Default Best Zip Lining in Cancun?

My girlfriend and I will be at Temptation between Feb 10-17th and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for good zip lining places?

We've done it in Canada and Jamaica, are the lines near Cancun comparable and worth doing?

I went in July, and the towel hut, im pretty sure pushed us towards the extreme adventure one. I wouldnt call that the best, Ive been in canada, and this was nothing like it. It seems I'm also not very good at stopping with one glove.
One more thing, Im not in love with ATV'ing in the back woods of Mexico. So, I would probably go with the other one if I go again.

Thanks for the info! So Kimmiey was the backwoods ATV thing at xplor? Their ziplines look good from a search on Youtube, the caves could be cool as well, but don't want to be eaten alive by bugs on an ATV in the back woods....will be sure to skip that part if that's where you referring to!

Yes, bring lots of bug spray, then it wont be that bad.
Well, we went Ziplinging first, and if there is a big group, there is some waiting (we were 12 or 13). then we went ATVing, they will try to put couples on one, not a good idea, dangerous as they are meant for one person, i crapped my pants a few times not being in control. We atv'ed to two dirrent cenotes, very beautiful, but I didnt swim, Im not a lover of freezing water, and it was july.
I dont want to complain, I really enjoyed the ziplinging, they take a tonne of pics which you can split within the group, we were able to.
I still have the brochure, if you want, PM me your email, Ill scan it to you tomorrow.

We did the extreme adventure zipline also last May, we had a blast. There were 8 people in our group, all from TTR. None of us used any bug spray and had no problem at all with bugs. We went in middle of May which is the dry season so the only thing that was an issue was the dust while ATVing, so wear a bandana or a shirt over your nose and mouth and sunglasses are a must.

You do about 5 ziplines first, they were fun. You then take the ATV's and head out to 2 cenotes. You do put 2 people on each ATV, they are standard ATV's that seat 2 and we had a blast tear assing around the jungle. The first cenote is open, maybe a 30 drop if you want to jump in. All the younger kids in our group of 8 (23-25 years old) did multiple dives. Us older people walked down the steps to enjoy our swim, lol. Since we were all from TTR we went skinny dipping (smile), you then head over to a 2nd cenote which is underground. You can jump into the hole in the ground and splash into the water, or walk down. Once in the cave they have a float dock, zipline, canoe, swing, and a few other items to have fun on.

I'm sure the adventure does not compare to Xplore. The zip lines are through the trees, not over them, and they are relativly short. You sit front and back on the ATV's, not side by side and the cave is no where near as big, but then again, either is the price. It was about a 4 or 5 hour day vs an all day adventure and that was fine with us. Maybe next time we'll try Xplore, but for now we enjoyed our day trip.

Overall it was a great time, we all slept in the van on the way back to TTR

We have many pictures, if you would like to see any or have any questions just contact us Bambi_SC3@yahoo.com

The signs and stickers on the ATVs that said "no passengers"/"one person only" lead me to believe the reason why I kept sliding off was because it was too small for the two of us.
