Visiting Xplor in just one day can be an exciting experience filled with possibilities. To help you make the most of your visit, here are some tips and recommendations to ensure you enjoy your day thoroughly.
There are seven: ziplines, amphibious vehicles, rivers, rafts, hammock splash, underground expedition, and the Toboganxote. Everything centers around the park's heart, where five paths lead to different attractions. In the center, you'll find signs indicating where each route goes.
The traffic light indicates the availability of each attraction. The colors divide into red, yellow, and green.
- Red: The activity is saturated, so it's better to skip it. Focus on the available ones to move quickly through your itinerary.
- Yellow: There is a short line, but don't worry, it won't take long. If the line is short enough, it's worth the wait.
- Green: The activity is available, and you can proceed quickly and easily. Take advantage of these opportunities to move through your itinerary without wasting time.
- Time Management: Manage your time well to enjoy all the attractions in the park. Use the activity traffic light to identify available attractions and plan your route accordingly.
- Clothing: Wear comfortable, water-friendly clothing, water shoes, or closed shoes that you don't mind getting wet. Remember a towel and a change of clothes. You'll be exposed to water and sun for most of the day, so dress appropriately.
- Accessories: Bring a waterproof case for your phone and accessories for a GoPro camera. If you don't have these, the park offers a photo package that will allow you to capture incredible memories of your adventures at Xplor.
- Follow Safety Measures: It's essential to follow all safety measures. Obey the staff's instructions and use the appropriate protective equipment to enjoy the activities safely.
- Stay Hydrated: Stay hydrated throughout the day. Water stations are located at various points; use them to refresh yourself.
- Sun Protection: Don't forget to apply sunscreen before you leave and throughout the day. The sun can be intense, especially during outdoor activities, so take care of your skin.
- Photo Points: Smile at every photo point to look your best in your photo package. Take these opportunities to create unique memories of your Xplor experience.
- Oasis (Juices and Smoothies): You'll find a palapa with fresh fruit drinks. It's an excellent place to start your day and refresh yourself before beginning the activities. Make sure to hydrate well since you'll be doing a lot of exercise throughout the day.
- Hammock Splash: A hammock that slides along a cable attached by a hook, propelled by gravity. It's a fun activity to start with. Remember to follow the staff's instructions to ensure a great experience.
- Ziplines: A cable attached between two points where participants can slide with the help of gravity. It's one of Xplor's star attractions. Prepare for exciting adrenaline as you enjoy panoramic views of the park.
- Amphibious Vehicles: 4x4 vehicles traverse a path with obstacles that intensify as you progress. This is an ideal activity for adventure and adrenaline lovers.
- Toboganxote: (Note: It is not included in the traffic lights because it only opened in March 2024). It's a new water attraction that promises fun and adrenaline. Get ready to slide down one of the most significant water slides.
- Underground Expedition: Explore these beautiful caves, where you can admire the rock formations created underground. It's a fascinating experience.
- Rivers: Peaceful water channels where you can relax. After the more intense activities, it's a good time to rest. Enjoy the scenery and the tranquility of the water.
- Rafts combine the best of both worlds: caverns and rivers. They allow for a relaxing water ride while admiring the caves. This activity requires coordination and teamwork. Enjoy the company of your friends or family while navigating these waters.
Activities usually last an average of 40 minutes (not counting the lines), but some have two paths, one long and one short. For short paths, it's about 15 minutes. The attractions with two paths are:
- Ziplines: You can choose a shorter or a longer path, depending on your level of adventure.
- Rivers: They also offer two route options, one shorter and one longer.
- Amphibious Vehicles: This one has two paths, not because of the duration but because of the scenarios they present. One is through water pools, and the other through caves. Park staff select the path based on availability, but you can repeat and take both routes.
Xplor is not the same as Xplor Fuego. If you pay for Xplor, you can only stay during nightfall and start Xplor Fuego, as all attractions close at 5 P.M., and they verify that everyone leaves. Additionally, the color of all safety equipment is different.
Don't worry if you don't like adrenaline. Xplor offers several options for enjoying a pleasant day without engaging in risky activities. Here are some calm and relaxing options:
- Oasis: This is a center for drinks, smoothies, and fresh fruits. It's a good place to start the day, whether you're clearing your stress or having breakfast.
- Wave Pool: Enjoy the warm, shallow waves of the pool. It's the perfect place to relax in a calm environment.
- Rivers: The rivers offer a relaxing and tranquil environment, with safety measures and friendly staff. You can enjoy the scenery without worrying about adrenaline.
- Hammock Splash: This activity is a small taste of Xplor. It is the perfect option if you want to feel excitement without it being a long-lasting activity.
- Rafts: Travel through the caves while enjoying the panorama of stalactites and stalagmites. Remember not to touch these natural formations.
- Buffet at Troglodita: the buffet is among the best in all Xcaret Parks. You can enjoy a wide variety of unlimited food, and if you have any allergies, the staff will be happy to help you find suitable options.
- Hammocks: This is a quiet and shaded area where you can relax in a comfortable hammock. You can sit, take a quick call, or rest briefly.
Yes, there are several advantages to doing so. You have better control over your time, organization, and decision-making. However, to fully experience the park, it's better to go with a partner, as several activities require a minimum of two people.
- Park Hours: 9:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
- Minimum Age and Weight: Activities for children must be for those aged five and older, and they must meet the height and weight requirements for each attraction.
- Unlimited Access: Once you pay for entry, you can access everything in the park (except the store).
With these tips and recommendations, you can make the most of your visit to Xplor. Remember to manage your time well, wear comfortable clothing, follow safety measures, and stay hydrated.
