From Riviera Maya: Xplor Park Admission, Full Day

Imagine spending a day filled with adrenaline-pumping activities in the heart of the Riviera Maya. For $187 per person, you get a full day of exploring Xplor Park, just 80 km from Cancun. This includes zip lining through the jungle canopy, rafting in underground rivers, driving amphibious vehicles, and more — all bundled into one convenient package that covers admission, lunch, drinks, and even transportation if you choose the option.
We love that this tour offers variety and action in one place — it’s perfect for those who want an active, outdoor experience away from the beaches. The all-inclusive nature removes the hassle of planning meals or extra costs, while the small group size (limited to 10 participants) adds a personal touch. The optional transportation is a real bonus for travelers staying in Cancun, easing transit logistics.
That said, one thing to consider is that missed bus pickups are not refundable, so punctuality is crucial if you opt for the transportation. This tour suits travelers looking for high-energy adventure, especially those who enjoy physical activity and nature. It’s not ideal for pregnant women, people with mobility issues, or anyone with heart or back problems.
In summary, this experience is a fantastic choice for adventure seekers and families who want a full day of fun, variety, and hassle-free planning. It balances thrill with comfort, making it an accessible way to explore the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya in a truly active way.

An In-Depth Review of Your Day at Xplor Park

Location and Accessibility
Situated about 80 km from Cancun, Xplor Park is a prime spot for a full-day adventure outside the hustle of city life. Whether you’re staying in Cancun or the Riviera Maya, the convenience of direct transportation (if booked) means you can relax and enjoy the ride. Without it, you’ll need to arrange your own transport, but the park’s central location makes it fairly accessible by car or taxi.
The Itinerary and Activities
Your day begins with a sense of anticipation. Once you arrive, the focus shifts to thrilling activities and exploring nature. The included underground rivers are a highlight, offering a cool, scenic swim or raft in crystal-clear waters, surrounded by thousand-year-old rock formations. Reviewers mention that swimming in these underground caves is both beautiful and refreshing, especially on a hot day.
Next, you’ll glide through the canopy on zip lines that link caves and trees. With safety gear provided, you can enjoy the exhilaration of flying high above the jungle, experiencing views of lush greenery and the park’s natural terrain. The minimum height requirement of 1.37 meters and weight restrictions (40–136 kg) ensure safety, but do note that if you’re under 12 or taller than 1.40 meters, you’ll need to carry ID for verification.
The amphibious vehicle ride offers a different type of adventure, taking you over jungle trails, across bridges, and through rugged terrain. It’s a surprisingly fun way to experience the landscape from a different perspective. Reviews mention that driving these four-person vehicles is a highlight — “it’s like being a kid again, but with a license,” one guest joked.

The all-inclusive package makes your visit straightforward. You receive a buffet lunch with local and international dishes, along with unlimited snacks and smoothies to keep your energy up. The open bar is a welcome addition, especially after adrenaline-fueled activities.
All equipment is provided, including helmets, harnesses, life jackets, and gloves for rafting, along with lockers and changing rooms. You won’t need to worry about bringing your gear or be concerned about safety — it’s all thoughtfully organized.
However, photos and souvenirs are extra, and many visitors find that purchasing a digital photo package is tempting after capturing those special moments. Keep in mind that no refunds apply if you miss your scheduled pickup—timing is everything.
The Experience and Atmosphere
We appreciate the family-friendly vibe mixed with genuine adventure. Kids over 1 meter tall can participate in many activities, but younger children have limitations, and their safety is prioritized. The park is well-maintained, with clear instructions and staff ready to assist, which reassures less experienced thrill-seekers.
Several reviews highlight the professional safety measures — helmets are mandatory, and knowing how to swim is required for certain activities. Some travelers mention that the clothing gets wet and dirty, so packing clothes you don’t mind getting muddy or soaked is wise.
Value and Cost Effectiveness
At $187 per person, this tour offers good value, especially considering the all-inclusive nature and the variety of activities. For thrill-seekers, it’s a better deal than paying separately for zip lining, rafting, and meals. Plus, the small group size ensures personalized attention and a less crowded experience, often translating into more enjoyment and safety.
Who Would Love This?
This tour is perfect for adventure-loving travelers, families with active kids, and groups of friends looking for a full day of outdoor fun. It’s also suitable for those who prefer having everything organized in one package, freeing them from planning logistics or worrying about extra costs.
Who Might Not Enjoy This?
If you’re pregnant, have mobility issues, or health concerns, this might not be the right fit. The physical nature of the activities requires a certain level of fitness and comfort with heights and water. Also, if you’re not comfortable with group transportation or punctuality, you should plan accordingly.
Final Thoughts

This full-day trip to Xplor Park offers a well-rounded adventure in a stunning natural setting. The mix of activities means you can try everything from floating in underground rivers to flying through the treetops, while the all-inclusive setup minimizes stress. It’s a great option if you want a day of active exploration that’s easy to organize, especially if transportation is included.
Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking to add some excitement to your trip, Xplor Park delivers a fun, engaging, and memorable experience. Just be sure to arrive on time, wear suitable clothes, and get ready for a day of authentic outdoor fun in Mexico’s lush jungle.
