Xplor Park Admission with Lunch and Drinks *Official Product*
Book on Viator →Operated by Grupo Xcaret · Bookable on Viator
Four adventures, one ticket.
Xplor Park turns the Riviera Maya into one long adrenaline-and-cenote day, where you drive amphibious vehicles, paddle underground rivers, and fly on zip lines. I love how it feels like nature first—underground caves, stalactites, and water—then action on top.
I especially like the included lunch buffet with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, so you can keep going without planning food stops. I also like that you get a locker for two, which makes it easier to carry less and not worry about valuables around wet areas. The one drawback to plan for: it’s a popular park, so waits can get long on busier days—especially for the zip lines.

Key things to know before you go

Zip lines (14 lines) and the above-water circuit
Xplor also includes two circuits with 14 zip lines, with lines that run at different heights and speeds. You can hit up to 19 mph (30 km/h) on the course. The course includes big moments where you speed between lines and then end with splash and water landing fun.
This is where planning your timing matters most. On peak days, zip lines can create the longest waits. The park can also feel busy, so going in early helps a lot.
Pro tip: bring or wear water shoes that stay put. One common mistake is assuming your shoes will stay secure while zip lining and splashing. Better grip and a secure fit can prevent a very annoying mid-adventure scramble.
Treetops, a slide, and the splashy finale moments
Your ticket includes water and splash attractions like Toboganxote, a 5-in-1 giant slide that ends in a wave pool, plus the hammock splash. These are the parts of the day that add variety after the underground and the high-flying zip line segment.
Also, the park is set up with photo opportunities. Photos aren’t included in your ticket, but there are plenty of built-in spots where you’ll naturally want a picture.
