Xplor Park All-Inclusive with Transportation from Playa del Carmen and Cancun

HEATHER_S, Nov 2025

Would book again!!

Xplor was a great time! First round on the vehicles (John Deere sxs) we didn’t get wet at all so we asked for the wet/fun track; 2nd one was way better! Zip lines and waterslide were great! Underwater exploration took at least an hour from start to finish; we’d skip that next time. Hammock splash was fun but expect to feel like you’re getting a colon flush 😂 Buffet has a ton of options. Overall if was a great day and transportation was very easy!

Mexico sensacional show xcaret

If you visit the Hoteles Xcaret, be sure to visit the park, especially the Park show at 7 p.m. It's a spectacle designed to delight us and teach us even more about Mexico. I was impressed; I recommend it. You won't regret it.

Tulum Deluxe Experience! Coba, Cenote Kuxtal and Playa del Carmen

marisS7493YC, Aug 2025

It was wonderful tour!!

The tour was very packed with content. Our guide Florence was very kind. Even though I was participating alone, she paid attention to each and every one of us. Tulum is hot, and you can't bring in bottled drinks, so you need a reusable bottle. I was able to have a valuable experience that would have been impossible to do alone in a single day.

Discover and Descend on the Hidden Xenotes Tour From Cancun

Connector47481623949, Jan 2025

Great tour

We purchased a tour, "Xenotes enimatic water tour" on Jan 18/25. Liz and Tony were great. We had 10 people in our tour. The tour was very well organized. You do one activity at a time. You walk/drive to the next activity. They planned it, so we did not run into other tours. Tony took amazing pictures and we ended up purchasing the all of them (110 pictures). Well worth the money. We had a great time. ... just bring a long-sleeved water top and good water shoes. Change of clothing at the end

So much fun packed into a few hours

This was an amazing trip. Our guide Alex, participated w/us which made it more fun. Zip lining was exciting & rappelling into the cenote was magical. The monkeys were AWESOME! This day was my favorite part of my Yucatan trip.

Fantastic Private Cenote Dive

Riaz took me to the Cenotes on a less than ideal day and gave me an awesome, private tour of the cenotes and the surrounding areas. He taught us about the formations of the cenote and the impact it has on the area.He made sure I felt safe and comfortable and was extremely informative the whole time.He is a fantastic tour guide who seemingly enjoys what he does. I would recommend to all friends and family.

Barracuda Fishing Day Cancun

Molly_T, Aug 2024

Fun Fishing Experience & Best Ceviche Ever!

We had an extremely fun experience catching Beracudas with Carlos and our Captain (forgot to get name). They definitely knew the fishing spots. Captain hooked all the lines for us to fish. After a few hours of fishing, our Captain made fresh ceviche with our catch and guacamole salsa along with crackers. It was the best ceviche we all have ever had! Carlos and Captain were both very kind and Carlos was such an entertaining guide. Definitely worth it for a Beracuda fishing experience!

Amazing Day!

The whole day was amazing! The experience was organized and well-planned. Noah was our guide and he was exceptional. We've been on a lot of these types of tours and he is one of the best. He used his skills with English and Spanish translations fluidly. He is knowledgeable and professional. The day would not have been the same without him. I highly recommend this tour and request Noah as your guide.
