- www.jordanoutside.com/xplor-p... If you are heading to Cancun or that part of Mexico, you need to fit in a day at Xplor Adventure Park. This park has ziplines, hammock ziplines, amphibious vehicles that you take off roading through tunnels and water, underground rivers to swim through, underground expeditions with water slides and obstacles, and a river raft adventure. At the end of the day when you are hungry, it also includes a delicious buffet. This park was one of the highlights of our trip and we would highly recommend going!
We couldn't be happier with this whole experience: We did the amphibious vehicles two times because they were so fun ( night time too), I told my two sons that they would never offer such a rugged ride and so long in Canada ( super generous in the time and distance - 5 KMS ) without charging a huge fee, and it would be 'way less rugged. We found the food to be outstanding - the Picania was out of this world. The zip lines were the real deal! Even a bit scary for me as an adult. Zip line into the water - my boys loved it, but me, not so much.
Thanks so much for the feedback. It sounds like an amazing time. We loved exploring there too 😃
The waterfall at the end of the river is so hard to breath in I almost drowned no joke 💀
Wow, that's crazy. I'm glad you're ok.
Thank you! Very informative! Short, sweet & straight to the point! Thank you 😊
Hi Santia, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it 😃
I am going now and thanks for the tips
I'm so excited for you! You're going to love it 😃
Best review out of everyone here thank you!
Thanks Melinda! I appreciate it 😀
Headed there this week. Thank you for the informative video!
Have fun, you're going to love it!
when i went, i loved the off-road course and the last zip line where you go in the water, they were the best parts, and also the buffet is good, tbh I think it’s better than disneyland, there’s no lines at all, and very rarely if there is a line, it’s always really short, overall I really recommend it and it’s a lot cheaper than disneyland too.
Thanks Caret! I totally agree with you 😀
Awesome video! I will be heading there in two weeks. What time would you suggest we arrive at the park? We want to try to do all of the activities and am scared there wont be enough time!
Thanks! You're going to have a great time. When we went, the park opened at 9am. We got there at 8:30 and went directly to the line to get in. This gave us the full day to explore everything. Hopefully that helps 😃
The ending to that cave was everythinggggg wasn’t it!? My husband and I went in 2019 and we’re going again this year JUST because of that!
I totally agree. It's so amazing!
@@JordanOutside jhhh
@@JordanOutside is unhappy mmm j
I j
M I’m jl like I I’ll l
We were there for Christmas, very fun.
Awesome! Such a fun time 😀
Quick question. How do you activate your helmet cam every time to film? It's got to be cumbersome to try to find that button to turn it on. I have a GP9
Hey Jeffrey, great question. I would tilt my head down and have my wife turn it on and double check it was recording by the red light flashing. Hope that helps 😃
Headed there in three weeks!
You're going to love it!
hey thank you for making this video. I'm just curious as to how you got around from the airport to your destination and other places? I'm thinking of going but I wouldn't know how to get around.
Hi Maribel, We rented a car and that's how we got around. One thing we learned is that you don't pump your own gas at the gas station. When you pull up to the gas station, you tell the attendant what type of gas you want and how much. We also gave them a small tip. Hope that helps 😀
Great video. Are there weight requirements for any of the activities?
Thanks, it was so much fun. The minimum weight required is 88 pounds and the maximum weight is 300 pounds. I weight 220 pounds and I didn't have any issues. Hope that helps 😀
was the water cold in the river?
Yes, the water was cold, but because it was a hot day it felt great.
Hi there, thsnk you for your video, so informative and helpful for planning. I was wondering about the deer zipline route. Is it very high? I'm a bit scared of Heights but would love to try it. In your video you mention it's only 3 ziplines but in their website they say there's 7 ziplines and in another video it's says 5 zip lines for the deer route.
Hi Veronica. The Deer Zipline is 98 feet high or 28 meters high, but because you get clipped in on the platform it doesn't seem as scary. I'm scared of heights too, but I loved these ziplines. We only went on 3, but maybe they are including the Hammock Ziplines as part of the Deer zipline route. That would make 5 zip lines if you include the Hammock Ziplines. Hope that helps. 😀
Thank you so much, it has definitely put my mind at ease. Once again awesome video, looking forward to my trip 😀
I really want to go. Thank you for sharing. But I dont know how to swim 😢 Were going in 6months. Maybe I can learn before then. Is the water deep in the caves?
You will love it. You wear a life jacket in the caves, but I would recommend practicing swimming so you feel confident. It's totally worth it.
@@JordanOutside ok good to know. thank you.
thank you for saying water shoes are needed! Will buy before i go. Can you say how much did you pay for the entire activities, do you pay for the go-pro vidoes and did you pay insurance for the vehicle? thanks
We bought our tickets in a bundle for Xplor an Xcaret, so we paid $207.98 for myself and my wife. That fee included parking and dinner. I brought my own GoPro, so I didn't have to pay anything for that. They do have a photo pass you can buy for around $27 per person. We didn't pay insurance for the vehicle. Hope that helps. 😀
Hi there,
Im planning on going with some friends but there are two that do not know how to swim! Did this Xplor park have any deep spots or were you able to stand in the water of all the activities? Thank you!
