AGAVE COUNTRY · TEQUILA TOURS WITH LUNCH IN CANCUN
Good tequila tours with lunch in Cancun fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
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.
“This was a great experience. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area. We learned so much.”
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.”
Spend about four hours at Mayan Jungle Rush near Puerto Morelos, riding a shared ATV, crossing four ziplines and hanging bridges, swimming in a freshwater cenote, eating tacos, and tasting tequila. 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 about five hours near Puerto Morelos riding ATVs and horses, crossing beginner-friendly ziplines, and swimming in a cenote with jumping platforms. Guides such as Raul, Arturo, Flash, and Ricardo are praised for friendly service, but expect short activity times, optional fees, and a shared group setting.
“Jose are tour guide was amazing and so friendly! Everyone there was very helpful and nice. I would totally recommend!”
Spend about six hours riding a solo or tandem ATV, crossing five zip lines, swimming in a freshwater cave cenote, jumping from cliffs, eating tacos, and tasting tequila. Guide Vanessa is praised for patient coaching and taking photos, while pickup covers Cancun’s hotel zone.
“The entire tour was great! I had never done zip lining before and although I was nervous, it was fun! Vanessa is awesome and very understanding!! I’m afraid of large bodies of water and Vanessa was very patient with me. ATV’s were awesome too! Definitely recommend!”
Head from Cancun or Puerto Morelos to Mayan Jungle Rush on the Cenote Route for a 30-minute ATV ride, four beginner-friendly ziplines, lunch, and tequila tasting. Guides such as Chicken, Arturo, and Tiny are known for patient instruction. Hotel pickup is available, but shared transport can take much longer than the four-hour activity.
“1st time doing all 4 activities, not gonna lie I was terrified at 1st but once i got comfortable it was really good.”
Pick a still, a field, a table or a track.
