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!!

Wild & Adventurous Half-Day Experience - We did the ATV tour, cenote swim, and monkey sanctuary tour during this outing. The guides were super friendly and made sure everyone stayed safe. The ATV ride was exhilarating, and cooling off in the underground cenote afterwards was very refreshing. Definitely pay the extra fee for the monkey bonding! I almost passed on it, but ended up so glad I did it. My only minor complaint is we waited longer than expected/past the scheduled start time at the sanctuary (before the ATV portion started) Kudos to the guides, they really nailed it!

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.

Rushed, but still fun. - This tour was nice - but very very rushed. We were picked up by the company and as soon as we got there we were told we would need to buy bug spray and face coverings, but at the same time, that we were late and needed to hurry. The tutorial on the ATV was very brief, but it was easy to get the hang of and very fun. The cenote was super cool, but again, rushed to change to get in the water, and rushed getting out. What they didn’t tell us is that after the cenote and after the ATV ride back, we would get the chance to shower and change - which would have been great to know, since it was very dusty, and we put our clothes on over our swim stuff since we were so rushed, and it turned to caked on mud, and we didn’t have anything to change into. There seemed to be a lot of animals around, but again we were rushed through and didn’t get to stop and look. Monkey bonding experience was very brief, but awesome. Lunch was a basic sandwich, which was fine. Overall, a good tour, but would benefit tremendously from slowing it down and letting guests have more time to enjoy things.

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!
