The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning pickup

Early transfers help you finish the busiest attractions before the hottest part of the day and reduce queue time.

Secure footwear

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes that stay on during zip-lines and amphibious vehicle runs; flip-flops are not allowed.

Hydrate and snack

Use the smoothie stations between circuits and carry a refillable bottle to manage humidity and exertion.

Check medical restrictions

Avoid high-impact attractions if pregnant or with spinal/heart conditions; bring ID for minors.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Try a quieter raft circuit early—light through the caverns creates reflective pools for photography.
  • Talk with guides about local cenote formation; they often point out small fossilized shells in the limestone walls.

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas sunning on limestone outcrops
  • Small bats roosting in cave ceilings

Conservation Note

The park manages freshwater access and limits direct impact on delicate cave formations—use biodegradable products and follow staff guidance to protect aquifer health.

Cenotes and underground rivers were vital to Maya settlements as freshwater sources and held cultural significance; the park sits on karst terrain sculpted over millions of years.
