Swim through three Cancun cenotes, ride a zipline, jump from platforms, and sample tequila on this lively small-group adventure.

“The tour guide and the photographer were the only good thing about this tour. We only spent 20 minutes at each location. Tequila tasting took the entire time at the second cenota in which we did not even get to get in and swim. After 1 or two jumps you have to move to the next location. Do not pay for the upgrades.. we were promised unlimited snacks and food as well as alcohol to only be denied food at the restaurant, no alcoholic beverages were even offered other than watered down margaritas and modelo beer that everyone received.”

6.4×4 ATV Experience, Water Cave, Chocolate and Coffee Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,430 reviews · from $56

Ride a 4x4 ATV through Punta Cana, taste Dominican coffee and chocolate, swim in a cave, and relax at Macao Beach.

“The ATV riding was a lot of fun, although shorter than anticipated. Felix was a fun and helpful guide. The water cave was a nice, quick stop, but the coffee/chocolate tasting wasn't the cultural experience I had hoped for. It was a sales pitch and time to buy Dominican products. The ride to Macao beach was the best part of the trip, and we enjoyed swimming for about 25 minutes. If you're really looking to get dirty (mud-soaked), go for the buggy rides. You stay pretty clean on the ATVs. The worst part of the experience was the shuttle. We received notification of our pick-up time and location less than…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 722 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $70

Review of Cancun’s Mayan Jungle Rush with ziplines, ATVs, cenote swim, horseback riding, tacos, tequila, costs, and practical tips.

“Each activities was shorter than stated. Lots of time wasted at then end just standing around. As others stated, it’s just a pit to spend more money. They convince you that you need things from their shop for the activities. They try to get you to order extra food and tequila. Everyone needs tipped. Four wheeling was probably the only activity that was actually 30 mins long. Horseback riding was MAYBE 10 minutes and the horses are aggressive with each other. My tour was at 9:30am, they picked me up from my hotel at 7:05 and dropped me off at 3:30pm… for a 4 hour activity.”

Soak in a beer or wine bath, sip Bernard beer or Prosecco, and relax in Prague’s largest salt cave.

“Wonderful experience. I picked this one over the many other Beer Spa experiences as I don't like beer and this offered a wine spa option. My skin felt lovely and soft afterwards and it was a lovely 'warm' break from all the sightseeing in the -3 degree weather!! The host was really lovely and we got a couple of bottles of beer as gifts to take away too. The venue was great - very clean and welcoming. The only slight complaint was that I was unable to book a beer spa and wine spa option together (ie: the beer for my partner and the wine for me) so had to…”
