If you’re considering a night tour in the Riviera Maya, Xplor Fuego offers a unique twist on your typical adventure day. This tour promises a vibrant mix of adrenaline-pumping activities set against the backdrop of the dark jungle, illuminated only by fire and torches. From ziplining into the night to floating through underground rivers, it’s the kind of experience that can turn an ordinary vacation into a memorable story.
One thing we really appreciate about this experience is the way it blends excitement with a touch of the mysterious darkness of the jungle—something you don’t get during daytime adventures. Plus, the round transportation included makes it super convenient, especially if you’re staying in Cancun or nearby. However, keep in mind that this is a fairly active tour, and the set start time (4:30 pm) means you’ll need to be ready for an evening packed with adventures.
This tour suits anyone looking for a thrilling evening activity or wanting to try something different after a day of sightseeing. It’s also great for those who love outdoor adventures, aren’t afraid of a little darkness, and want to experience the jungle in a whole new light.

The Itinerary Breakdown
The first part of the experience kicks off in Xplor Park around 4:30 pm, where you’ll meet your group and get ready for an evening packed with activities. The park’s setting is absolutely stunning—situated among the Mayan jungle and underground rivers, it offers a scenic backdrop that makes every activity feel even more special after sunset.
Activities are well-organized and cover a lot of ground—and here’s what you can expect:
- Ziplining Circuit: A total of nine zip lines, including the highest in the zone. We loved the way the zip lines are set up to let you glide into the darkness, feeling the rush of air as the jungle whispers around you. For those with height or weight considerations, the minimum height is 1.40 meters and weight 40kg, with a maximum of 136kg.
- Rafting and Caverns: You’ll paddle in underground rivers for about 570 meters, paddling through caverns lit only by the glow of fire. The stalactites and underground formations create an otherworldly atmosphere, making the rafting experience more immersive.
- Jungle Drive: An amphibious vehicle takes you on a tour through the jungle, giving you a chance to see the landscape in a different way. It’s a fun, less adrenaline-heavy activity that balances out the thrill rides.
- Swimming in Lava River: The 350-meter lava river full of stalactites offers a cool, dark water escape—something you might find surprisingly calming amid the excitement.
- Additional Activities: The “Toboganxote” slide (a 5-in-1 slide), and caverns walk add to the variety, ensuring there’s something for all.
The Fire and Darkness Experience
What sets this tour apart is its evening setting—fire and torches light up the park, creating an incredible atmosphere. As one reviewer, Katherine_C, pointed out, “The torches and experience of this amazing adventure park made it really special for my boyfriend and me.” The glow of fire enhances the thrill and adds a visual element you don’t get during the day, making the ziplining and rafting feel even more adventurous.
Food and Refreshments
After the adrenaline rush, you’ll be treated to a buffet dinner with ribs (vegetarian options are available), along with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee, atole, champurrado, and fresh water. This is a good touch, giving you some fuel before heading back into the dark night. The locker system, capable of holding two people’s belongings, helps keep your valuables safe.
