Leave the Tulum coast behind for a 5-hour jungle day near Akumal. Ride Yamaha 350cc ATVs on an 8 km trail, walk into La Gran Cueva, and swim in secluded cenotes before a light lunch back at base camp.
After a short transfer inland from downtown Tulum, you get an ATV briefing on the Yamaha 350cc fleet, then ride a guided 8 km jungle course for around 45 minutes of dusty, rugged terrain. Guides keep the group together while you take in the forest canopy and the off-road feel of the Riviera Maya interior.
La Gran Cueva offers a walk of nearly 200 metres among ancient formations, followed by quieter cenote stops for a swim in crystal-clear cave pools. The day wraps with a light locally sourced lunch and refreshments at base camp before the private van returns you to Tulum.
You meet in downtown Tulum, then travel about 30 minutes into the jungle near Akumal where the trails and cenotes sit away from the main beach strip. The scenery shifts quickly from coastal town to thick forest and underground water.
The private base camp is the hub for briefing, lunch and the return transfer. Between those points you are on purpose-built dirt trails and at carefully chosen cave and cenote stops inland from the Caribbean shore.
Beginner-friendly with a full ATV orientation. Guests should be comfortable on bumpy trails and swimming in cool cenote water. Minimum age is 6 years. Minimum party size is 2 guests.
Younger guests usually ride as passengers on a shared ATV rather than driving alone. Closed-toe shoes and a willingness to get dusty are more important than prior off-road experience.
Local guides run a clear briefing, a purpose-built trail and carefully chosen cenote stops that balance adrenaline with time to cool off. Transfers from Tulum, kit and lunch planning are handled so the day feels joined-up rather than pieced together.
You get trail time, a walk into La Gran Cueva and swim stops in quieter water, then a proper break at base camp before heading back. The focus stays on a guided, paced adventure rather than a rushed tick-list dash.
Meet in downtown Tulum at the confirmed meeting point. A climate-controlled private van then transfers you about 30 minutes to the jungle base camp near Akumal. Make your own way to the Tulum meeting point; hotel pickup is not included.
No prior ATV experience is required. Guides give a full orientation on the Yamaha fleet at base camp before you start the trail.
The route is designed for mixed abilities, with clear instructions and a guided pace through the 8 km jungle course.
Hotel pickup is not included. You meet in downtown Tulum, then travel about 30 minutes by climate-controlled private van to the jungle base camp near Akumal.
Exact meeting point details are shared ahead of the outing. Make your own way to the Tulum meeting point on time.
Yes. After the trail ride you visit La Gran Cueva, walking nearly 200 metres into a cavern of stalactites, plus two further secluded cenotes. One swim stop is reserved for guests while another is kept quieter for wildlife.
Bring swimwear, a towel and water shoes so you can enjoy the cave pool comfortably.
Children from 6 years old can join. Younger guests usually ride as passengers on a shared ATV rather than driving alone.
Confirm sharing arrangements with the guiding team, especially if you want a single ATV for one adult.
The specially engineered jungle course is about 8 km and typically takes around 45 minutes of riding time through rugged terrain.
Expect dust, bumps and an adventurous feel, not a paved scenic drive. Closed-toe shoes and a bandana help a lot.
Yes. After returning to base camp you get a light locally sourced lunch and refreshments before the transfer back to Tulum.
Mention dietary needs to the guiding team as early as you can so they can check what can be prepared on the day.
The full experience lasts about 5 hours from the Tulum meeting point through to the return transfer, including briefing, trail, cave, cenotes and lunch.
Leave buffer time either side rather than planning a tight dinner immediately afterwards.
Wear comfortable clothes, swimwear, closed-toe shoes and bring a towel plus a bandana for dust. Water shoes are strongly recommended for cenote entry.
Pack a backpack with water and eco-friendly mosquito repellent. Avoid loose jewellery that can catch on the ATV.
Heavy rain can make trails muddy and affect cenote access. Guides may adjust timing or route for safety.
If conditions prevent the tour from running, the team will contact you about rescheduling or next steps under the Flexible cancellation policy.
Yes. ATVs can be shared by two passengers or ridden as a single machine, depending on party size and availability on the day.
Ask the guiding team about shared versus single options so seating and pricing choices are clear before you leave base camp.
