Xplor Fuego Night Adventure — Zip Lines, ATVs & Underground Rivers in Riviera Maya

After dark, Xplor Fuego converts the Yucatán jungle into a hands-on playground: zip lines, amphibious ATVs and underground river swims capped by a buffet. This evening adventure pairs geological spectacle with adrenaline — and practical logistics like included transport and gear.

The Experience

Before You Go

Wear quick-dry shoes

Closed-toe water shoes or trail shoes that drain fast are ideal for wet caves and vehicle circuits.

Bring a change of clothes

Lockers are provided; pack dry clothes for the return ride to your hotel to avoid discomfort.

Use chemical-free sunscreen and repellent

The park requests reef- and cesspool-safe products to protect cenotes and local waterways.

Confirm pickup time

Shuttle schedules are fixed — be at your hotel pickup point early to avoid missing the group transfer.
