Xplor packs a lineup of high-adrenaline attractions into a single park day: repeated flights on long zip-line circuits above the jungle, 5-km amphibious-vehicle runs through the forest, hands‑on rafting through underground rivers and cavern swims that thread stalactite‑lined passages; the visit is anchored by an all‑inclusive buffet, unlimited nonalcoholic drinks and snacks for the duration.

THE LANDSCAPE

High zip lines over Riviera Maya canopy

Xplor features multiple zip-line circuits that let you fly above jungle canopy—one of the park’s signature ways to experience speed, height and the surrounding tropical landscape repeatedly throughout the day.

THE MACHINERY

Amphibious vehicles on two 5‑km circuits

You’ll pilot amphibious vehicles through the jungle on two separate circuits, each roughly 5 km, a rare on‑land/near‑water driving experience that pairs off‑road handling with scenic forest running.

THE UNDERGROUND

Subterranean rivers, a 400‑m cave swim and hamacuatizaje

Explore Xplor’s cavern world by rowing in raft circuits and swimming a 400‑meter stretch of the Río de Estalactitas; the park also offers its distinctive hamacuatizaje in a cenote as part of the underground program.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The itinerary strings together discrete, repeatable adventures: launch into zip-line circuits to punch through the canopy, swap speed for steering in an amphibious vehicle across two forest loops, then slow to the deliberate motion of paddling or swimming through limestone caverns—interleaved with buffet meals, snacks and rest areas so you can recharge between high‑intensity activities.
