Where do I begin!? Upon arrival, my friends and I were greeted by our friendly tour guide Dennis. We signed some paperwork and was guided to the locker room, gift shop, and bar area. After taking a quick pic with the parrots, we jumped on our transportation to the mud madness part of our tour. Since it rained the night before it was the perfect day for some fun in the mud! You have a choice to choose an ATV or a dune buggy; we opted for the dune buggy but will definitely choose the ATV next time to get real dirty! Make sure you wear an outfit you don't mind getting dirty. I wore glasses to protect my eyes since I wear contacts, a bathing suit top, biker shorts, boots (you can wear water shoes too) and a bandana to cover my mouth. Anything you want to leave you can put in a cubby where you'll be going back to after you're done in the mud. We had the pleasure of Abel guiding us through the jungle. Midway through we stopped to eat snacks (which were given to us in cute picnic baskets) and to check out one of the cenotes. At this point, I was able to switch drivers with my boyfriend and head back to the cubbies. It was thrilling to go through the muddy sinkholes! My friends and I were joking around with the sinkholes because back home in New Jersey our potholes are almost the same LOL! Next up, swimming in a cenote! Definitely on my "to-do" list in Mexico. They provided life jackets if needed. There's also a zipline for those who are more adventurous. It was a great experience that I can now X off my list! Lastly, mixology! We were guided to a treehouse type area that had two margarita glasses per person and bartending equipment; time to make margaritas! Dennis was great at teaching us how to make the drinks AND guacamole! Next, on the menu was fajitas. Since I am a pescatarian they were flexible enough to provide me with a veggie option. My friends got chicken, I got veggie; everyone's happy! Did I say lastly? We ALSO got to plant a seed and write our names on it. The entire staff took proper precautions when it came to wearing a mask, providing hand sanitizer and so on. Since we were a group of five we did not have other people on the tour with us which was great since we visited during a pandemic. Just remember; riding through the jungle in a 4x4, swimming in a cenote, making margaritas and guacamole, eating fajitas, and planting a seed all in one tour WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?! Again, thank you Dennis, Abel, and the whole crew for an amazing first experience in Cancun!
Where do I even begin? When my group & I first arrived I was taken back by the aesthetics of the fixtures and furniture in the jungle. We were given a choice of driving an ATV or a Dune Bug and I opted for the Dune Bug due to driving an ATV in D.R. Let me just say Dennis & Abel made this experience truly one to remember. They were so warm and welcoming. They were both so willing to share with us the history of the jungle and & give us places to visit during our stay. Please note this excursion can get really messy. Due to the heavy rain prior to our arrival there was a lot of mud & big puddles to drive through. So much fun! We were able to clean off in the cenotes & I managed to actually get in the water but I didn't go far. After the Mud Madness we climbed up the tree to a small dining area to make MARGARITAS! Who would've guessed as a adult you'd make drinks in a treehouse essentially. Once again Dennis went above and beyond. Our experience was will with laughter, music & of course margaritas. The mixology segment was such a nice experience to wine down & soak in all the fun we had from the Mud Madness journey. & right before our departure we were able to plant a seed which will grow into a tree in the jungle. It truly touched my heart that we were able to give back to the Earth while we enjoyed its true natural state. Key things to remember. Dennis & Abel. Mud Madness, Mixology, & planting a seed. These are all memories for a lifetime.
What a fun and easy way to spend your day here in the Yucatan. You start your day with several long and short zip lines after a short safety briefing, you have a guide every step of the way to set you on your line and off to the next. Everyone is so friendly and helpful even when they're busy, they obviously care about you having fun. The only thing is, there is a lot of steps! When it's hot (85+), humid and your climbing roughly two dozen flights of stairs you might be a bit warn out, luckily it's not a fast climb so you get to take your time a little. At the end of the zip line tour you do a zip line into a pool so bring water proof shoes (rubber flip flops) or water shoes! The human roller coaster is ok, not very fast and definitely not very scary - but enjoyable. We chose to go on the ATV ride, which takes away from your swimming time in the cenote but you still get swim time after - the ATV is fun but you are just driving in circles and it's very very bumpy so I wouldn't suggest doing this with no experience or at least some upper body strength. The cenote is lovely, clean, and comfortable temperature water with fun rope diving and a walk in area too. Over all I would absolutely recommend this place, it's a fun day full of zip lines, balance bridges, swimming and really great employees. Even if you're nervous after the first few lines you feel like a pro and everything there is well maintained so you feel safe. A light lunch is also provided at the end with the option to buy photos of your experience.
Hands down, our favorite thing we did in Cancun. We did Mud Madness in a Polaris and swam in a cenote. Jorge, aka Scrappy, was our guide. He was personable, funny, and kept us informed. The lifeguard at the cenote was encouraging, kind, and goofy. We like to have fun, and they played off of that. It made our experience feel like we were with friends.
This was a wonderful experience. I will like to say that this establishment as whole did a good job making sure its customers were well entertained and did so in a safe manner. I in no way felt I was in any danger during any of the activities. With that said, I would like to say at first glance I was pretty intimidated by the sheer height of some of the ziplines. I wanted to run. I with my girlfriend however pushed forward on our adventures regardless of fear. All the equipment used was in good condition and the staff appeared well trained and friendly in their work. Upon arrival you will be dropped off into the thick vegetation of Cancun nothingness which added to the immersion of the experience. I have somewhat a fear of heights, but I was at no time afraid considering how professional the staff was and how well maintained the safety equipment was. I will say be prepared to go through many and many different ziplines at different speeds and heights and carry or stay hydrated. The ATV experience we got jointly with ziplines however, wasn't so great. I think honestly after being