The details on what’s included are limited, but based on the information, it offers adventure activities like zip-lining, amphibious vehicle rides, and underground river swims. It’s a hit with those who want some physical activity and excitement.

Xoximilco: If you’re in the mood for a lively party, Xoximilco is a colorful, festive experience. It’s essentially a Mexican fiesta on floating trajineras, with music, dancing, and traditional foods. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy local culture in a fun, social setting.

Combining parks: The real value lies in the freedom to combine Xcaret Plus with either Xplor or Xoximilco. You can start with culture and nature at Xcaret, then switch to adrenaline at Xplor or unwind with a party at Xoximilco. The choice depends on your mood, but the organised transfers help simplify logistics.

What to Expect on the Day

Timing and flexibility: You’ll be assigned a pick-up time the day before, and it’s important to be punctual — the transfers are shared, and delays could mean missing out. The exact itinerary depends on your starting point and chosen parks, but the overall flow is designed to maximize your experience.

What to bring: Pack comfortable shoes, clothes that can get dirty, a towel, biodegradable sunscreen, and cash or credit cards. Since you’ll be in the water (for rivers or snorkeling), water shoes are recommended, and clothes that can dry quickly will come in handy.

Restrictions: The tour is not suitable for pregnant women, people with mobility issues, or those with health concerns like back problems, vertigo, or recent surgeries. It’s also not for non-swimmers or heavier travelers over 287 lbs. If you or someone in your group falls into these categories, think twice before booking.

Weather considerations: The parks are outdoors and involve water activities, so a rainy day could impact your enjoyment. However, given the variety of attractions, some covered or dry options still make the day worthwhile.

The Real Value: Is It Worth It?

At $304 per person, this package isn’t cheap, but it’s comprehensive. The inclusion of multiple parks, unlimited re-entries, meals, and shows makes it a good deal if you want a full-day experience without paying separately for each attraction.

The key to getting your money’s worth is planning ahead. Decide early whether to visit both parks or just one, and be clear with transfer logistics. Because there’s no refund for skipping the second park if you decide not to go, make sure your plans are firm.

Several travelers mention the good organization of transfers and the variety of activities as highlights, though some note that the day can be quite full and tiring. If you thrive on busy days filled with different experiences, this is a fantastic way to pack in as much as possible.
