When it comes to parks in Mexico, Xcaret Park and Xplor Park are two of the most visited when vacationers travel to the Riviera Maya. I visited Xcaret Park twice during the same vacation several years ago while staying at Hotel Xcaret Mexico; Grupo Xcaret hotels allow guests to visit many Riviera Maya parks without paying admission fees with the hotels’ All-Fun Inclusive concept.

This time around I will be spending a fun day at Xplor Park; my upcoming stay at Hotel Xcaret Arte includes the same All-Fun Inclusive concept, so my fun day is free! Xplor Park has several areas to visit–ziplines, underground rivers, and an amphibious vehicle drive. I’m up for the drive and the underground river swim, but I may have to be selective about the ziplining…
Has anyone already visited this park? What did you think about your experience there? Feel free to post your comments below. In the meantime, here’s a video summarizing the Xplor Park experience.
I was there about 7 years ago. I am afraid of heights but like to challenge myself, so I did one of the zipline options, plus the other thing that included canoeing in a grotto, driving a car on tracks, etc.
The ziplining was the best part – no fear, yay!
The other part sucked. We had people in front of us on the cars that kept stopping, jumping out to take pictures and getting back in. The fumes from their car were making us sick.
On the canoe ride we had people in front of us who clearly had never been in a canoe and didn’t know how to paddle … AT ALL. So it took forever to get through that part.
In conclusion, as an adult I would only do the ziplining and skip the other stuff. I suppose it’s great if you have little ones … just hope that you don’t get stuck behind inconsiderate people.
Oh no!! I never thought about getting stuck behind a vehicle with people who want to stop every 5 seconds!! I don’t plan on doing the raft option, I plan on doing the underground river swim (the short 10-min. version, lol). Glad you had a good time ziplining at least!