worn out from fun of ziplines nothing else could compete. The ATV rides were slow and just not fun in general and we could of actually avoided the whole second part of the experience and saved money. The final experience is a dive into a large hole in the ground which I can only guess is about 15-20 feet deep. I cannot swim so I didn't even attempt to dive. Once we were finally done for the day we drove back to finalize our expedition. We were treated to a light lunch of beans, chicken, fajitas and iced tea. The food is ok so don't expect fancy, but it was all included in the purchase so it was well worth the experience. At the very final end you are asked, if you would like to purchase any photos that were taken of you from the day of ziplines. I will say that even though the photos are of professional quality I was put off by the extremely high purchase price of the individual photos of $29.99 or the entire set of 60-80 $89.99. No thanks after spending over $200 for the experience of both Zipline and ATV. I give it 5 stars regardless it added a increased enhancement to our beautiful vacation.
Very fun adventure that doesn't take up all your day. Started with atvs and they did a good job of letting you have your freedom while making sure you don't die. Then went to the cenote, had many things to along with a few snacks! People were nice and made sure everyone was having a good time. Would recommend!
We went to Cancun for our daughter's 18th bday. She saw this and wanted to try it. We all had a blast. The zip lining was super fun and the views were awesome. I don't like heights but really enjoyed this. We all liked driving the atv, but was too short and only went in circles. The Cenote was sooooooo beautiful and fun to relax there as the last stop. CHINO, our guide was awesome!! The whole staff was helpful and nice. Made us fill welcomed.
Hola Amigos! So today we will step into the jungle on a rainy Sunday to have the best time of your Cancun trip life! "Are you ready " let's go! Sunday June 17 we got on the Selvatica shuttle and drove from playa mujeres all the way into the route of the cenotes. Long drive ...about 50 min from where we stayed but well worth it. Once you get there they greet you amongst the trees, say a few safety tips, give recommendations and take your food preferences. You then walk into a large wood hut where they have their guests services area, lockers and souvenir shop. If I recommend anything is that you walk with a change of clothes, towels, sunscreen and bug spray! On our trip it rained and I regretted not bringing any or these things. They have a website which basically states everything I Just said but I just preferred walking with less but seriously needed more. We signed up for the full excursion. This included ziplining through the tree canopies about 10! Including the human roller coaster which literally lets you hang and follow a coaster trail ( extremely thrilling), atv riding,exploring a cenote and headed back for a lunch prepared right on site. The atv rides and cenotes are done after the ziplining and require a shuttle ride about 10 min north of the Selvatica location. Best of all you get to zip line right into a gorgeous cenote. Everyone is usually broken up into groups but today it was about 30 people and we all did everything together. We got there at 1 and didnt get back to our resort until 7:00 pm so be prepared to spend your day there. The staff was incredibly friendly and extremely helpful throughout the entire day and experience. 100% recommend you book this excursion on your next trip to Cancun. Walk with your credit card or cash atleast 100$ to purchase your photos which they take through out your entire time there and also to take home a souvenir. This is definitely an Experience of a lifetime! Don't forget to tip your shuttle driver.
My sister and I went out on this excursion on a family trip to Cancun and it was the best part of the whole trip. We booked the extreme canopy tour which is 99 USD a person. This is such a great price considering the customer service you get (free transportation to/from your resort, lunch included, awesome guides). A private van picked us up from our resort with a very cordial driver. We got to the resort, checked in and met our main guide for the day. Our main guide was JK and he was a very entertaining individual, very engaging, funny and knows how to hype things up. We had a safety briefing and then climbed up for our zip lining adventure. There is about 10 zip lines which took about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your group. The last zip line ends in water, which is optional but highly recommended! The zip lines were breathtaking and extremely fun. JK and the rest of the crew regard safety as the #1 priority so you have nothing to worry about. After we were guided to the "human roller coaster", I won't give anything away but my whole group said this was scarier than the ziplines. True but also amazing. Lastly, we took a caravan to their private cenote for a quick, refreshing swim. BEST PART OF THE EXCURSION! Such a relaxing constrast to the adrenaline rush of the ziplines. Then it was off to lunch, chicken fajitas and rice. Simple but authentic. During lunch, they give you iPads so you can see the pictures they took of you during with excursion, with an option to buy them. Overall, amazing value for the price. The service was top notch. JK and the crew are great people.
Selvatica is an incredibly unique experience that can top any company in Cancun. We did the Xtreme Canopy Tour through via the website and we loved it! The environment was extremely friendly and welcoming. We felt like we were part of the jungle in the safest manner possible. The guys here are very professional and they all personalized our experience. The zip lines are super fun and the place is beautiful. You feel very safe the whole time, but also know that you are safe in the hands of the experienced staff. We loved that they took our photos with the parrots; in fact, we purchased the photo package because they did such a great job. At the end, we had lunch, and it was very good and relaxing after a long day of zip-lining and cenote swimming. We would recommend this place to anyone; it was really amazing. Shout out to our tour guide Dennis from Arizona. DENNIS is the man!!! Actually, the entire staff has amazing energy and was very helpful and friendly! I'm afraid of heights and each staff member made me feel safe and encourage me to "face my fears." I recommend this to anyone visiting Cancun. You will definitely get your money's worth!
"Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games", is the best way I can describe this place. You don't need to be a thrill seeker to enjoy this place. The staff really makes you feel comfortable. From ATVs, to sink holes, to zip lining and bungee jumping, they have it all. Activities for all! Just be sure to bring the bug spray and sun block.

