Coba Adventure: ATV, Rappel, Ziplines, Cenote, Archeological Zone Tour

Beware. Despite saying they do a hotel pickup, we were told to meet them at a local supermarket, so we had to pay out of pocket for round trip taxis to the meeting spot. After a brief ATV ride down a bumpy dirt road, we waited for over an hour in our zip line harnesses and helmets doing nothing, it was well over 80 degrees and no water was offered. After our ziplines, which were part of a chaotic and disorganized hike (again with no water and little explanation-multiple people in my group were feeling nauseous/lightheaded from dehydration), we swam in the cenotes, which was actually really beautiful! We were supposed to be served a lunch of flautas and other Mexican food, but after 6 hours of activities, we were told to get in a new van with a new guide and go to Coba, no lunch received. At Coba, our new guide told us we could buy some chips. After that, we were taken to a Mayan home tour (didn’t sign up for that, it was an error) and not back to our hotel, as promised. When we asked the tour guide when we would be going home (we had been with the excursion company for 9+ hours), he said “when we are done, there are other people in this group”. So basically, we were shuttled into a new group incorrectly and stuck for hours without going home. We had to cancel our evening plans. Eventually we were dumped in the parking lot of the grocery store again, NOT at our hotel as promised. Dehydrated, hungry, and exhausted-3 hours later than advertised.

Victor, our guide, was awesome. He was patient and encouraging. He didn’t make you do anything you didn’t want to do.

I hate to write a poor review but I feel very mislead. We did not ATV through the jungle. It was a on a wide dirt road with cars. We went very slow. We also had to share our ATVs instead of having our own. Lastly, we missed out in the 4th zip line because of time, which was the longest one. Other than that, the cenote was beautiful and fun and the food was good.

So much fun! Our guide was awesome and kept the activities moving and on time. We started with ATV riding through the jungle (which was a so fun) then cenote swimming, ziplining, rappeling, and then took a beautiful tour of Coba. We ended it with the most amazing surprise - a blessing ceremony from a Mayan shaman! Loved! I gave 4 stars because I didn't like how phones were discouraged because they wanted you to pay for their photos they took, but overall it was totally worth it!

I was nervous about the 1 review but this ended up great. It was a combo of a Mayan Adrenalina Tour + Coba tour. It was a very fun day of ATVs, zipline, cenote and of course Coba. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to do these activities.

Lots of events, make sure you bring a waterproof bag for your phone! Tho, no door to door hotel pick up.
