It’s a full evening of excitement, featuring zip lines into the night, swimming through caves, and exploring underground rivers—all wrapped up with a tasty buffet and included transportation from your hotel. We’ll walk you through what this tour offers, what makes it special, and the things you should keep in mind before booking.
We appreciate that this experience offers convenient round-trip transport, so you won’t have to worry about navigating or hiring a separate shuttle.

The Itinerary in Detail
Start with Comfort: Pickup and Arrival at Xplor Park
The tour kicks off with pickup at 4:30 pm from your Playa del Carmen accommodation. This is a major plus for many travelers, as it saves the hassle of finding your way to the park on your own. Expect a comfortable shuttle, with most group sizes capped at 40 travelers, which helps keep the experience intimate and manageable.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed into the park, which transforms from daytime serenity into a lively, illuminated playground for thrill-seekers. The park is all-inclusive, so the focus is on enjoying the activities without worrying about extra costs.
High-Intensity Activities
- Zip Lines: You’ll experience a circuit of seven zip lines, including the highest zip line in the Riviera Maya. The thrill of zipping through the treetops at night, illuminated by subtle lighting, offers a different perspective than daytime rides.
- Amphibious Vehicles: Cover a 5 km route through the jungle in amphibious vehicles. These are fun, open-air, go-kart-like transports that give you a taste of off-road adventure with a jungle backdrop.
- Underground Rafting: Paddling through 570 meters of underground caverns in a raft is a highlight. The caves are lit just enough to guide your way, revealing stalactites and stalagmites, making each paddle stroke feel like an underground expedition.
- Hamacuatizaje and Cavern Walks: Glide on a hammock into a cenote or walk through caverns lit with fiery effects. These quieter moments offer a chance to appreciate the natural beauty and the park’s clever lighting.
- Toboganxote: The 5-in-1 slide adds a playful, high-speed descent to the mix, blending fun with adrenaline.
Dining and Refreshments
After hours of activity, you’ll enjoy a buffet dinner featuring ribs (with vegetarian options available). The food is hearty and well-prepared, providing necessary fuel for your adventure. Unlimited non-alcoholic drinks—such as coffee, atole, champurrado, and fresh water—are included to keep you hydrated. Many reviewers mention how satisfying the meal is after the adrenaline rush, and the relaxed atmosphere helps you wind down.
Wrap-Up and Return
The tour concludes around 10 pm, leaving you with the rest of your evening free to explore Playa del Carmen or relax. The round-trip transportation ensures you can focus on enjoying the adventure, not on how to get home.
What Travelers Say and What to Expect

Though the review count is currently zero, the detailed tour features and consistent descriptions point to a well-organized, fun-packed evening. Travelers can expect a safe, lively environment with a variety of activities suited for most physically able participants.
The inclusion of vegetarian meal options shows sensitivity to dietary preferences, while the minimum age of 5 means families with children over that age can participate comfortably.

Some reviews highlight the organized flow and ease of experience, noting the friendly staff and well-maintained facilities. The only possible drawback? Being part of a group might limit some spontaneity or quiet moments, but for most, it keeps the experience lively and social.