The experience I had was great. First of all I believe the tour guides makes up for a great experience in the excursion. Thank you Alex and Paco. I did the 12 course zip line, ATV and then the cenote swim after. Oh and they fed us a delicious authentic Mexican meal which was just AMAZEBALLS!! Anyways, I suggest you do the zip line upside down, it's a great experience. So much adrenaline. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom, not too pleasant but then again it is a "jungle" lol. read more

This was an outstanding excursion for our family! Eduardo was our guide and was outstanding! We loved the ATV tour through the mud...you will get wet and dirty! The cenote swim was good and ziplining, superfly, bungee swing and coasters were all fun. Tons of stairs to climb and some waiting in lines but overall a great experience! Take a snack, sunscreen, water camera/gopro and a towel with a change of clothes. Rent the locker and come with a positive attitude! The pictures are worth it, but don't pay full price. Food and snacks offered were great! read more

Amazing experience! We had a party of 9 ranging from 10 yrs old to early 50's, we did all the zip lines, cenote jumping, off roading on the Polaris, and finished up with the lunch and climbed up to the mirador. Ruben our guide was amazing, really nice guy, good and patient with the kiddos, etc. Just an amazing, refreshing experience. read more

When I say this place is amazing that is simply an understatement. The employees were super friendly, hilarious and knowledgeable. They made me and my friends feel so comfortable. And when I got nervous they motivated me. The food was amazing as well and I really appreciate how they were able to accommodate my friend who is a pescatarian with a delicious meal. Juanelo and Ricardo hold a special place in our hearts now! It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to come back!! read more

My son and I had a blast here today! Our tour guide J.K. was above and beyond helpful, fun, and entertaining. The lunch at the end was delicious. The photographers took so many fabulous photos, and let us take time to see all of them after lunch, but without pressure to purchase unless desired. Thank you for a great excursion! read more

The most AMAZING experience EVER!! Let me start by saying I AM AFRAID OF HEIGHTS! You would have never known that after the Selvatica staff was done with me. It was truly an experience I will cherish for life and was great to knock it off my bucket list. The ziplining was amazing, ATVs were fun and beautiful at the water hole. The entire staff were fun, amazing beings that made the whole adventure even better. Highly recommend! read more

