Xplor Fuego All Inclusive With Transportation From Cancun & Riviera Maya

Experience the Nighttime Adventure at Xplor Fuego

This tour offers a unique twist on the Riviera Maya’s adventure scene: exploring the jungle after sunset at Xplor Fuego, located in Playa del Carmen. For $181 per person, you’ll get around 6 hours of exhilarating activities that are perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. The experience kicks off with convenient transportation from Cancun or Riviera Maya, making it easy to focus on having fun rather than navigating unfamiliar roads.

What particularly excites us about Xplor Fuego is how it transforms the jungle into a playground illuminated by fire and darkness. You’ll zip through the trees on seven zip lines, including the zone’s highest, and paddle through underground rivers lit only by torches. Plus, the amphibious vehicle ride offers a wild tour through the woods, and the lava river swim presents a chance to cool off in a stunning subterranean setting. These activities mean you’re not just watching; you’re actively participating in the thrill.

One thing to consider is that the tour is quite active, with many stairs involved in the zip lines and caverns. This is worth noting if you have mobility issues or aren’t keen on physically demanding activities. Also, the timing starts at 4:30 pm, so if you’re a late riser or prefer daytime adventures, this twilight experience might not be ideal.

This tour suits travelers who want to combine adrenaline with nature and enjoy a lively atmosphere after sunset. It’s perfect for those who appreciate good food (the buffet is highly praised) and are looking for an all-inclusive experience that blends adventure with comfort.

A Deep Dive into the Xplor Fuego Experience

Once you step into Xplor Park, you’re stepping into a different world—one where nighttime turns into the perfect backdrop for adventure. The highlight, of course, is the contrast of activities lit by fire and darkness—a setting that heightens the thrill and makes even the simplest of activities feel magical.

The Itinerary: What to Expect

Your adventure begins around 4:30 pm, when you’re picked up from your hotel—whether in Cancun or Riviera Maya. The ride itself sets the tone for an exciting evening, as you leave the busy beaches behind and head into the lush, green heart of the jungle. Once at the park, the adventure begins with a walk through spectacular underground caverns. These are not just caves to walk through but are part of the underground rivers you’ll later paddle in.

The seven zip lines are a major draw. They range in height and length, with the highest zip line offering a real adrenaline rush. We loved the sensation of flying through the treetops, especially against the dark sky. The zip hammocks provide a gentler, cooling dip after zip-lining—especially popular with those seeking a break from the high-speed rides.

The lava river swim is a highlight — a 350-meter subterranean river filled with stalactites, lit only by flickering torches. Many reviewers, like Brandi_P, mention how much fun this part is: “so much enjoyable views,” she said, and others have called it “truly something for all.” This part feels like a secret world, a place where light and darkness play tricks on your senses.

Adding to the fun, the amphibious vehicles take you on a 5 km jungle route, offering an up-close look at the flora and fauna in a way that’s both playful and educational. It’s a perfect way to see the jungle without the physical exertion of a hike, and many find it “definitely exciting.”

Food and Refreshments

The all-inclusive aspect is a significant plus. The BBQ ribs buffet gets high praise for its variety and quality—something that truly satisfies after a long, active day. Unlimited non-alcoholic drinks—coffee, atole, champurrado, and fresh water—keep you refreshed and energized. While photos and souvenirs are not included, you might find plenty of opportunities to snap photos yourself during the activities.

The Experience: Pros and Cons

Based on reviews, the guides and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. One reviewer called out the “wonderful experience,” citing the views, fun activities, and delicious food as highlights. The well-organized nature of the tour, including transportation and safety briefings, adds to its value.

However, the physical demands of the zip lines and cavern walks might not suit everyone. If you’re traveling with small children or seniors, it’s wise to note the minimum age of 5 and the physical requirements. Also, since the tour is only 6 hours, it’s a quick but packed trip—so don’t expect a slow-paced day.

Is It Worth the Price?

At $181 per person, the price includes a full evening of adventure, transportation, meals, and drinks. Given the variety of activities and the quality of included food, many find this to be good value—especially considering the ease of having all logistics handled for you. If adventure and nature are your priorities, this tour packs a punch.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This is a perfect choice for adventure enthusiasts who want to experience the jungle in a different light—literally. Families with kids aged 5 and above will find plenty to enjoy. It’s also well-suited for those who appreciate well-organized logistics and all-inclusive comfort. If you’re after a thrilling, memorable night in the Riviera Maya, this tour checks many boxes.

Those seeking a more relaxed or daytime experience might prefer other options, but for pure adrenaline and fun, Xplor Fuego shines.
