My Love and I had SO MUCH FUN here acting like a couple of regular fools! We selected the evening visit option, which runs from 5:00 PM -11:30 PM. We didn't want to be running around in the hot sun, and we figured the lines would be lighter in the evening. Surprisingly, it was still super busy! We visited in early January, and the evening temperatures were mild. You can visit as many attractions as you like during your visit. We started out ziplining and moved our way to the amphibious vehicles, cave rafts, and a few water slides. Our faces hurt from laughing so much. The provided dinner is buffet style and surprisingly good! Lots of options, including vegan and vegetarian. The dining hall is huge, so you're not siting elbow-to-elbow with randoms. They spaced everyone out nicely (plus not everyone is dining at the same time). Water shoes are required. You can purchase them on-site for $20, and these suckers will last you a lifetime. They're nice quality and comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis, and my feet were protected and cushioned the entire time. Helmets are required and provided. There are lockers, but the rooms are all co-ed. You will need to bring your own towel. Phones are discouraged, as you need to hold on with both hands when participating in many of the activities. You can buy a waterproof case to hang around your neck if you'd like. YOU WILL GET WET ON NEARLY EVERY RIDE. Wear swimwear and something over it if you don't want your hiney hanging out. The staff are SUPER patient and very friendly. Everyone is bilingual (Spanish/English) so no worries about communication barriers. This place is fun for kids all the way up to (fit) senior citizens. There is a lot of walking, so be forewarned! Taxis are easy to catch here, with the assistance of the outdoor staff. It was about a $40 fare from and to our Riviera Maya hotel (Hard Rock). I am still laughing my head off!
Just spent 4 nights at Hotel Xcaret Arte and this park was included. We decided to do Xplor Fuego so this review is specifically for that. It's basically the same options but at night. We started off with the 5 in 1 Slide, which was really exhilarating and honestly very fun. It got quite intense at parts, but it was easy to hang on and we all enjoyed it. The walk up was quite a lot though. Next, we did the seven different zip lines which comprised the zip line course. It ends with you basically going into the water to complete the course. It was really fun and it was my first time ever zip lining so doing it at night above the jungle was a great way to start. We also did the river expedition, which is basically you walking through a river route that gets up to about 4 to 4 1/2 feet deep. There are other activities, but those were the main highlights. I would recommend and think it is even more fun at night than it would be during the day and a lot cooler in temperature.
Such an awesome park to visit if you are in the Cancun/tulum area. The underwater expedition and river swim was my favorite!! Very unique experience and love how they have photo op locations throughout the park. Longest wait was for the huge 5-in-1 water slide. Other than that everything else had a relative short wait. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you plan to visit this area. Buffet was OK. I did notice some flies flying around and landing on food so just be weary Also make sure to bring a pair of water shoes and towels!!
We had an AMAZING time at Xplor and I have to say the buffet was the star of the show. This was definitely the best place we ate at while visiting Mexico! The buffet was huge and plentiful with food ranging from fresh fruit, a variety of tacos, chicken wings (with some delicious spiciness), a ceviche bar, fresh meat being cut in front of you, a guacamole bar, ice cream... literally everything and it was all so dang good! Now to the attractions, I really enjoyed the zip lines, we did both routes and they were a fun thrill! The ATVs were so fun, we were able to drive them for what felt like a long time. We did the river walk which was actually pretty difficult being short. I'm about 5'5, but I struggled to stay up in certain parts where my life jacket wasn't totally working. We did the water slide which was also a great thrill -- it was so fun because it was so long compared to most water slides (it has 5 sections). We didn't do the hammock zipline (the line was pretty long and we already did the regular zip lines which ended in the water). We saved the canoe boats for last and thank goodness - they were very backed up because people didn't know how to row. We spent about 35 mins in there right before closing and that was only because people didn't know what they were doing. All in all, we spent the day here and had an amazing time! Would love to try the other XCARET! Parks but also would definitely come back here! It was a great time.
I thought this was a little spendthrift when I was looking at this as an activity for our family of six. But a friend told me it was totally worth it - and I'm so glad I listened to them because it was a perfect day. From ATV driving to zip lining from 13 different towers as high as 140 feet high and 700M long, to swimming in cenotes and some gnarly water slides - it was incredible. And the food was good, the service was fantastic. We will be back!!
I love this place! I came here with my child who's very terrified of heights and she loved it. We did zip lining, waterslide, exploring cenotes, and amphibious vehicles. They give you a helmet to wear the entire time. You should bring your phone water proof cell phone holder, towel, reef safe sunscreen, change of clothes and water shoes. If you have to buy something there, it's very pricey. My favorite was the water slides and exploring cenotes. It's so breathtaking walking through the caves and stalagmites. Be ready for 15000 steps and lots of adventures!!!
Had an awesome time visiting with family. We visited Xcaret and Xplor and I was kind of concerned with Xplor since I had two seniors and one kid under 10. I assumed Xcaret would be more for them but overall my family enjoyed Xplor more. Got picked up early in the morning and we were done before 5pm. The Zip line and the underground river was the highlight of our trip. We didn't get to do the water slides as one of my kids were scared. The ATV ride was very bumpy and we didn't want to get wet but we did. My suggestions if visiting is to do the water slides and zip lines first as they get backed up the most. We did the underground river first and then changed into dry clothes. This was the same strategy suggested at Xcaret. You will get wet in the zip lines and in the ATV ride. Bring water shoes and bring dry shoes. We only brought water shoes and it was pretty uncomfortable and wet the entire day. The lunch was fantastic! They had ayce lobster! I think it was seasonal and we just got lucky. I saw other pics and they had crab legs instead. Best of all, you can stop by unlimited times. Definitely recommend.
Xplor park was a fun and exciting day! If you like to be active and have your adrenaline pumping then this is the park for you! I definitely recommend paying for the shuttle service. This service picked us up from our resort at 7:50am, brought us to Xplor and took us back to our resort after the park closed at 5pm. Be prepared to be there for 8 hours. Bring a towel and change of clothes so you feel clean and dry for the ride home. The buffet was good but don't leave your plate unattended because the birds fly in and eat off the plates lol! The zip lining was safe and fun. We zip lined for almost 3 hours after completing both circuits!! We did everything except the hammock splash, we ran out of time and we're tired near the end of the day! We purchased the photo package which was definitely worth it, however they said it was $89 USD but they charged my debit card $119 so I'm not sure why that extra $30 was added on.
This place is highly recommended, highly recommended to attend night-time during feugo.... Came back here twice if we so fun... Fyi better be ready for a workout on the ziplines... there is alot of climbing on multiple towers but overall great time...

