Experience the thrill of Xplor Park’s adventure-filled activities—zip-lining, off-road rides, and underground rivers—combined with convenient transportation from Cancun.
This tour takes you into the heart of the Riviera Maya’s jungle, where the focus is on adrenaline and authentic fun. For $251.32 per person, you’ll spend about 8 hours exploring one of the region’s most popular adventure parks, with round-trip transport from Cancun included. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking to try something lively and memorable, this day promises a mixture of high-flying fun and jungle exploration.
What we love about this experience is the chance to fly over the treetops on 14 different zip-lines—including the highest in the area—plus the unique possibility of driving amphibious vehicles through caves and across rugged jungle terrain. These features combine physical activity with the thrill of discovery, making for a well-rounded adventure that’s suitable for most travelers.
One potential consideration is the pace of the day; with so many activities packed into roughly eight hours, it can be a bit intense—so you’ll want to be prepared for a full day of activity. Also, since the tour is booked an average of 26 days in advance, it’s worth planning ahead to secure a spot during peak times.
This tour is well-suited for those who enjoy outdoor adventures, want a full-day experience, and appreciate the convenience of door-to-door transportation. It’s a great pick for families, groups of friends, or solo travelers eager for a physically engaging day that mixes nature and adrenaline.

Situated in the lush Mayan jungle, this spot is a playground for thrill-seekers. The park’s location in such a vibrant natural environment offers an immersive backdrop for your day of excitement.

The Zipline Circuit
One of the standout features here is the 14 zip-lines, which span across the canopy. We loved the way these lines allow you to glide over the jungle, feeling the wind and catching glimpses of the treetops. Notably, the highest zip-line in the region delivers a true adrenaline rush—standing on the platform and looking down before launching is a moment of anticipation.
Reviewers often mention that “the zip-lines are the main draw, and the views are incredible.” The safety measures and the professional staff ensure confidence during these flights, even for those new to zip-lining. For many, it’s a highlight worth the price alone, especially considering the variety and height of the lines.
Jungle Vehicles and Cave Exploration
Beyond flying through the air, you’ll hop into amphibious vehicles—designed to handle both land and water—and navigate a course through caves, narrow passages, and bridges. This off-road ride offers a sense of adventure that’s both fun and a bit challenging.
Travelers find this part particularly engaging, describing it as “a safari-like experience that makes you feel like a true explorer.” It’s one of the exclusive features that sets this park apart from just another zip-lining course, turning it into a full jungle expedition.
Underground Rivers and Rafting
Once out of the canopy, you’ll go underground—literally—by swimming through rivers of stalactites on rafts. This subterranean adventure is one of the most unique aspects of Xplor, offering a cool respite from the heat and an entirely different perspective on the underground world.
Some reviews mention that the underground river experience is “surprisingly peaceful and beautiful,” giving a welcome break from the adrenaline rush of the zip-lines and vehicle rides. It’s a chance to slow down and appreciate the natural formations beneath the earth.

- Preparation: Wear comfortable clothes suited for outdoor activity, and bring sun protection and waterproof gear if you plan to swim.
