- We absolutely loved the Xenotes Tour by Xcaret - And it was huge bonus that it was included with our stay at Hotel Xcaret Arte. In our opinion it's one of the must-do off-site activities if you're staying at an Xcaret property! Hope you enjoy - Let me know if you have any questions!

ohhhh what a fun adventure! 😮 life is short, I love to see people enjoying their lives to the fullest, like this! ❤ more adventures for youuuu
I did this tour July 2022! It was amazing! First time I had ever repelled! It was scary at first but 2 seconds into my decent I was like OH! Not bad at all! Elias was also my tour guide and we all had an amazing day as a group . Would recommend 100%
I would've been ready to go home after your husband fell LOL 😅 but wow it looked so beautiful!
I hope you have more xcaret content coming because you do such a great job of capturing everything 💖
Thank you so much 🥹🥹
I screamed so hard when your husband fell!!! 😮
You and me both 😅🥲
i went for a week with my mom and dad and brothers it was so fun!
i am going just me and my mom in june 7th!
I can’t swim… do you think it’s good for a non-swimmer? I’m deciding whether I should go this Friday 😂
Ahh, this looks like so much fun! We’re scheduled to this next week! (And we were so paranoid about how cold the cenote water might be, we packed wetsuit jackets 😅😅😅)
Since it’s always fairly warm around Cancun, you get used to it pretty fast even when the water is chilly! Also since you’re going in April it will probably be warmer than when we went in February but being prepared won’t hurt. Have fun!!
@@SaraLim Thanks! We had our first walk around Xcaret Arte today, it’s such a beautiful place. Can’t wait to explore more and try out more food tomorrow :)
Are you able to just walk down the 'exit' stairs for the rappel & ziplining activities to get into the water? I'd jump off a platform or cliff but don't like being strapped into those things. Going to Xcaret Mexico for a week's stay next Friday!
The stairs were really only used as exits, and I’m not sure you’d be allowed to jump off instead of zipline for safety reasons. Since ziplining is a significant part of the day, you may want to consider another activity during your stay if you’re not interested in it!
@@SaraLim got it! Yeah, as much as I’d like to see the cenotes I kind of just want to swim in them. Probably going to do Xel-Ha instead. Your video and response were helpful, thanks so much!
Great tour, im going in a couple of weeks, did you used a go pro? did you secured to the life jacket? what did you used?
Yes I used a GoPro! I had my GoPro mounted to a waterproof selfie stick throughout the day. There was 1 wrist strap attached to the GoPro and another wrist strap on the selfie stick, so I looped both wrist straps through each of my life vest straps that buckled across my chest to secure it
@@SaraLim Thanks, thats going to be very useful.
Thank you for sharing. I would like to do this activity. But, I am not much of a jumper is it required to jump from high places to the water? Thank you
The highest jump is the cliff diving activity, but you could skip that one if you wanted to! Ziplining activities will require you to step off from a height above the water, but it’s less scary for most people since you glide on the zipline instead of falling downward
Great video! Did most people take their phones with them in the waterproof cases?
I read your other responses regarding phones, thanks for the info!
Hey Sara I saw that you said you went in February, I am also planning a trip there in February and was wondering if the water was super cold or was it not too bad?
It was cold enough that I was relieved that I was wearing a long sleeve rash guard to keep me a bit warmer, particularly in water where it was shaded. But the cenotes with sunlight weren’t bad at all!
Is this place big people friendly like 250 pounds?
Also is it kid friendly?
So you would you suggest a person to go if they do not know how to swim ?
If you don't know how to swim and that makes you fearful of being in water, I definitely wouldn't recommend going on this tour.
If you don't know how to swim/float on your own but are not fearful of water AND would be okay with moving through water while wearing a life jacket, then you should be okay
did you use go pro?? or a waterproof phone case?
I used a GoPro but there were a lot of other people on the tour that were using a waterproof phone case! But there were some activities where they advised against it because of increased risk of loss (ex cliff jumping). I strapped my GoPro to my life vest so this wasn’t an issue for me
Can you share what straps you used/where you strapped your GoPro to (e.g shoulder, chest, etc)? Did you use the same mount the entire time?
I’m going soon and would love to use my GoPro for footage!
@@alexanderboone9452 I had my GoPro mounted to a waterproof selfie stick throughout the day. There was a wrist strap attached to both the GoPro itself and the selfie stick, so I was able to loop both wrist straps through each of the two straps on my life vest that buckled across my chest to be secured! I'm sure you might be able to make a chest mount work too
What gro pro type did you have?
If you didn’t want to zip line were you still able to get in the water and swim?
It might depend on the cenote! For some it seemed like the safest way to get in the water was to zipline into it
Is this tour part of the all inclusive package? Thank you
If you book a stay at any of the Xcaret properties, you get complimentary access and transportation to all of their parks/activities, including Xenotes!
@@SaraLim Thank you!
Did you guys get sick at all following this trip? We want to do cenotes tour but are hesitant because of the stuff we heard about people getting potentially sick from these cenotes
Not at all! You should be fine as long as you don’t drink the water while swimming in it
@@SaraLim thank you so much for your reply, was there a lot travel time on the bus or was it pretty even between the time on the bus and at the cenotes?
i dont swim but we have group of peope going there. Is there wat to not get wet and meet them somewhere
You could sit out of all the water activities and wait on land for your group to be done if you wanted to, but if you don't have other people with you that are also sitting out, it might be quite boring to be waiting on the sidelines all day. If this is the case I'd consider doing a different Xcaret activity or just relaxing back at your hotel!
Do you know the weight limit for the zipline?
I think it's 280lbs, but I'd double check with Xcaret before booking!
Is the dark water scary?
It’s not as dark as it looks on the surface, so I didn’t find it scary! But if you’re generally scared of water it might be
How much were the photos?
There were different packages depending on how many parks you wanted the photos from, but I think I paid $50 USD or so for photos from the hotel + two parks
How long was the tour?
Including the transportation time to and from the hotel, around 8:30-5pm
Hahaha! Fun times. You should do a bikini try on haul review
💀
Why did you block your butt with a "happy emoji" , that wasn't necessary. lol
Do not be fooled is not worthy the kind of money, thousands of dollars for such place the entrace to the park is 200 hundred dollars inside they will rob you in hotel
It’s included with your stay at hotel xcaret and yes it’s probably the most expensive resort there but all fun inclusive