My wife and I visited the park yesterday, and started with the subterranean portion of the park, which was an amazing experience. We dropped in the cool water and began walking through the underground waterway, with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites surrounding us. (Quite refreshing, from the hot and humid summer heat of the jungle surroundings). Later in the evening we climbed the top of the large water slide. I was not ready for the twists and turns, along with the stomach to the mouth unexpected downward plunging sections. At the end of the ride, I was both exhilarated and exhausted! One of the park employees, Issac, who is now my hero, noticed how fatigued I was and went out of his way to help me out. Leading me to a nearby hammock, where I spent a few hours getting my equilibrium back under control. At the end of the night, Issac unexpectedly returned and presented me with a few complimentary gifts, a beautiful embroidered tote bag and a stone night light with the Heart emblem with the Xplor logo on the front. It truly touched my "corazon". Shout out to Issac!! From the old guy on vacation from Texas. I'll always remember you and will add this to one of stories I tell my friends and family. read more
The zip line course was a highlight, my family would definitely come back for that alone. All activities we did were great fun. Minor criticisms - *It was a little confusing to get around, as signage was a bit inconsistent and occasionally conspicuous until you got your general bearings. *Food was pretty meh, if you're staying at an Xcaret Hotel I'd try to eat before/after your visit, if possible. *The water slide rider thru put isn't great, so I imagine wait times on very busy days can get out of hand in a hurry. I also complained about the helmets all day long until I soundly wacked my head and was 12/10 glad to have it on . read more

