ATV & Quad Tours in Tulum

Showing 19 activities · Sorted by traveler rating

ATV and quad tours are the signature adventure of Tulum, and the reason is the terrain. The jungle floor behind town is flat, sandy and webbed with dirt trails that double as the only access roads to many hidden cenotes. Most ATV tours run as half-day combos: thirty to sixty minutes of riding paired with a zipline circuit, a rappel and a cenote swim, with lunch at the end. You can pick single or double machines, all automatic, and guides run a practice loop before the real trail. Expect mud, small groups and a morning start that beats the afternoon heat. The tours below are ranked by traveler rating and value.

Almost always. The standard half-day tour bundles the ATV ride with a zipline, a rappel and a cenote swim because the trails lead to the cenotes.
