I personally use GetYourGuide and Viator when booking tours, as both platforms offer a great cancellation policy, allowing you to cancel your activity up to 24 hours in advance and get a full refund. This is especially appreciated in current times when plans could change unexpectedly. 

Xplor 

Located about an hour from Cancun, the adventure park Xplor is one of the best options for adrenaline-junkies, as it offers all sorts of activities, from rafting through caves filled with stalactites to driving an amphibious vehicle through flooded caverns and thick jungle roads, swimming in subterranean rivers and ziplining in the highest zipline in the peninsula, that’s 49 meters high.
