Zip-Lining in the Riviera Maya

What to Expect

The dense jungle canopy of the Riviera Maya provides a spectacular setting for zip-lining, one of the region's most popular adventure activities. You are harnessed to a cable and fly between platforms mounted high in the trees, gliding over the treetops with views of the jungle below. Some courses include extra features like cenote rappelling, ATVs, or swimming.

Where to Zip-Line

Xplor Park

The largest and most well-known zip-line experience in the Riviera Maya, with 14 zip lines -- some over a kilometer long -- that fly over jungle, above a river, and into cenotes. The park also includes amphibious vehicles and underground river rafting. Admission is all-inclusive (approximately 2,500-4,000 MXN).

Selvatica

An adventure park north of Playa del Carmen with a mix of zip lines, ATVs, cenote swimming, and bungee swings. Known for some of the fastest and longest lines in the area. Approximately 1,500-3,000 MXN.

Xenotes

A Grupo Xcaret park visiting four different cenotes with activities at each, including zip lines, rappelling, kayaking, and cliff jumping. Approximately 2,500-3,500 MXN.

Smaller Operators

Independent zip-line operators along the Ruta de los Cenotes near Puerto Morelos offer shorter courses at lower prices (500-1,200 MXN).
