XCARET PARK TOURS FROM RIVIERA MAYA

Xcaret is an eco-archaeological wonderland, located about 10 minutes south of Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya.  It is a special place, like nowhere else on earth.  It's a place where ancient Mayan traditions meet stunning underground rivers, where nature's most magnificent creatures meet with white sand beaches filled with hammocks and palapas. It's truly a marvel, and it could only be Xcaret.

Xcaret should be near the top of the list of any visitor to the Riviera Maya.  It has an amazing array of attractions, fun for the whole family, and we offer the best prices and best selection of Xcaret tours in the Riviera Maya.

Our Recommendations: 

If you are staying North of Xcaret:

We recommend a private tour unless you're only a couple of people.  The price is nearly the same as the public tour, and you get private non-stop transportation on your schedule.  No picking other people up or dropping other people off at their hotels, going for check-in, or strict schedules to adhere to - you're on your own for the day, at your leisure.  This is the best way to visit Xcaret.  However, if you're only a couple of people, a private tour will be expensive for you, so a public tour might be a more desirable option.

If you are staying in Puerto Aventuras, Akumal or have your own rental car:

You'll probably want to choose the "Entrance Only" option above.  This will give you only your tickets, which will save you having to stand in long lines at the entrance to purchase them (a valuable time saver), but will not provide transportation.  From Puerto Aventuras or Akumal, it will likely be somewhat cheaper for you to just take a taxi than to do a tour since they are near Xcaret.  Of course, with a tour, it's all taken care of - nothing for you to worry about.  From other areas, a tour is the way to go.

Dolphin Swims:

If you want to do a dolphin swim at Xcaret, you will need to book in advance.  If you wait until you arrive at Xcaret, it will almost certainly be sold out.

Xcaret Plus:

If you will want a buffet lunch, then you will want to do Xcaret Plus.  It is a better deal because the buffet restaurants inside the park are very expensive, about $29.00 per person.  There are a few snack bars that serve hamburgers and other small things that you can order ala carte for considerably less, so if you are on a budget or don't want a buffet lunch, then the regular tour should be a bit cheaper.  Xcaret Plus is also convenient because it includes everything so you don't have to worry about it once you're inside the park.

IMPORTANT: Xcaret will not allow you to bring your regular sunblock into the park, as part of the ongoing effort to protect the environment.  It will be confiscated at the gate unless it is biodegradable. See Biodegradable Sunscreen
