ATV Extreme en snorkelavontuur van de Riviera Maya

Mijn man en ik hadden een geweldige tijd! Onze gids, Jonathan, was energiek en behulpzaam vanaf het moment van ophalen tot afzetten. We deden de zip-lijnen, ATV's en snorkelen in de grot. Snorkelen in de grot was het coolste deel van de reis, maar we hebben er allemaal van genoten. De lunch was ook heerlijk. Ze hebben onderweg fotografen, dus je hoeft je camera niet mee te nemen (het is toch niet veilig om deze tijdens de avonturen bij je te hebben). Ik zou Adventura Mayas zeker aanbevelen en hopelijk heb je het geluk om Jonathan als gids te krijgen!

Wauw wat een geweldige excursie! Jamie was onze gids voor de dag en hielp onze dag speciaal te maken! Het was voor onze huwelijksreis en het weer liet de hele dag regen zien. Jamie zorgde ervoor dat we ons beter voelden over de regen, en de regen maakte het uiteindelijk leuker! Jamie was er trots op het gebied te kennen en gaf ons veel informatie over de cultuur en gemeenschap waarin we ons bevonden. Hij zorgde ervoor dat we ons veilig voelden toen we aan het snorkelen waren. Toen hem werd gevraagd over het aanbrengen van insectenspray of sunblock. Hij vertelde ons dat we dat niet zouden moeten doen, tenzij het absoluut nodig was (wat niet nodig was). Hij zei dat het de dieren en het milieu helpt beschermen die we bezochten om de dieren in het wild te helpen beschermen, en ik vond het geweldig dat hij daar om gaf! Francisco Javier was onze ATV-gids en mannn! ! ! ! ! Hij was zo leuk! Hij zorgde ervoor dat we veilig waren terwijl we de best mogelijke tijd hadden. Zijn energie was geweldig! Als ik opnieuw kon boeken, wetende dat ik die twee jongens zou krijgen. Ik zou het elke keer doen!

Just did this excursion, here are some things to keep in mind. We found the price pretty reasonable for the day (128USD). We recommend bringing water shoes if you have them for the lagoon and cenote. All the locations have lockers to put your possessions in. From our resort Bahia Principe Akumal the distance of driving to the locations was pretty close which was nice 20-30mins at the most. We had 4 activities for the day snorkelling in the lagoon, 3 ziplines, ATVing, swimming in a cenote and lunch. Now something we were not aware of is depending on how the day is going they may reorganize your activities, which happened to us. We started with the snorkelling in the lagoon in Akumal. They offer 2 types of life jackets the old school ones you inflate by blowing into it and regular life jackets. They ask if you are and strong swimmer or not and give you the respective one. The old school ones un-inflated still make you float and if you want to dive down a bit in the lagoon you can, with the new life jackets you won’t be able to. Lots of fish to see but the water is a bit murky and nothing to special. The path leading to the lagoon is very rough but short there is a place to put towels and shoes so you can wear them up until you get into the water. We then headed to the location where the zip lining, ATVing, cenote and lunch is located another 20ish minute drive. Now this is where our day got shuffled around a bit we ended up doing the lunch first which was really good (tacos) but it was really early like 10:30. We then did the 3 zip lines which was fun and they are pretty high lots of steep narrow stairs however if you have limited mobility. After the zip lining we did the cenote which was really nice, again there is a place before you get into the water where you can leave your shoes. The cenote is really nice you have to wear life jackets, the water is very clear and pretty cold, lots of bats flying around, you’re able to climb up onto the rocks and jump in if you’d like. We then finished with the ATVing which was a lot of fun they go pretty fast. The route is on roughly 11 miles of forest terrain. They try to sell you a lot on getting the ATV insurance 15USD for the first driver and 10 USD for the second. It’s up to you whether to take it or not we took it because I just felt safer in case anything minor happened and they tried to charge us 100-1000s of dollars. Overall our guide Francisco was very good and kind. We would have preferred finishing with the cenote because you get hot and very dusty from atving. There are showers at the atv place but we didn’t want to be wet on the bus ride back. The whole day they are taking pictures of you and then you have the opportunity to buy them at the end for 55USD. We didn’t because that’s a lot for pictures, it’s too bad they don’t charge like 25USD because I think a lot more people would buy for that price.
