June 5th Trip
Super fun adventure! Transportation for the hotel was excellent, on time and easy. They gave us tons of water for the group too! Tulum was perfect, we were able to beat the crowds and crazy heat by going a little early. Lunch was fabulous and all the activities were perfect. We loved our guides for everything and felt super safe. They provided lockers but not towels so don’t forget those! Also expect a long day, we left our hotel at 730am and returned at 5pm. My husband and I went in this tour but there were tons of families there too, great tour for everyone and would absolutely recommend! We thought it was so fun to see Tulum first then have fun in the jungle afterward! Very well done tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you had a super fun adventure and that our excellent logistics and guides made your day perfect, from Tulum to the jungle. We appreciate the feedback on the towels and schedule. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

A must do!
What an amazing tour! Tulum is a must see. The Zipline adventure is awesome. But be warned there is a TON of stair climbing, so you need to be in decent shape for this. The cenote was the absolute highlight. No towels are provided, as advertised, bring you own. Would definitely do again.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your time exploring Tulum and had a blast with the Zipline adventure. The cenote is truly a highlight, and we’re happy to hear it was the standout part of your experience. We also appreciate your mention of the stair climbing and the reminder about bringing towels. We always aim to provide helpful information so that guests can fully enjoy their time with us. Thank you again for your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future! Kind regards.

Misleading tittle and pictures on Viator
This tour has over 200 good reviews of people that probably was never in a cenote before or this was the first activity they did in Cancun, Tulum or playa del Carmen! But since I been lucky enough to have prior experiences in different cenotes and experience doing different activities in that area, by far this one is disappointing and over priced! Let me start with setting up the meeting point even thou I thought I was going to be picked up as the description of the activity stated, well I had to email, send WhatsApp messages and call 2 days prior because I didn’t know what was happening, finally someone replied with a meeting point that I drove too. It was a supermarket, I asked the tour driver if I had to pay for parking he told me “no” guess what, I paid for parking! I was picked up at 7:20am sharp as said, we went to pick other 6 people from a hotel in the way and we got to the place a little before 8:00 am then they split us telling me that we can chose between Ziplining or ATVs, I like Ziplining so I stayed with one of the reasons why I pick this tour, the tour guide then told us that we were to early and we needed to wait for more people to come, that’s fine but at 9:30 am started raining very hard and that’s when they wanted us to go up on the Zip-lines after one and a half hours of waiting time when it rains that’s when they are ready? No, sorry but I want to open my eyes to see I don’t want the rain on my face and my jean shorts wet either! The guide tells me what do you want to see? Excuse me? What type of question was that? The view of course I am not paying to drop from a line blind! I knew it was going to pass the rain because it was not on the forecast it was probably a cloud it came out of nowhere and it poured! So I told them I waited for you now you wait until I am ready! When the rain was over around 10:00 am I went to the zip lines! That was fun and worth the wait, the rest is a waste of your time! You can probably get to this place by yourself and do only the zip-lines but there are plenty other zip-lines in the area. The cenote… well like I said I have done others and I have never being in and out so quick from any cenote before! It was 15 mins! Cenotes are a natures wonder they are beautiful but it is nice when you actually spend the time going through chambers and learning about them for a while not in and out! Snorkeling? Usually the tour guide will snorkel with you and tell you what to look for here they give you the mask and you do what you want if you want not even an explanation if you didn’t snorkel before “good luck!” Not worth it! They advertise towels no towels bring your own towels! Look for other cenotes to visit not this one! Also I sign up here because I saw pictures of a cenote with long stringy vegetation that I never saw misleading like I said before! I saw a picture of people on a rope going down a cenote never saw that either! Or did the activity! Then the buffet style food is tortillas, rice, beans and rotisserie chicken! With a vegetable bar! Once again I have done other activities with food this by far was the cheapest set up I saw! I hope you like chicken that’s all they have! Then to finalize the Tulum ruins… at that point I was done with the unorganized place tons of people and misleading upsetting package I purchase so I asked to be dropped if at my rental car location which they agree to do after they got me signing that I won’t ask for any refunds! I already did the ruins before with a real nice tour guide not through this people and I am glad I didn’t after reading some reviews I would have lost it! My recommendation is skip this package go somewhere else!

Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 244 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch?
+
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 Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch?
+
Around 85 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Playa del Carmen Jungle Tour: Tulum, Cenote Snorkeling, Ziplining and Lunch 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?
+
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 Cancun?
+
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.

+
