Nice adventure on ATVs

Cheap and fake. You get what you pay for!
We arrived at 9:43am for a 10am tour. There was no sign, no van, nothing. We finally found a woman who could help us at 10:15am. We then waited for other tour participants to show up until 10:53am (they never did). Our tour guide, Pedro, was terrible. He identified a tree whose trunk was covered in 3 inch thorns as a "cedar" tree. Then he turned up the music in the van so he wouldn't have to talk to us. He made us go on the hike alone while he chatted with friends (every other group had a guide with them). He did not take our pictures or offer us water bottles or engage in conversation. Because we had such a late start he cut our ATV ride short, leaving the fun trail and bringing us to a flat dirt road. Every other group we passed was provided with goggles/glasses and bandanas to help with the dust, but not us. Our tour only had one size helmet for us, which was enormous. The tour description claims that we would see Mayan ruins; there are no Mayan ruins at the single stop we made, only touristy reproductions. The 2 good things that kept this from being a single star review were the chocolate tasting, and Hugo, the person who drove us back to the pickup point. Hugo chatted with us, sharing stories and information. He was great, knowledgeable and friendly.

Amazing adventure with the best guide!
We had an incredible time exploring Cozumel on ATVs. The landscapes were lush and vibrant, and every stop felt like a postcard. Our guide made the tour extra special — super warm, funny, and shared lots of interesting facts about the island. This is a must-do if you’re visiting Cozumel!

Fun, scenic, and incredibly welcoming!
This ATV tour was the perfect mix of adrenaline and stunning scenery. The trails through the jungle were beautiful, and the views were unforgettable. What really stood out was our guide — so friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe. You can tell they truly love what they do!

Fun ATV tour and jumping into the Cenote
This was a pretty fun excursion for us with the ATV ride and getting to jump into the Cenote. A problem that we encountered was that the tour provider, Hi Travel Tours, has their meeting point in front of a sports store outside of the older cruise port/terminal area (where Carnival and others dock) and we were on MSC Cruises which docks a couple miles away from their location. So we had to take a taxi to get to the meeting location. This was our mistake when we booked but if you sail on MSC then just know that you will need to take a taxi to get to the meeting point if you book with this company. We arrived early for our tour so we ended up wondering around the shopping area until our booked time came around. Once the tour started, we had a 10 minute shuttle ride to El Cedral where we moved over to the ATV's. We did a little tour of the town and received a nice history lesson on the area by one of the locals. Then we headed out to the Cenote. The drive on the ATV's was fun and when we got to the Cenote our tour guide gave us a little lesson on the Cenotes which was pretty interesting. Then we got to jump in the Cenote which was a cool experience. We were able to jump a couple times before we had to make our way back to the town. After we got back to El Cedral we had a tequila tasting which was nice and then we went on a little ATV tour of the jungle which was fun. Once we finished, we headed back into Cozumel and our tour guide was nice enough to drop us back off near our ship which we really appreciated since it saved us another taxi ride. Overall, the tour guide was great and we had a fun time. It is definitely an excursion that we would recommend.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cozumel.
How much does ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cozumel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cozumel is not rushed.
Is ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cozumel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cozumel can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cozumel and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ATV Excursion: Discover El Cedral Town & Ruins, Cenote Swim start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cozumel within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cozumel?
+
On Outty we rank every Cozumel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jade Caverns and Mayan Village Cozumel ATV TOUR, Buggy, Beach & Snorkel Blast, ATV 4×4+Cenote+Snorkeling+Beach Club+ Lunch+Sabores de Cozumel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cozumel?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cozumel?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
