Don't miss out on this wonderful experience! This was one of our favorite vacation days. We were able to experience close up views of monkeys. birds. butterflies, sea life and more as we walked through a beautiful shaded jungle. We were enveloped in Mexican culture and watched women create hammocks, clothes, leather goods and other items. The musical rituals and musical performances were amazing culminating in an incredible night time show. Our favorite activity was swimming through the underground cenote. Oh and don't miss out on making chocolate from cocoa bean!

Mayan history
Blanca_R, Apr 2024
We loved the night show and the ending with the macaws n parrots flying over. A lot of more things. Also the underground river
History
Ruben_A, Apr 2024
A beautiful show you can’t miss it if you are in Cancun. I have seen it twice and makes me excited and emotional watch it every.
Don’t go!
Jenifer_A, Apr 2024
Super expensive and everything in the park is an upgrade and additional cost. The dinner with the show was horrible and very expensive and they cross contaminated our food and caused significant allergic reactions
Super expensive and not worth it
Jenifer_A, Apr 2024
This was horrible. It’s was like Disney land where all the rides are extra. It’s super expensive and high pressure to buy more. We opted for the dinner and it was horrible. My daughter and I both have allergies to sea food which they said they could accommodate but both me and my daughter ended up sick for cross contamination! Save your money
To expensive
Gustavo_O, Apr 2024
Good experience but will not go back to expensive paid 1200 dollars to get in with my family of 7 and then having to pay extra money too do more thing not worth it!!
Xcaret
Scott_J, Apr 2024
This was our second trip to this park and we had a good time again. We took some friends to the Cancun side which they had not done before, and they really enjoyed themselves as well. We did not stay for the night show, but we did do all of the river activities and went through many of the animal exhibits.
Great but the advertising needs to be better
DeAnna_B, Apr 2024
It was amazing however, what you pay for on here is just to get into the park and the lunch. That’s one thing that his does not make clear anything else you want to do costs you extra money. Don’t get me wrong I loved it but i ended up spending almost a grand with what I bought before and after getting there. Which I had no idea before or I might have booked something else. The views and everything is amazing but if someone doesnt have the extra money to do anything else youll be stuck walking around and not being able to do a whole lot.
Highly overrated
Omprakaash_T, Apr 2024
Rip off, rip off, rip off. Everything is extremely expensive and isn’t really worth the experience. The only thing I enjoyed was the buffet lunch.
Fantastic Show and the embracing the Mexican Culture!
Jeff_B, Apr 2024
Everything was so easy we just showed up and they did the rest. I am an American and I loved the national pride that the show and event demostrated. I wish American had half of that pride. We have no pride in comparison to my Latino friends down south. They embrace the past and how it has made them into who they are today. So refreshing. Food was fantastic! Show was fantastic.....everything was super well done. Nice work!
Excellent day!!
Jaclyn_R, Mar 2024
Excellent experience!! Will explore the other parks next time! Can’t wait to explore more!! Love Viator!!
Xcaret is always amazing!
WendiStarr_B, Mar 2024
This is my 3rd visit and I’ll be back again- my friend’s son loved the underground river so much they did it twice!
Our day at Xcaret
Aileen_P, Mar 2024
This tour is a must. They arrived at our lobby on time; very friendly and courteous. Our bus guide was very informative. Ensure you lack extra clothes, water shoes, sun screen and eat before you go-if you are at an all inclusive order room service 1hr before pickup. When you arrive-you have opportunity to by add’l activities. We did VIP w-7 course dinner (appetite size) enough for us for the night show; parasail & the photo package (highly recommend $60). If you love massage THIS IS A MUST $90 but you will go into a semi cave with a waterfall-if you do - hopefully you can ask to be either under the waterfall or to your right. We were next to those swimming in the river below us - supposed to be a quiet zone but some people is not observant to read the sign above. We loved our 50min session - they have a 25min option as well. So for parasail - you will go out on a jet ski and “lift” yourself onto the boat (that’s was new). The last part was the River- so amazing - do activities first then the River - so quiet - peaceful and hardly anyone in the river. There are deep parts but they have ropes to guide you. As a plus you will have access to lockers - highly recommend you pick up a map at the airport ( Xcaret park is in their-helped us navigate the different lines). All in all - this park blew us away. If we come back - we will definitely do another Xcaret park.
Excaret Fun

Just go
Gabriel_W, Mar 2024
Great place to spend your day. Our bus driver mentioned that there were going to be about 6000 people in the park, and got nervous, but it didn’t feel like it at all. Great activities, great food at Jalisco buffet, great night show, great passion from every worker… Just book a day at Xcaret, you won’t regret it.
xcaret experienced
Lilibeth_J, Mar 2024
swimming in the river and the sea trek experienced was amazing. i would highly recommend when coming to cancun
Fun place! Want to stay next time ☺︎
Yuya_S, Feb 2024
Xcaret was great! We had so much fun! Just for your info, tour guide from this company, some of them are like strict trainer, if you ask same question again or you ask something they aren’t talking about they get upset. Not so patient. Careful ☺︎
Life changing and affirming
Christopher_L, Feb 2024
Loved loved loved our day at xcaret. We did snuba and the stingray encounter. Snuba was the coolest thing we have ever done— we have to go get our scuba certification now. What an amazing day with wildlife above and below the water.
Best experience
eleanorpickering, Feb 2024
Amazing experience would really recommend. We paid for priority tickets and would recommend as you get a lunch buffet included. Only downside was transport on the way home for times. There’s a bus at 4pm or not until 9.30pm
I loved it.
Nancy_S, Feb 2024
I liked how it was reserved officially with xcaret, but the difference I was able to reserve it with viator months ago and I could cancel if I needed to the week of the tour. Xcaret bus picked us up and took is back.
Nice experience
Cheryl_C, Feb 2024
Our bus arrived when promised, very courteous. We were disappointed that it was difficult to find show times and very difficult to navigate the park. We had only a map on the app, paper maps were not available. We did float down the underground river, was very nice. The show in the evening was indeed spectacular! Getting back to our bus after was seamless and easy, again staff was very courteous.
