Fun experience for all ages! - We were 4 adults from Michigan and had a great time on this experience. I thought it was a little pricey but it lasted 5 hours and I felt we got our moneys worth. It is basically 3 experiences.
First, we did ATVs. We wore bathing suits with shorts over. You can rent lockers for $3 or bring your backpack on the ATV. Insurance costs $15 per vehicle and we did 4 singles. The ride was very fun, although quite bumpy if you have any injury. We brought face gaiters and bug spray but did not need either Dec 31. We saw kids as young as 5 on the back of parents and they were having a blast. You can drive in sneakers or sandals, and it lasted about 45 minutes.
Cenote - The ATV stops at the cenote for a swim and it was glorious. We had it all to ourselves and it was very cold but refreshing. Pack water shoes as it is rocky. We stayed about 20 minutes which was perfect. There are changing rooms to put on dry clothes.
Monkey Sactuary - we rode the ATVs back and then did the animal tour which lasted about an hour. The rescued animals are beautiful and you can tell the staff really care about them. We did the monkey bonding and the trainer had Bonita sit on our heads and hands. She was adorable and i think it was worth the extra cost. The staff was very careful to have us wash hands, and we also held a snake and macaw.
Photos - the photographer takes pictures along the way at all activities and they were great. They cost extra but we thought it was worth it.
Lunch - there were ham sandwiches at the end at 4:30 and we were very hungry by then. Nothing fancy but they did the trick.
Transportation - a van picked us up at 11:20 and drove us back around 5:00. Carlos was great and a very safe driver. We did tip - it was a great convenience!
Overall we were very happy and I highly recommend it!

Monkeying around! - From the start Viator were in contact with us well in advance of the date to make sure everything was correct. A small issue arose with our transport and this was fixed quickly with great communication.
The actual trip was fantastic. We arrived and were introduced to our guide and given instructions about the day. We were given time to get ready in very clean, well maintained changing rooms.
The ATVs were explained well and we were given the proper safety equipment. We were taught how to handle the machines and then we were off, first down a trail and then up and down into the jungle to a cenote.
We were told all about the history and geology of the cenote by our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Luis. We were then back on the ATVs, going at speed back to the sanctuary.
We then were able to get up close and personal with the animals and even got a monkey on our heads. You can see the real care the staff have for all the animals, they love them and they treat them beautifully.
A great trip, would highly recommend!

Off road quads and caves - The tour was better than expected, louis was very passionate about the monkeys and incredibly knowledgeable. The cenote swim was excellent on its own and worth every penny spent. The water was refreshing to swim in. Being isolated like we were felt incredible. You guys have the best office in the world.
I CANNOT SAY HOW MUCH WE RECOMMEND THIS TOUR.

Great time!! - I love animals and nature so this was the perfect excursion, not too long, full of information & fun. This trip was a Father’s Day gift to my husband that we both enjoyed. From the guides, to transportation and cleanliness of the sanctuary everything was great!!

Worth it - Very pleased. Guides were flexible with ATV ride. Fast riders were allowed to go fast and slow riders were allowed to go slow. Cenote was cool as hell and refreshing. I think getting 20 or so minutes to swim in the cave was adequate. The monkey sanctuary was cool and bonding was fun. Easily worth the price for a half day trip.
Knocking a point off since I still haven't received my photos that I paid for yesterday. I don't have any of my own so it would be nice to get those.

Money Trap! - I would definitely not go back again. This excursion is advertised as half day ATB excursion but you won’t be on ATV more than 30 minutes max. The staff we dealt with were confused and unprofessional and curt!
If you have young kids and want to see a small zoo, you might like it but if you are going with teens and are looking for adventurous fun, you will be very disappointed. There are many better experiences with better price point in the area. This experience is very overpriced and does not deliver what it advertises!
