Our recommendation: If you’re spending the full day, the Plus ticket is worth it: the buffet lunch alone justifies the upgrade, and you get snorkel gear and a locker included. If you only have an evening, the At Night ticket gets you the show and a few hours of the park at a lower price.
Things to Do
Water
Underground Rivers
The signature Xcaret experience. Float through three underground limestone cave systems wearing a life jacket: crystal-clear freshwater, stalactites overhead, dappled jungle light filtering through openings. Choose from different routes. Secure bags for your belongings are provided.
Paradise River
A calmer alternative to the underground rivers. Sail through the same landscapes on a raft, good for those who want to see the caves without getting fully in the water.
Xcaret’s Aquatic Paradise
Caribbean beach, a protected inlet for swimming, and natural pools to lounge in. Bring your own snorkel gear or rent at the park (included with Plus ticket).
Nature & Wildlife
Coral Reef Aquarium
Walk through an aquarium showcasing the reef ecosystems of the Mexican Caribbean: coral, tropical fish, rays, and more, all without getting in the water.
Aviary
Walk through a natural sanctuary where tropical birds interact freely: toucans, macaws, flamingos, and more.
Sea Turtles
See sea turtles of all sizes and learn about Xcaret’s conservation program: the park has released millions of baby turtles into the wild.
Jaguars Island
Spot jaguars, pumas, and other big cats in a natural jungle habitat as you walk through the park.
Tropical Jungle Trail
Breathe the aroma of the vegetation, listen to the sounds, and integrate fully with nature in the jungle of Xcaret Mexico.
Culture & Architecture
Xcaret México Espectacular
The park’s crown jewel. A nightly show with 300+ performers on a massive stage: traditional music, dance, horsemanship, fire, and a journey through Mexico’s history from pre-Hispanic civilizations to modern day. Plan your day so you’re still in the park for this.
Chapels
Two chapels integrated into the natural landscape: the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe (with underground tunnels) and the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel at the park’s highest point with Caribbean views.
House of Whispers
There are people who can’t keep secrets, but a house? Don’t miss this original place where no secret is safe. Do you dare tell yours?
“Bridge To Paradise” Mexican Cemetery
A colorful artistic interpretation of a Mexican cemetery that reflects the country’s unique relationship with death. Symbolic, surprising, and genuinely moving.
Pre-Hispanic Village
A recreation of an ancient Mayan village: homes, customs, and daily life. Comes alive at sunset with performers and ceremonies.
Horse Exhibition
Live charrería: traditional Mexican horsemanship with charros and adelitas riding Azteca horses. A colorful, energetic show.
Ancient Sites
Get close to the ancient cultures of Mexico in the archaeological site at Xcaret. These buildings witnessed important events in the commercial, maritime, and religious life of the former inhabitants of Polé, nowadays known as Xcaret.
For Families
Main Plaza
Be surprised by the wonders you will find in the place that welcomes you to Xcaret. At the Main Plaza you’ll find food, handicrafts, Mexican music, and more.
Children’s World
A dedicated area for kids under 12: slides, hanging bridges, tunnels, shallow cenotes, and interactive activities. Exclusively for children.
Scenic Tower
Rise 80 meters (260 ft) for a 360° view over the jungle, rivers, and Caribbean. Slow-rotating, good for all ages and fitness levels.

This yoga class exceeded all my expectations! Andy read the room perfectly and accommodated different levels, and even provided a great session for my pregnant friend. After the class I felt mentally/emotionally balanced and physically invigorated. I would definitely recommend Andy if you’re looking for a great yoga class in Tulum!!
We had such an amazing experience. Very responsive and timely and great communication and people. Couldn’t recommend more.
I had the absolute best experience with Your Tulum Concierge. I am an overthinker and an over-planner and Paola was an absolute gem at securing all the reservations and transportation requests I had. She has an amazing attitude, was flexible with changes, and was incredibly thorough with her follow ups pre-trip and during our excursions, just checking in to make sure we were having the best experience. Toward the end of our time at a beach club in Tulum, Joost was readily available and willing to accommodate an early pick up with beverage service on our ride back to our resort. Overall, the experience was 10/10 and I will never plan a trip to Tulum without Your Concierge Tulum again. Thank you all so much!!
Thank you guys YOUR TULUM CONCIERGE FOR FINDING ME PERSON FR DECORATION OF THE NEW YORK BARNEYS AIRBNB. "As a boyfriend, I wanted to make my girlfriend's birthday as special and unforgettable as possible, and the birthday decorations at the New York Barney Airbnb in Tulum completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, she was speechless. Every detail was beautifully arranged, creating the most romantic and elegant atmosphere. Seeing the smile on her face and the joy in her eyes made every bit of planning worth it. The decorations turned an already beautiful trip into a memory we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for helping me give the woman I love a birthday she will never forget. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to create a truly magical and memorable celebration." Thanks again!
We had such an amazing experience with Your Tulum Concierge! From beginning to end, communication was incredibly easy, quick, and seamless. They took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure every detail was taken care of. The villa decorations were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The transportation services were also amazing. Every driver we had was so friendly, professional, and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Your Tulum Concierge again. Highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tulum!
Juan Carlos is an amazing instructor and gave us wonderful alcoholic and non alcoholic options for our mixology class! He really made this class a highlight of our trip. He traveled to our Air BnB and made everything so easy! Our group of 13 would highly recommend him, he is so kind and great!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can kids do everything?
Yes, it’s arguably the most family-friendly park. Children’s World is a dedicated area for under-12s. There’s no minimum age, and the underground rivers, aquarium, turtles, and butterfly pavilion are all hits with kids.
Is food included?
Only with the Plus ticket (buffet lunch at any of 5 restaurants). Regular and At Night tickets do not include food. You can buy it inside the park. There are multiple restaurants and food stands.
How does this compare to Xel-Ha?
Xcaret is bigger, more varied, and culture-heavy: 50+ attractions, wildlife, architecture, and a massive evening show. Xel-Ha is a natural water park: all-inclusive food and drinks, focused on snorkeling and water activities. Xcaret is the full-day “do everything” park. Xel-Ha is the “float, snorkel, eat, repeat” park.
How does this compare to Xplor?
Xplor is pure adrenaline: ziplines, amphibious vehicles, underground rafting, water slides. Xcaret is nature, culture, and variety: underground rivers, wildlife, architecture, and the evening show. Completely different experiences.
How do I pay?
The full amount is paid with an online payment link. Prefer Mexican pesos? Just let us know.
