Children must be at least 5 years old to enter, with minimum height requirements of 4.6 feet (140 cm) for some activities and minimum age of 8 for ATV driving.

About

Xplor Park is an adrenaline-pumping adventure playground in the heart of the Riviera Maya jungle, offering families a thrilling day of zip-lining above the canopy, driving amphibious ATVs through caves, swimming in underground rivers, and exploring ancient cave systems. This all-inclusive park provides a unique opportunity for families to experience Mexico's natural beauty while getting their hearts racing through safe, supervised activities that create unforgettable memories.

Highlights

  • 14 zip-line circuits including the highest in the Riviera Maya, with some lines reaching over 45 meters high
  • Two 5-kilometer circuits of amphibious ATVs through jungle trails, caves, and across hanging bridges
  • Swimming and rafting through crystal-clear underground rivers and ancient stalactite-filled caves
  • Hammock splash where you can drop from a height into refreshing cenote waters
  • All-inclusive buffet lunch with Mexican and international kid-friendly options

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book online in advance for significant savings (up to 20% off) and to guarantee entry during peak season. Arrive early when the park opens to beat the crowds and complete activities when energy levels are highest.
  2. 2.Bring biodegradable sunscreen and reef-safe bug spray only, as regular products are prohibited to protect the underground ecosystems. The park provides lockers, life jackets, and helmets included in admission.
  3. 3.Wear water shoes or sturdy sandals with back straps, as you'll be getting wet throughout the day. The park provides towels but consider bringing a dry change of clothes for the ride back to your hotel.
  4. 4.Lunch is included in the price with unlimited buffet access, but avoid eating a huge meal right before zip-lining. The park also offers unlimited non-alcoholic beverages throughout your visit.
  5. 5.Photography equipment can't be taken on most activities, but the park offers a photo package. Consider purchasing this to capture your family's adventure without worrying about waterproofing your devices.

Best Time to Visit

Visit on weekdays during the shoulder seasons (April to May or October to November) for smaller crowds and comfortable weather. Arrive right when the park opens at 9:00 AM to experience activities before afternoon heat and tour groups arrive. Avoid visiting during spring break (March) and major Mexican holidays when crowds peak.

What to Know

Admission is expensive but all-inclusive, covering unlimited access to all activities, equipment, lunch buffet, snacks, and beverages (lockers and photo packages cost extra). Transportation from hotels in the Riviera Maya area is available for an additional fee. The park is not wheelchair accessible due to the nature of the terrain and activities.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round, but the rainy season (June through October) means afternoon showers are common, though they rarely last long and activities continue. December through March offers the driest weather but brings the largest crowds. Summer months can be very hot and humid, making morning visits especially important.

Nearby Eats

While Xplor includes meals, nearby Playa del Carmen (10 minutes away) offers family favorites like El Fogon for authentic tacos and La Cueva del Chango for fresh Mexican cuisine in a jungle garden setting perfect for kids.
