Tulum isn’t just about paradise-looking beaches, despite what most visitors assume. It’s a playground for the adventurous at heart, with its lush jungle, gorgeous cenotes, and exhilarating zipline circuits.
As someone who has spent considerable time exploring every corner of this region, I can vouch for the thrill that Tulum offers, especially when it comes to ziplining.
I’ve personally tried and loved ziplining in Tulum, though I have to warn you: it’s not your average adventure! You’ll be soaring at heart-racing speeds over the lush jungle, which offers an unbeatable blend of thrill and natural beauty… but there’s even more.
Tulum’s zipline tours often come with a side of extra excitement, like ATV rides on rugged jungle paths and canoeing through mystical underground rivers.
I’ve put together a hand-picked list of the best zipline tours in Tulum. These are tours I’ve personally vetted and chosen for their unique experiences, safety standards, and fun factor.
➥ Why can you trust me? I have been curating tour guides for a decade now, and I’ve traveled around Mexico enough to consider myself a bit of an expert in its stunning attractions.
I went ziplining and adventuring in some of the best Riviera Maya parks, and know exactly what to look for when selecting tours in the area. In this post, you’ll only find high-quality excursions that are guaranteed to be worth your while.
I use Viator and Get Your Guide to book tours and activities around the world. I especially love that they have free cancellation on certain activities. If your plans change, you can get a full refund if you cancel up to 24 hours in advance.

OUR PICK: The BEST Zipline in Tulum
This Xplor Park Admission With Lunch and Drinks *Official Product* grants you access to all the thrilling adventures at Zplor Park. It’s guaranteed to be an adrenaline-packed day!

I thought I was going to be afraid but after the first zipline or two, it was just exhilarating! Such an adrenaline rush.
Then, hit the jungle trails on an amphibious vehicle, passing by incredible caves, and paddle a raft on an underground river. Many people come to Xplor just for the ziplines, but I found these other activities to be extra fun as well, and there are new attractions since I last visited…maybe it’s time to go back!
You can also swim amidst stalactites and stalagmites, hike underground, and go down Toboganxote, the only 5-in-1 waterslide in the world.

But it’s not just me saying it! Read what the reviews say:
“This was the best part of our vacation! When we got there, we thought that the lines would be long everywhere we went. However, the park is so large that we never stood in a line to do an activity. There is SO much to do and explore. This, by far was our favorite excursion we visited.”
