Honest Review: Puerto Morelos ATV, Zipline & Cenote Tour

If you are looking for a jolt of energy and a bit of outdoor fun not far from Cancun or Playa del Carmen, then too, it’s almost certain the Puerto Morelos ATV, Zipline & Cenote tour might just be right up your alley. Now, I recently got to try this tour, and I want to share all the messy, muddy, and maybe even slightly nerve-wracking details, you know? So, come with me, and let’s discuss what you might expect, things you should probably keep in mind, and of course, if it’s really something worth adding to your vacation bucket list.

What to Expect from the ATV Adventure

Okay, so, first things first, the ATV portion of the tour. Picture this: you, behind the handlebars of a four-wheeler, about to tear through the jungle. In reality, well, it’s like your version of tearing through the jungle. You get a quick safety briefing and some instructions, nothing complicated, and then, as a matter of fact, you’re off. The trails could be bumpy – that’s what you expect, right? In some respects it is a jungle. I wouldn’t say they were super technical, just basic, so almost anyone, from beginner to a little bit more experienced, should get through without too much trouble.

Just a word of caution, as I was saying, it could get muddy, sometimes, actually, unbelievably muddy, depending on the weather. You could want to dress accordingly – think clothing you won’t really miss if they get totally covered in dirt. They often provide goggles, which is fortunate because it will be a dusty experience. Overall, really, the ATV ride is just good, clean—or should I say dirty—fun, if you’re alright with getting a bit messy and maybe testing your nerve a little.

Ziplining Through the Canopy

Alright, so, next up: ziplining. Now, if heights give you a bit of pause, that might get the heart pumping a little bit more. I mean, it did for me! The ziplining part, you know, normally includes a handful of different lines, often varying in length and height. You usually start with a shorter, lower line to ease you in. So the guides there are great, very friendly, and they focus on making sure everyone feels secure. In fact, the equipment generally looks well-maintained, and you’ll usually get all suited up with a harness and helmet.

Really, soaring above the trees is rather a thrill. As a matter of fact, it gives you amazing views of the jungle, and that rush of air as you fly down each line, that is worth it, you know? But really, like I said, if heights are not your best friend, keep this in mind. However, arguably, the feeling of accomplishment after completing each zip line can be something pretty special.

Refreshing Cenote Swim

Okay, you may be hot, you may be a little sweaty. The last portion of the tour is visiting the cenote. So, picture a naturally formed sinkhole, full of crystal-clear, freshwater – it sounds like paradise, and as a matter of fact it might as well be. Cenotes might be sacred spots for the Mayans, and still, they offer that bit of refreshment you crave after all the activity. Some cenotes might be completely underground in caves, while others might be more open to the sky.

But now, before you go swimming, by the way, most tours might ask you to shower off to help preserve the cenote’s water quality, you see? It is commonly cold, so just brace yourself, you know. As I was saying, it feels incredible, and so often swimming in a cenote feels surreal. This can often be the perfect way to wind down and soak in the beauty of the Yucatan Peninsula.

What to Bring and What to Leave Behind

Alright, packing is very important, isn’t it? The right stuff can make or break your whole tour. Things you should consider bringing: First off, apply sunscreen, you know? And that, before you arrive, because some locations request that it’s biodegradable, and it might be better if you do that before. Don’t forget to wear insect repellent, because mosquitos actually love jungle adventures as well. Old clothes is kind of what I mentioned before, still, wear clothes that you really don’t mind getting muddy or dirty. So that swimsuit should be packed for that cool dip in the cenote, you know? If you might like capturing every bit of the experience, just a waterproof camera is definitely the thing to take. Cash is ideal if you might like tipping your guides or buying souvenirs. I mean, some tours might sell photos of you during your tour.

And by the way, there are things you’re better off leaving at your hotel, right? Expensive jewelry might be something you might regret losing out there. So pack that towel if the tour company doesn’t offer you one, basically, it’s just better being safe. So many tours already include drinks, in short you shouldn’t buy drinks. Basically, bring just what’s absolutely required to maximize fun, basically minimizing the worry.

Choosing the Right Tour Operator

Now, like, who you actually decide to go with can totally shift the feel of your adventure, okay? What you want to look at can be things like safety, the gear, and, seriously, reading a bunch of reviews is so important, alright? Safety measures are definitely important for all tour companies, especially with an ATV or ziplining trip, and they must meet specific standards, you see? The staff needs proper training, the equipment needs looking after regularly, and so on.

Okay, as I was saying, feedback is super important because it is the experiences that can help highlight problems and benefits of different tour groups. How responsive and accommodating the company actually may be for things, is usually something that shows through in customer reviews, okay? Does the group offer various schedule alternatives or several packages?

And lastly, it goes down to balancing the budget. Though you wouldn’t like to go only by how low cost a tour is, find out about the prices to check on what you’ll be getting. Sometimes, in some respects paying slightly more might bring a safer, more pleasant trip, in the long run.
