store for you to buy these in for an unreasonable amount of money! A $2 scarf is $12! Silly! Goggles $29. There is a dirt road maybe 2 miles long that you ride up and down for 30 minutes and that’s it. Nothing to see or do, just riding single file back and forth. I am not exaggerating. Zipline was a fun little course, nothing crazy. We had a good time doing that. Cenote, tequila and lunch was our favorite - this part we would do over and over again. Lalo was our guide and he was so much fun, thank you Lalo! The most important thing I would want people to know is that the staff (and there is a lot of staff here!) was all very professional and super super friendly! If you want to save yourself some money bring goggles and a scarf for your face for the ATV ride but if you can skip the ATV portion I would.

        Honeymoon Cruise to Isla Mujeres
        The staff were absolutely Amazing! I was quite unsteady and not surefooted on the catamaran at all, but I always had a hand available to me wherever I went! When we reached Isla Mujeres, Willy and the staff made sure to prepare us for....less honest merchants, and to give us directions on the best places to see. On the way back we stopped to swim in the ocean. I am a plus-sized woman and was really uncertain about getting off the catamaran to swim, not wanting the "fat girl experience" of trying to get back on. I didn't have to worry at all! They treated me Exactly the same as every other person getting back on. Willy was so much fun, so entertaining and engaging. We had a smaller group as there was a storm a couple of hours before, so he was able to give us a more personal experience. 10/10 would recommend again!

        Great staff and ride just would’ve preferred more time on the island.
        Great staff and boat ride! Would’ve preferred to have more time on the island rather than a long ride back. The onboard entertainment was good but had some over served patrons on the way back. The photographer that took photos never gave us an option to access/purchase them.

        Very disappointing
        I was very disappointed in our Tulum visit. I was there 25+ years ago and it was beautiful - you could go on the beach and get the view in the photo you see in the advertisements but now you can't go on the beach and the whole place was not kept up well at all - saw garbage in many places. Not only was it a long drive to get there but it was extremely hot (in July) with a ton of people there.

      This was such a blast! We felt safe the entire time, our guide was clearly passionate about jungle life and the adventures we were on! We loved the rappelling, the zip lining, the snorkeling in a cenote. I mean it was all incredible. The lunch was also amazing. The Mayan village on site had the most beautiful crafts and their food was to die for! You won’t be disappointed in this tour!

      My sister and I did this for her 35th birthday. This tour was very professional. They arrived at our resort on time early in the morning about 7am, we then headed to Tulum to tour the Tulum Mayan Ruins. After that we headed to the Mayan jungle tour which was about 8 minutes away. We Ziplined, rappelled, and snorkeled in underwater caves. It was amazing. We then had lunch and were dropped back off at our resort around 5pm. The cenotes snorkeling and Ziplining were my favorites. The food was delicious too.

      This was a great day trip for our group of eight and I we have not found anything that we liked as much as this place. I really like how they operate with small groups and you feel as through there are not many people there even through they are moving lots of groups through everything. Its a bit of a far journey from the the center of the hotel zone in Cancun but we did not mind the early departure and beautiful drive, we left at 7am and back about 3:30pm. Go and have a great time, their guides or staff are amazing, pay the money for the photos. Thank you for our great experience.

      My friends and I had such a great time during all the activities! They made us feel safe all throughout the time and the food they gave us was delicious! We stayed in the hotel zone so it was a little bit over a hour drive, but was so worth it! They provide transportation so it a bonus and less hassle for us. 10/10 experience!!

      The morning pickup at our hotel was extremely convenient and our driver and guide for the day, Jose, was awesome! We had two very different snorkeling experiences - one in a beautiful reef and another in a cenote (underground cave) - both were wonderful. We did the zip line package across 7 different zip lines - the most unique of any zip line experience we have ever had. The entire staff was very friendly and kind. They were all very welcoming to our same sex couple and we always felt comfortable. Jose was our incredible guide for the day. He was funny, extremely knowledgeable, and took great care of us. We would recommend this over and over and over again!

      This was a great tour for cenotes, zip lining and a Mayan Shaman purification ceremony. Plus, it's one of the few "parks" that are completely Mexican own and supports the local Mayan community. I would definitely go again, but would book directly with the company that does this tour: alltournative.com. The price of the ticket per person through viator was $20 more per ticket, which is significant in Mexico. Also of note, is that this place is a 1 1/2 hour drive from Cancun, but only 15 minutes from Talum. I would have taken the tour that included Talum with this experience, had I known, because the cost is negligible.

      They say they will pick you up at your hotel but change it via email the night before. They said they'd pick us up at 9 am but again changed it to 6 am. We were at the pick up location for an hour and a half asking every van or bus if they were it but they all said no and when they finally opened so I could call at 7 am they said the van was there at 635 and they had us down as a no show. Absolutely horrible experience do not give them your money they are trying to only let us have 70% back. Do not do it.

      This is an absolute MUST! We were picked up promptly at 8:00 am and had a nice small group of 12. After a brief ride we started with rappelling into the first cenote. Our fears of this new unknown adventure were quickly put to ease by our guide César (more on him shortly) we then swam through the cave to the next point where we got to experience a Mayan ceremony led by a shaman which allowed us to see the culture firsthand. Then we did 3 zip lines to the next cenote where we snorkelled through a life enhancing experience in underground beauty. Then after 2 more zip lines were served an authentic Mexican lunch which was delicious! César then took us to Tulum to see the ruins and beach and we were back to our resort by 4:00.

      This trip was made amazing by the most perfect guide I have ever met.

      César you are the best at what you do. Your calming demeanour helped everyone tackle fears and your knowledge of the landscape and history of Mayan culture is top notch. I not only had the time of my life but have a greater understanding and appreciation of our natural world and ancient civilizations.

      *** important to read the info pack before going. Take comfortable shoes and swim gear because you will be changing from wet to dry conditions a few times****

      ***Also you can only bring a GoPro with a harness attached if you want to take pictures due to safety precautions. They do take excellent pictures for you which you can purchase (we did!)***

      Do yourself a favour and experience this wonder. You’ll be glad you did!