Fun and safe! When you think of leaving the safe Cancun resorts to explore the beauty of Mexico and what it has to offer, you think of safety. This place is safe! Yeah the way there stuff could happen but nothing did. Staff was great, super friendly, and spoke English (for those concerned that they only speak Spanish). We booked our excursion here directly through our resort as this was the most secure way to go about it and especially after reading horror stories about how some tourists got scammed by booking through other unreliable sources. Got a shared shuttle and based on the 4 of us going from our hotel, we had to stop by 3 other resorts before we were all on our way. If you have 10+ then I'm sure you will get your own ride there, which is all included in your price. We opted for the ATV tour which first took us through 5-6 zip lines of different heights and lengths, which are all totally safe and secure. Wish we would've brought our chest harness to capture everything but hey, we made the best of it. After this, we rode our ATVs. It's 1 person per ATV but it's a guided tour and it had been raining earlier so it was muddy but oh so fun! The tour was about 30 mins or so but seemed shorter maybe because of all the fun we had. Stopped by a cenote on the premises. A cenote is a sinkhole with natural spring water in it. The water is clear and some 15+ deep. They're natural and extremely beautiful. Sad we only spent about 15 mins here since we had to go back to eat our free meal (well it was included in our package) then head back to our resorts before sunset. All in all, this place is a nice getaway from the resort if you want to experience a little bit of Mexico's beauty. read more

WOW!!! Selvatica was such a great experience for our group of 11, including 5 kids ages 11-15. We did the Gimme All tour, which included zip lining, roller coaster - Tarzania, swimming, ATVs, Superman zipline, bungee and the walking bridges. EVERYONE there is beyond friendly! Ennio was fantastic and made you feel very safe, often double checking the connections. Delicious lunch of fajitas, rice and beans. We got picked up at our hotel at 7:40 and arrived back around 5pm. Amazing service! Smiles all around. You feel like a part of their Jungle family. Worth every penny. Was our favorite day in Cancun. Highly recommend! read more

My friend and I booked through tripadvisor/viator and it was about $90/person. The hotel pickup and drop off was a great plus! Let's get to the real fun and service. Upon arrival we had an extremely friendly tour guide that helped us throughout the tour. The entire staff spoke English and was extremely friendly& kind. It was all around good vibes and atmosphere. They thoroughly explain the instructions and they're always making conversation between the zip lines while hooking/unhooking you! I just absolutely loved them and their friendliness. I wish I could give 10 stars because every one was so kind and sweet. I ended the tour with a new friend now! The cenote zip lining was a blast too!!! They drive us there on this big army truck and it was like a roller coaster due to the bumpiness. It was definitely worth the sore butt! They ended the tour with a lunch and played videos of our entire tour that they recorded. The package we got cost around $90 USD but it was well worth it! The photos came out amazing and since we do a lot of intense activities and water activities, there's just no way to bring your devices unless it's a head-strapped GoPro. read more

So glad we chose this excursion over the others! We did the ATV adventure which included zip lining and ATV adventure and a swim in the cenote which was much needed after being in the heat all day. The staff here is amazing!!! They are so friendly and enthusiastic and really make you feel safe. The food is good too! The excursion included a meal after all the festivities! Can't wait to go back and do it again! read more

AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!! If you're looking for adventure and thrilling activities, look no further!! Selvatica was beyond amazing from the moment we arrived to when we had to be pried away from the staff and head back to Cancun. We purchased the "Gimme All" package and it was well worth it. The aerial walk was a great start to get our bodies jumping. I almost lost my life because I was so scared to do the bunjee swing but it was too much fun!! The 10 zip lines were too much fun and the staff made it so much better!! I even got to zip line upside down! The ATVs were fun but the course was too short, in my opinion. The cenote is a must!! Especially with the zip line that drops you right into the water. Everyone must do the Superman zip line! I was beyond scared but it was so exhilarating being that high and having that scenic view. There are photographers everywhere! So I suggest everyone stays camera ready and purchase the pictures at the end. Snacks and lunch were very delicious!! We were able to get seconds. First aid is readily available if needed as I got a splinter that they immediately removed for me. One more thing, the staff is beyond amazing!! You can tell that they truly enjoy their jobs. They treated us like family and gravitated towards us the entire day so they made the experience 10x better. I travel often and this was Seriously one of the best experiences ever! ... I've attached the names of all the employees that we loved and made our experience that much better!! read more

We did the Xtreme Canopy Tour through Olympus while staying at Paradisus La Perla and we loved it! The guys here are very professional, but also total daredevils who make sure you have a great time. The ziplines are super fun and the place is beautiful. You feel very safe the whole time, but also know that you are safe in the hands of the experienced staff. We loved that they took our photos with the parrots; in fact, we purchased the photo package because they did such a great job. At the end, we had lunch, and it was very tasty and relaxing after a long day of zip-lining. Also, they were working on an an environmental project, so we were able to plant a seed with our names on the marker, so their environmentalism is very cool, too (it is, after all, an eco park). We would recommend this place to anyone; it was really great. Visited June 2015 read more
