Xplor Park: Zip-lines, Caverns & Cenote Adventures near Playa del Carmen
Fly above jungle canopy, drive amphibious vehicles through flooded caverns and swim a stalactite river at Xplor, a hands-on park on the Riviera Maya. This five to six hour adventure combines the highest local ziplines with underground cenote routes and practical facilities for a full-day outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early to beat crowds
Mornings are cooler and shorter lines let you finish the most popular zip-line circuits before midday heat.
Bring water shoes
Trails and cave floors can be slick; closed-toe water shoes improve traction for raft and cenote sections.
Respect height & weight rules
Equipment limits (minimum ~1.10 m/3.6 ft; some activities require 88–300 lbs capacity) are enforced for safety—measure kids before travel.
Use biodegradable sunscreen & insect repellent
Protect skin without contaminating cenote water—rinse off before entering underground rivers if possible.
