Our visit to the sanctuary was amazing and memorable. We did the ATV tour to a cenote followed by the monkey sanctuary experience. It did not disappoint. The drivers the shuttled us to and from the sanctuary, our ATV and cenote guide, and our guide through the sanctuary were all friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. This is a must do when visiting the area.

Awesome experience, great time. Was our first off resort adventure. Easy communication and pick up time. We did the atv, cenote and monkey experience. Well worth the money.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope to guide you on your next Riviera Maya expedition whenever you decide to venture out again!
This experience was a 10/10. The guides were so friendly, shout out Alexis and Angel! And they had so much knowledge about the history of the cenotes and the animals we saw. We absolutely thought it was worth every penny. We had a relatively small group with just 10 people and everyone got specialized attention and everyone’s questions were answered. The ATV track was mostly a normal road but the road to the center had some fun hills and bumps. Meeting the monkeys was included which was just so so so amazing. Don’t miss this experience. We had the best time!!

Alexis and Angel are passionate storytellers, and we are delighted that their knowledge of local ecosystems and wildlife enriched your day. Navigating the pulse of the jungle on our ATVs, combined with the pure magic of the monkey bonding experience, is designed to leave our guests breathless, and it sounds like your day was nothing short of amazing. Thank you for urging other travelers not to miss this experience! It was a true pleasure hosting you.
This experience was amazing. The guide was so informative about the animals and had plenty of time to listen to our very chatty and enthusiastic 9 year old. The ATV route was great, through the jungle and on off beaten tracks that made it exciting. Topped off with a refreshing swim in the cave cenote, it was a really fun trip out and we felt really well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your family had such an amazing time on our Off-Road ATV & Monkey Sanctuary Tour. It completely warms our hearts to know that our guide took such great care of your 9-year-old. We absolutely love welcoming enthusiastic young explorers, and taking the time to listen, share knowledge about the rescued animals, and connect with them is exactly what makes our team so special. We’re also glad you enjoyed the thrill of navigating our authentic, off-the-beaten-track jungle trails and that the swim in the cave cenote was the perfect refreshing finish to your day. Knowing that you felt completely looked after is the best reward we could ask for! We hope to welcome your wonderful family back for another jungle expedition the next time you visit the Riviera Maya.
This was awesome, had a ton of fun. The monkey sanctuary is really interesting, although its basically a small zoo. Super informative guides. The ATV ride thru the jungle was a blast, and the cenote was beautiful.
Thank you so much for your awesome review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a blast on the off-road ATV trails and found our guides to be super informative. It’s great to know that the beauty of the cenote and the sanctuary made your visit memorable. Regarding your observation about the sanctuary, we appreciate you highlighting its educational value. While it may share some visual similarities with a zoo, its core purpose as a rescue and rehabilitation center is what makes it a 'rare and meaningful interaction'. Every animal there has a unique story of recovery, and your visit directly supports their ongoing care and well-being. We’re so glad you enjoyed this 'full jungle adventure' with us and hope to welcome you back for another 'unforgettable wildlife connection' soon!

For experienced ATV riders I would say that portion is lacking but great for inexperienced riders. The sanctuary and cenote were both a fun time. The tour guides were nice and knowledgeable.

We hope to welcome you back in the future for another adventure, maybe even one of our more adrenaline-focused experiences!
This is a must do if you are looking for an excursion! The staff was amazing and helpful. The atv experience was so fun! They crafted is into groups of people who had experience wit riding and people who didn’t so everyone was able to have a good experience. The cenotes are beautiful! The monkey sanctuary was so great. Everyone knows so much about the monkeys and their history. They were very knowledgeable about the rehabilitation process of the monkeys. So cool!
The guide was fantastic. I really loved the Monkey Sanctuary, however the cenote was just okay for me as well as the ATV ride.

This experience is very educational. You learn a lot about the monkeys they have here in Mexico. All one must do is listen and watch. It is beautiful.
