Activities

Ziplines-There are two different routes
The full red tower tour took about 45min. After each zipline you have to walk to the next line and climb a good number of stairs. The red route is very physically demanding.  
You are allowed to double ride on the zip lines if your total weight is less than 300lb. I saw a lot of parents double riding with their kids. 
The other zip line route is the green towers this one only has 3 towers and is more suitable for kids (Still must meet height requirement). 


Amphibious Vehicles-Drive a 4-seater UTV on jungle trails through caves and over bridges. 


Rafts-Adventure paddling with your own hand paddles through two different routes in the underground river. 

River Swim-Swim through the underground river through caves and surrounded by stalacites. 

Hammock Splash-Walk through the caves and finish with a hammock ride into a waterfall.  


Cave Walks-Explore all the trails going through caves and jungle trails.

Favorite Activity

Surprisingly, I would say the UTVs were our favorite! While you have to follow the trail, you have a lot of flexibility to do your own thing. You can drive as crazy and fast as you want!

Schedule

9am arrived (took some time to check in and put your stuff away in lockers) 
​
9:30-10:15am did red tower zip lines first (10 routes, finishing in water fall) 

10:30-11 did the hand paddle rafts through underwater caves.  

11:15-11:45 ate lunch at the buffet. The buffet was SUPER big. The food was pretty much your average all-inclusive buffet, maybe a little step up.  

12-1 Drove the UTV vehicles. We loved this and did it twice. We did the first route (20ish min) and then did the second route (30ish min). You have to follow the trail but they allow you to do your thing.  

1:30 pick up and headed back to our resort! 

We felt like the timing was perfect. We were ready to go back at 1:30, however you could easily make a full day of this park!

Travel Pro Tip

Water Shoes are needed. I bought ours on Amazon before the trip for $10. They were selling ones there for $35. 
​Sunscreen: Make sure to put sunscreen on before arriving, they will confiscate your sunscreen if it’s not environmentally friendly.

Rating: 5 Stars

My husband and I went to Xplor Park during our trip to Mexico. The park is full of trails/caves to explore on your own, but it also has 6 different extreme activities to participate in as well. The grounds are very well maintained, the staff is kind and friendly, and the buffet lunch is quite yummy! 
​
We went for a half day, but you could easily spend an entire day there. Our favorite activities were the ziplines and the UTV trails. I would highly recommend visiting this park if you are an active and adventurous couple!
