Full-Day Bávaro Adventure Park: Buggy Circuit, 6-Line Zipline & Blue Lagoon Float

Full-Day Bávaro Adventure Park: Buggy Circuit, 6-Line Zipline & Blue Lagoon Float

Race dusty tracks in a dune buggy, thread a six-line zipline that ends in a splash pool, then cool off in the Blue Lagoon cenote—Bávaro Adventure Park packages high-energy rides and calmer floats into a single, well-run day. Here’s what to expect and how to prepare.

The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early or confirm pickup

Be ready 60 minutes before departure if you need transfer pickup; self-arrivals should be at the park 30 minutes early to check in and get briefed.

Closed-toe shoes required

The buggy and zipline require sturdy, closed sports shoes—flip-flops aren’t allowed during activities and are only for after the course.

Lock valuables before activities

Personal items aren’t allowed on rides; use on-site lockers (small fee) or leave items in your transfer vehicle to avoid loss.

Use reef-safe sunscreen for cenote swims

Chemical sunscreens can harm freshwater ecosystems—choose a mineral-based sunscreen before entering the Blue Lagoon.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Blue Lagoon cenote cavern—explore the darker cave passage adjacent to the main float (supervised).
  • Jungle River cavern—an atmospheric, less-visited section with small cascades and rock curtains ideal for photos.

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas basking on trail edges
  • Tropical birds such as parakeets and bananaquits in the treeline

Conservation Note

The park manages freshwater features and asks guests to use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid soap in cenotes; follow staff instructions to minimize impact on fragile karst formations.

Bávaro’s tourism infrastructure expanded rapidly from the 1970s onward; the park leverages the region’s karst geology—sinkholes and cenotes formed in ancient coral limestone.