Best day out for an active family. It's all day and you will be wet all day so plan for it. But definitely worth it. Much more expensive but significantly better than alternatives in the area. The food was also very good. Would absolutely do it again. read more
Oooooh I loved this adventure park!! Hours of fun!!! From the six zip lines, to the carts, the swimming in the caves, and then the food...I loved it all. Located in playa Del Carmen, this park screams culture and fun! It was 70° and a little chilly with all of the water excursions. But we still had fun and myself and son was able to go back in to the restaurant for hot tea and Coco to warm us up. Every staff here goes out of their way to assist; I must have gotten lost three times. Memories were made here! read more
Excellent family fun day at Xplor park. Came here while staying in Tulum and have to say it was a choice well made. The Xcaret parks are very well done and have plenty to do for all ages. Recommend to conquer the zip lining first early in the day as it is a one hour affair. The park allows you to do zip lining once per visit to the park so it's good to get that out of the way. Out of the two choices for zip lining adventures I recommend the jaguar route as it's longer and more adventurous. Water shoes are recommended as your feet will certainly get wet. They say you are not allowed to carry anything on the zip lining but we saw locals and guests carrying their phones around their neck in the water proof cases and true ogs had GoPro's attached to their helmets. We opted for the photo package as there are many photo opp spots throughout the park and it seemed like decent value. The food here is delicious and there is a wide variety of food that is delicious and nutritious. Beverages are good and the Horchata is great here. The vehicle ride is bumpy but a lot of fun! Overall 5 stars! read more

This park is awesome!! It's such a wonderful mix of natural beauty and fun activities. There's so much to do here and you can choose to spend the day at XPlor or the night at "XPlor fuego" Some of my highlights are: Zip lining - there are two circuits of zip lines. One of them has 7 zip lines and the other has 5. There's such a fun variety of shorter lines and longer ones - the longest is really high up and takes more than a minute to complete! There are also zip lines that end in water, so come prepared to get wet and it's highly recommended to have close toed water shoes. Just so you know, there's a lot of walking up towers and stairs to get between the zip lines, so be prepared for a bit of a workout! Amphibious vehicles - be sure to get here early if you want to avoid the line! We got there around 10:30am and didn't have to wait, but by the time we completed the loop (which is a great length, not too short at all!), there was a line. This activity lets you drive a 4-seated vehicle off road, through caves, and into puddles of water. It's lots of fun to be a passenger and the driver, and anyone over 18 can drive the vehicle! Underground expedition - you need to have close toed shoes for this activity since much of it is walking through caves in a shallow water but on rocks. The caves are really cool and covered in stalactites, just note that the water is a bit colder down in the cave. Also, the path includes two short water slides! It's a one-way path that takes about 45 min to complete! There's so much more to do than what I just mentioned - there's an included restaurant for lunch, other places to grab food and drinks, an underground raft, and a water slide coming soon! read more

Xplor was so incredibly fun. I definitely pushed the envelope of what I would have thought my comfort zone would be, and had an absolute blast doing it ;-) read more
This is was one of my favorite parks. You do lots of walking and all well worth it. Each activity has an adrenaline that a child to an older person can do. If you are up for fun and scenic view this is the place for you. Don't miss out and book this place! Where to go? Cancun, Mexico read more

So tickets to this park do seem a little pricey but what you get for your money is worth it. A day is just enough to try all activities once and to do a couple of them twice. Very well organized and extremely helpful staff! I actually have a pretty legitimate fear of heights, but I decided to go for it and had an amazing time. Also, you can pop over and get some of the best fresh juices anytime you want unlimited. And the buffet that is included might be the best I've ever had! Of the trips if you were going to skip one it would be the river "boat" trip - the river swim was amazing but the "boats" were a little awkward-it would have been easier to swim again! read more
If you ever find yourself in Cancun Mexico ( why wouldn't you anyway lol), get you some tickets to Xplor! Most resorts have a shuffle to and from the amusement park so check with your guest services. I recommend you purchase thr tickets online ( sometimes you may get a better deal or atleast a coupon). The Xplor offers an under water cave, ziplines, RVs, and all you can eat lunch! It's definitely a full day of activities so be prepared. The day goes pretty fast! read more
Booked this excursions cause I wanted to do a bunch of activities in one place. The vibe is cool. You have many activities : zip lines, buggy ride through the caves, swimming, and walking through cenotes. And you can do it as many times as you wish. They drop you off at the park at about 9ish and your there until 5pm. Yeah you are there till 5pm .. So no need to blow through everything, relax, enjoy the vibes. Get some EXCLUSIVE ( INCLUDED) grub and cool juice drinks they offer. The spot is like a adult /active young adult playground. If your seeking to do something different while in Mexico . I recommend this park. They have many different ones, but as I mentioned, I chose this one because of the ATV experience it offered :the ones that roll through the water.. read more
I love this place. Out of all the excursions we went on. This park by far was the best. From walking in the bottom of the ocean. To driving atv's. The buffets and the view. You can't beat it. We will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend this park for your next excursion! read more

