Cenote water, a beach stop and a pour on the way back. The 14 below are priced and clear about swimming time, group size and how long the day really runs.
Travel from Cancun, Riviera Maya, or Playa del Carmen to Chichen Itza with a bilingual guide such as Beto, Kevin, or Ramiro. Tour El Castillo, swim at Cenote Chichikan, eat a Mexican buffet, sample tequila, and spend 30 minutes in Valladolid.

“Amazing tour!!! Guides awesome and they had a lot of knowledge. I recommend bringing an umbrella. The cenotes in Yucatan are amazing!”
Spend about four hours at a jungle adventure park near Cancun, riding an ATV, taking three zipline flights, swimming at Cenote Verde Lucero, and tasting tequila at Hacienda Reserva Palacios. Guides such as Omar, Alan, and Moto Moto are known for keeping groups lively, but expect optional gear and photo-package sales.
“The cenote was special and beautiful. The ATV for a no experience rider was fun. The zip lines were a gas! Learned about tequila. Was one of my favorite days in life.”
Travel from Cancun to three cenotes near Puerto Morelos, including Cenote Verde Lucero, for swimming, ziplining, and platform jumps. Guides such as Miguel, Chris, Luis, and Eric lead the activities, followed by tequila tasting, a Maya snack, and a dance show.
“3 cenotes, very commercialised experience, the water pool is cool if you first time experiencing it. Every step of the way you can feel the commercial selling pressure. For the same price other groups offer free lunch, but you have to pay extra here, and spoilers, the food was mediocre to say the best.”
Pack several Cancun adventures into one half-day at Mayan Jungle Rush: four ziplines, hanging bridges, a 30-minute ATV ride, horseback riding, a freshwater cenote, tacos or a vegan snack, and tequila tasting. Guides such as Chris, Flako, David Flash, and Mr. H are praised for keeping groups moving and entertained.
“Each activities was shorter than stated. Lots of time wasted at then end just standing around. As others stated, it’s just a pit to spend more money. They convince you that you need things from their shop for the activities. They try to get you to order extra food and tequila. Everyone needs tipped. Four wheeling was probably the only activity that was actually 30 mins long. Horseback riding was MAYBE 10 minutes and the horses are aggressive with each other. My tour was at 9:30am, they picked me up from my hotel at 7:05 and dropped me off at 3:30pm… for a 4 hour activity.”

Guides such as Andy, George, Flash, and Skinny are known for making nervous first-timers feel at ease.
“Great experience overall. Wish the ATV was longer and got to open them up more. Was hoping the zip line would be longer and over something more fun. The tacos at the end were decent, but wish they had some cilantro and onion on them or some salsa. The swimming hole was fun!”
Spend an evening on a decorated trajinera at Xoximilco Cancun, sampling Mexican dishes, tequila, beer, and soft drinks while mariachi, bolero, marimba, and trio musicians perform. Hosts such as Alexander and Jesus lead games, dancing, and toasts during the four-hour canal party.

“Unfortunately after having great experiences all these years, this one was not! Our pick up was on time. But the experience was rushed and we were not able to enjoy it as we have in the past. This is called the extreme experience.... nothing at all! The horse back.ride was supposed to be appx 30-40 min and it was about 20, super slow walk and boring than we were told.tu hurry and change for the next activity.. literally were told twice to hurry! We go to Cenote, same thing. We were able to jump into water only 3 times when they started to yell out we had to leave. It…”

“Awesome Experience Overall. The guides were very helpful and accomodating as we added ATV riding to the agenda on the spot.

“First to say: your guide Miguel was great; funny, easy going and stayed calm even If he had to das things 3 Times because some of your group we're Not Playing attention at all. Wich would have Made me crazy... The ATVs are fun and I highly recommend to have a Single one. The Tour is not that long and there ist no break to Switch! Also you can do the different things in any Order. We we're unlucky to get cenote first and ATV Last, there ist no place to clean yourselfe. The Snack really is Just that and you have to Order extra (not include). But in conclusion…”
