Don’t bother going here
Compared to other places like this, I would not recommend it. Seems like a tourist trap and the safety is questionable to say the least. Would recommend looking for another place than this. You’re not allowed to bring your phone, so there’s not a lot of pictures to share.

Regarding the policy of not allowing phones, we understand that this can be frustrating for those who wish to capture memories.

Disappointing and a lot of waiting time.
The first 1,5 hours was spent on transportation even though we met at the official meeting point. The next 30-60 minutes was spent on additional waiting in line for checking in/paying (we had payed in advance) and waiting in line for the zip lines. It took forever. We weren’t allowed to bring phones so not aware of the actual waiting time but it was a lot. The zip lines were fine, they had an automatic stop and the employees caught you every time, so a fine choice if it’s your first time. Quite boring if you’ve tried it before? Which we had. The ATV’s were downright dangerous. One of ours could NOT brake. At all. Even with full power on the hand brake while going uphill. Had to drive into a fence to stop. Also, it actually burned my ankle. Another one could barely accelerate. Even though we have muscle mass to some degree, it’s still hurts the day after in the hand because we had to use that much force to accelerate. There were barely any safety precautions. This was by far the worst part and could have gone terribly wrong. The cenote was fine. It was pretty and there were a bridge and a slide to jump from and it was obligatory to put on a life vest. The food was amazing and the only reason they get the 2nd star. Since you’re not allowed to bring phones, they take pictures+videos for you. It costs 80 USD for 3 people which is quite scammy. It seemed a lot like a tourist trap with only loud American tourists beside us. In general it was disappointing, not worth it and actually quite dangerous and really chaotic with a lack of information. We would NOT recommend using this company.
Response from the operator: We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing and concerning experience with our Extreme Adventure - ATV (single) Ziplines and Cenote tour from Playa del Carmen. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and it's distressing to hear that we fell short in providing a positive and secure experience. We sincerely apologize for the extensive waiting times and lack of organization you encountered, as well as the issues with the ATVs. Your feedback regarding the safety concerns with the ATVs is alarming, and we will immediately investigate and address these issues to ensure the safety of our guests in the future. We also apologize for the inconvenience regarding the photo service and any perception of being a tourist trap. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to improve our services and ensure a better experience for future guests. We appreciate your honest review and are grateful for your feedback. If you would like to discuss your experience further or if there's anything we can do to make amends, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Highly recommend!
I was hesitant to book this trip due to the lack of reviews but I'm so glad I did. It was great! When you arrive, you're taken directly to the ATVs and to go around a course at a decent speed. I thought I'd be bored waiting in a slow line of people but I had fun trying to keep up. They were pretty speedy. The only negative is that you have to wear a helmet that had a musty odor. A clean disposable cap is provided to separate your head from the helmet. From the ATVs, we were taken on 6 or 7 zip lines followed by the cenote and a meal. The cenote was, overall, nice, but slightly disappointing. I was hoping for one in a cave and this one was outdoors. The food was delicious - chicken fajita, rice and beans, corn chips and tortillas with salsa. The staff was spectacular. I loved the timing of the events. It was long enough where you got your fill and short enough not to get bored. Highly recommend. Don't expect to be able to take photos and bring $5 for the locker rental.

ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen?
+
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, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen?
+
Around 1 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ATV, Ziplines & Cenote Adventure from Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote. 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
