4.Hidden Cenote Swim & ATV Jungle Adventure with Transportation

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 858 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $119

You’ll ride a Can-Am Outlander through Puerto Morelos forest, swim in an open-air cenote, and stop for Mexican snacks in town.

“The ATV ride was fun and the cenote was beautiful. I’m disappointed that they don’t let you bring your phone on the ATV or take any of your own videos of the cenote. We purchased all the photos and videos that their photographer takes but they’re all blurry. My iPhone would have done better so it’s disappointing for the price of everything that they don’t let you use your phone. We come all this way and leave tips to everyone and can’t get any photos for memories.”
