Xplor, from Xcaret Park and Xel Ha Park family, is a highly recommend adventure tour on the Riviera Maya, only about 5-10 minute drive from downtown Playa del Carmen and 45 minutes from Cancun.

A day at Xplor is certainly a highlight of your trip vacation in Cancun that you can’t miss.

You will begin your day with the zip lines which are an awesome experience. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs though. Zip lines are so much fun. You will see people in front of us that are very scared or maybe you will be, but the only thing you have to worry about is to enjoy flying over the lush jungle of the Riviera Maya. Take your time, breathe and have fun because the zip lines are very safe and the employees are very professional and helpful, they always make sure that your gear is well fastened before you let yourself go. Scary the first time you pick your feet up, but once you realize what is it about you will be so happy to be there.

Wear shorts and water socks as the harness can rub your thighs and don’t wear flip flops, they won’t stay on.  

You cannot carry any personal things during the journey. The walk is long and the zip lines include some water landings and a slide. You will get wet, wear something that dries easy, and remember a change of clothes for the ride home.

It is recommendable to wear water shoes. Besides, Xplor will take pictures of you along your excursion and you will be able to purchase them at the end of the day, so you don’t even have to worry about taking care of a camera. There will be a locker where you will be able to keep all your stuff.

The second favorite part of Xplor adventure is swimming through the underwater river, the water is clear and fresh and you will be astonished by the rock formations. Underground River Paddle: is lots of fun too. You will get an arm work out. It is much easier to get around in the single person boat. People get stuck if they don’t have a good synchronization on the doubles.

Driving the Amphibious Vehicles through the jungle and caves are totally fun too. Try to arrive early to be able to have enough time to do all the activities before Xplor closes.

Xplor is totally well worth what you pay and if you purchase online in advance you get a discount in your tickets.

Xcaret Plus Tickets include Xplor in addition to Xcaret Park Attractions and the Xcaret Night Show (Xcaret Mexico Espectacular).