Talk about a wonderful experience! Xplor was all that, plus some! Ziplining has long been an item on my bucket list, one that I thought I would never check off. But during my honeymoon this past week in Playa de Carmen, I did just that! Early Saturday morning, a shuttle was sent to our hotel at Fairmont Mayakoba to pick us up for the excursion. The driver checked our names when we got onto the shuttle and they were checked in again when we arrived at Xplor. Our tour guide provided us with an explanation of what to expect while in the park, suggested the order we should do every activity and provided us with waivers to sign before sending us on our way. We checked in with another person to obtain our helmets, purchase a photo package if desired and obtain a key for the complimentary locker. Personally, I purchased the photo package and wasn't too thrilled with what we received. For 79.99, I expected better shots, but the quality of the pictures we received was just ok. We decided to do ziplining first, as our guide suggested and I am glad that we did, as the line grew extremely long by the time we completed each portion. The actually ziplining was amazing, but the walking in between towers and the heat was almost unbearable! I feel sorry for anyone who physically couldn't complete the activity, because they said it was literally no turning back, you had to just tough it out. After ziplining, we hit the cafe! The crew working here were constantly cleaning and sanitizing, making sure the guests were safe. We were assigned a table and given sanitizer prior to touching anything. While we were able to pour our own drinks, we had someone serve our food which was set up in stations, buffet-style. The food was absolutely amazing! Next we hit the paddle boats and the ATVs. While the sights during paddle boating through the caves were amazing, paddling with your hands was quite a feat. It was very tiring and seems almost impossible to steer. The sights while riding the ATVs were equally amazing, but the terrain was very rough and hard on the body. Despite the blazing hot sun and long, taxing treks, I am very thankful I was able to take part in this experience. My husband and I made memories that will last us a lifetime. Literally, this has been an amazing honeymoon and Xplor made it that much better. read more
My family and I had an amazing time at Xplor Park! My kids loved the ziplining the most. From swimming in the cenote to relaxing at the hammock you can spend all day here. The photo package is worth it! We received over 100 high resolution photos. The buffet was amazing and even had crab legs! They also have juice bars and snack sections everywhere. I think the whole package deal is a great value! read more
Xplor was a great time! I believe we did every activity, and time flies by! The buffet was huge and had great options. There was even bone marrow! A lot of photo ops, I walked walk through a few different times throughout your time there to get a few different options and explore at the same time. My favorite was the water raft through the cave, being in the water in a cave is such a rad experience. read more

This place was too much fun but make sure to get to the bus pickup spots on time. We unfortunately missed the morning bus and had to arrange for alternative transportation. Aside from this we had a blast the entire day. We were able to go through all of the zip lining, the new water slide, atv, eat twice, and do a couple of other activities before the day ended. If you're looking for an outdoor activity I would definitely check this place out but be prepared to walk a lot. read more

My favorite park out of all of XCARET's parks There were so many activities and I can't wait to come back. Activities we participated in: 1. Zip lining tour 2. Underground swimming 3. ATV The zip lining lines were long and so fun, especially the last one that ended up in the water. My group spent about 2 hours on zip lines. The underground river was unique, swimming with stalactites around us in clear water. It ended with this really smooth and long water slide The ATV was prob my favorite since I was the driver! The drive was longer than I expected and driving in the water, curvy bumpy roads, into caves, with friends was definitely an experience to remember. read more