Hi Agustin, The only one that had some deeper spots was the river swim, but you have to wear a life jacket on that one so you are floating on the water. They don't have to do the river swim if they don't feel comfortable. You get to choose what you do and what you don't. Hope that helps 😃
omg i webt there and te higj ziplin was super scary i cry but i leik the water one and tthe hammer spahsh
I really liked the water one too! 😃
I'm going there for a family trip for winter thanks for the information
Thanks Lily! You're going to have a great time. I'm excited for you 😀
I am afraid of heights can I do everything else but the zip lines ? Or is it mandatory?
Hi Linda, the zip lines are NOT mandatory. That's the great thing about the park is that you can choose what you want to do. I'm excited for you. It was such a fun experience! 😀
When I went to the Underground Expedition, I kept stubbing and hitting my leg on the rocks and it sucked
That does suck. We wore closed toe water shoes that protected our feet. Hope you're ok
When you finish the zipline and finish in water, is it deep? I don't know how to swim but i would love to do the ziplines!
It was about waste deep, so you can stand in the water pretty easily at the end. They also have a person at the end to help you stand up and get out of the water. You'll love it!
Was it worth it? Not sure you had fun?
Hi Paula, YES it was worth it. This was so much fun and I would definitely do it again. Hope that helps 😀
About how long did adventure take you? A few hours? Half a day?
The park opened at 9am and closed at 5pm. We got there at 8:30am so we could get in first and then we left at 5pm as they were closing. So basically the whole day, but totally worth it!
how long did it take to do the undegroup expedition?
Hi Sara, it took about an hour. There was a long line at one part that held us up for at least 15 minutes. It was sooo fun!
What was the weight limitation for zip lining if you would happen to know ? Please and thank you
Hi Elvis, the weight limit is 300 pounds. I weight about 230 pounds and did fine. Hope that helps.

What kind of shoes/tops do you recommend getting?
I wore Keen water shoes and they were great!
@@JordanOutside cool how bout for your top?
@@RahzAlGhul I wore a tank top. I put it in my locker for the water parts.
When you did the zip line that had the hammock, how deep was the water?
Hi Caitlian, I never got into the deeper water so I'm not sure. They have a platform at the end that you're standing in about 2 feet of water. For the deeper water, the person on the platform grabbed my hammock and pulled me over to the platform. Hope that helps. 😃
My fiancée and I are going for our honeymoon next month! For the zip lines, is there a way I can avoid doing it while my fiancée does it or do I need to do it too to get to where he goes to? 😅 I’m terrified of zip lines and that’s at the top of his list to do 😂
Hey Mak, congrats on getting married next month! You enter and exit the zip line area in the same place because that is where you get your zipline harness and then leave your zipline harness, so yes you could wait there, but it would be a long wait. I'm terrified of heights, but the way they have it set up isn't so scary. Each platform gives you lots of room to get hooked up before you get close to the edge to start ziplining. If you can muster the courage, I highly recommend it. If not, you could wait there. Hope that helps 😀
@@JordanOutside thank you! And okay thanks so much for the quick reply!
How did you record? I wanna go and record my experience but I heard some people say they don’t allow you to record and I wanna take my phone but I’m afraid ima drop my phone.
Hi Layna, I brought 2 Go Pros. One was attached to my helmet. I requested a helmet that had a go pro mount. The other one I had on a wrist mount. I had to have both of my hands free, but they allowed the wrist mount since I could still use both hands. I don't know if they would allow a phone if its in your hand. It would have to be mounted some how. Hope that helps!
Do they require you to wear a mask the whole time?
For the ziplines, yes. For the water activities you are allowed to take it off.
How long was the tour? Can you build your package?
We were at the park all day. (9am to 5pm) It's not really a tour as you get to choose where you want to go in the park. If you just wanted to do ziplines all day you could. This video shows the order we went in, but you get to choose what you want to do during the time that the park is open. The package we chose included the buffet. Hope that helps
Hi, are the zip lines smooth when they stop? I’ve been on some rough ones where they jolt to a stop and it’s quite painful. Do these ones stop more gradual and smoothly?
These zip lines were so fun! It was never painful when we stopped, but you definitely swing up at the end of each zipline as you are stopping. There is always a person waiting at the end of each zipline to help you catch your balance as you stop. So it's not gradual and smooth, but it's not painful either. Hope that helps. 😀
If you recline back as you come to a stop you'll find your landing experience much easier.
@@TankManHeavy Great tip 😀
Did you do Xplor as well as Xplor Fuego? Curious, if one was to do Xplor by day, is there any reason to do fuego? We are going to be Xcaret hotel guests. Deabting to schedule Fuego since we already plan to do xplor by day.
We only did the regular Xplor. When we went they weren't doing Xplor Fuego. I wish I could have tried out both? Never been on zip lines at night. If you end up doing both, let me know how you liked Xplor Fuego. Xplor was amazing during the day, I can only imagine it would be fun at night too 😀
@@JordanOutside Thank you. I think we will check it out for Fuego too and will report back in July once we have gone :)
@@EliteEventAZ Awesome, can't wait to hear back!
Do you really have to know how to swim to do the river swim or can you just walk it?
You have a life jacket on so you're always floating and they have ropes on the side that you can pull yourself along. I'm 6 feet tall, and I was able to touch in a lot of places, but there were some places I could not touch. Hope that helps.
@@JordanOutside thanks so much.
What kind of mount was it for the helmet?
Hey Carson, the helmet had the flat GoPro mount, so you need to bring the clip and mount that corresponds with a flat mount. Hope that helps 😃
@@JordanOutside it did help they ran out of the go pro helmet
He looks like the rock
Ha ha, thanks 😃
