Excursion details
Xel-Há is an adventure park in the heart of the Riviera Maya, offering water-based activities such as swimming, snorkelling, water slides and river tubing, plus other outdoor pursuits, such as zip-lining. Get your fill of excitement during this approximately eight-hour excursion, which includes lunch.
Begin with a ferry ride from the port to Playa del Carmen, lasting around 40 minutes, where you ‘ll disembark the boat and board a bus over about 20 minutes. After an approximately one-hour bus ride, arrive at the park. Your guide will give a brief orientation to help you get the most out of your visit, then it ‘s time for you to head off and explore at your leisure.
You ‘ll have approximately four hours at the park to take advantage of the many outdoor activities available at Xel-Há. Water-lovers can grab a mask, fins and life jacket and go snorkelling to see all kinds of marine life, although please note that sightings cannot be guaranteed. Or climb the towering Mirador Lighthouse and descend into a natural pool via its winding waterslide.
Thrill-seekers can go zip-lining or rope swinging into a river, or you can even jump from the five-metre-high ‘Cliff of Courage ‘. For something calmer, grab a bike and ride through jungle trails. Fuel up for the day with lunch at one of the park ‘s restaurants (lunch is covered by the excursion cost), which includes unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It ‘s then time to head back to the port. Board your bus for the approximately one-hour journey back to the ferry pier, then board the ferry over about 20 minutes for an approximately 40-minute transfer to the port.
