Xplor Park Tickets — All-Inclusive Adventure in the Riviera Maya

The featured all-inclusive Xplor Park ticket starts from $186 per person and includes park admission, all activities, gear, and an unlimited buffet with snacks and smoothies. Round-trip transport from Cancún, Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya is included when you choose the option that has it. Children pay a height-based rate rather than a flat child price. Prices move with the season, so the live booking widget always shows the current rate for your date.

Only if you choose the option that includes it. Tickets come in two forms: admission-only (you arrange your own ride to the park) and admission with round-trip hotel transport from Cancún, Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya. If you don't have a car, select the transport option when booking — an air-conditioned shuttle collects you from your hotel and brings you back. See our guide to getting to Xplor Park for drive times and which pickup to book.

Your ticket covers park entry and all the signature activities — the underground stalactite rivers, the jungle zip-line circuits, the amphibious vehicles and the hammock splash. It also includes an unlimited energy buffet, snacks and smoothies, plus all gear: helmet, harness, life jacket, raft, paddling gloves, the amphibious vehicle, and free lockers and changing rooms. Tips, professional photos and souvenirs are not included.

For an active day, yes — the featured ticket is rated 4.8 out of 5 by more than 90 verified guests, who consistently praise how organized the park is and how much is packed into one all-inclusive price. Because gear, food and drinks are all covered, there are no surprise costs once you're inside. If you want adrenaline (zip-lines, cave rivers, amphibious vehicles) rather than beaches or ruins, Xplor is the standout adventure park in the Riviera Maya. Still deciding between parks?

Xplor Fuego is the evening version of the park ('fuego' means fire). You get the same jungle, zip-lines, underground rivers and amphibious vehicles, but torch-lit after dark, usually with thinner crowds and dinner instead of the daytime buffet. Choose Xplor day for the classic experience under the sun, or Xplor Fuego for a quieter, more atmospheric night. Hours vary by season, so confirm the current Fuego schedule when you book. Our full Xplor vs Xplor Fuego guide breaks down the differences in hours, activities and food.

Xplor runs as a full-day park (typically opening mid-morning and closing in the late afternoon), while Xplor Fuego runs in the evening. Exact hours and which activities are open shift with the season, so check the live booking page for the current schedule on your chosen date rather than relying on a fixed time. For how day and night hours compare, see our day vs night guide.

Xplor sits in the Riviera Maya just south of Playa del Carmen — roughly 80 km (about an hour) from Cancún, ten to fifteen minutes from central Playa del Carmen, and around an hour from Tulum. Tickets are sold from each of these starting points, so you can book the pickup that matches where you're staying. Our how to get to Xplor Park guide has the full distance and drive-time table.

Bring comfortable shoes, swimwear, a change of clothes and a towel. The most important rule: only biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent are allowed, because the underground rivers are a living cave system and regular chemical sunscreen is banned to protect it. You can buy biodegradable products at the park if you forget, but bringing your own is cheaper. See our full what to bring to Xplor Park guide for the complete packing list and sunscreen rules.

Yes — the underground rivers are real water-filled limestone cave passages hung with stalactites and stalagmites, part of the Riviera Maya's natural cave system. There are two courses: one you swim and one you paddle by raft. This is exactly why only biodegradable products are permitted in the water. Our packing and sunscreen guide explains which products are allowed and what gets confiscated at the gate.

They suit different travelers. Xplor is the pure-adventure park — zip-lines, cave rivers and amphibious vehicles, all-inclusive with food and gear. Xcaret (its sister park, also by Grupo Xcaret) leans cultural and marine, with shows, wildlife and gentler river floats. If you want adrenaline and to come home tired, book Xplor; if you want a slower, family-and-culture day, Xcaret is the better fit. Some visitors do both on separate days. Our detailed Xplor vs Xcaret guide compares what's included, food and who each park suits.

Xplor is a physically demanding day. The park advises that it is not suitable for pregnant women or guests with back or heart problems, and wheelchair access is limited. Children are welcome on a height-based rate, though the youngest visitors have limited access to some activities. If everyone in your group is reasonably mobile and comfortable in water, it's an excellent family or group day out.

Booking ahead online is the safer choice. It locks in your date and the transport option, gives you instant confirmation and a mobile voucher, and lets you cancel free up to 24 hours before. You'll receive an official voucher (sent by WhatsApp the day before) that you must present at the gate — without it, entry isn't permitted, so reserve before you travel.

Pricing is set by the park and the booking platform, and seasonal rates vary, so the live widget always reflects the best current price for your date. Children are charged a reduced height-based rate, and the all-inclusive structure (food, drinks and gear bundled in) means the headline price is the price — there are no hidden add-ons once you're inside. Booking the right pickup option for your hotel is the easiest way to avoid paying extra for separate transport.
