The Basics

A prebooked admission ticket or day tour to Xcaret park makes it easy to access an impressive range of activities, with entry including the opportunity to snorkel with fish in natural lagoons, visit the park's Maya archaeological sites, and and catch the Xcaret Mexico Espectacular light and dance show. Some day tours have optional upgrades for extras such as a buffet lunch or exclusive changing rooms, while combo tours can be booked to also visit other nearby attractions, such as the Chichen Itza or Xel-Ha ruins or Xplor Adventure Park.

While there’s plenty to do within the bounds of a general admission ticket, a plethora of add-on activities are also available. For an extra fee, take a speed boat ride (from $59), snorkel atop an offshore coral garden (from $49), take in a theatrical interpretation of the origins of Mexican culture over dinner at the Gran Tlacho Theater (from $59), or experience the Temascal, a traditional four-part wellness ritual (from $39).

Xcaret a must see
Everything was excellent. Transportation on time and very comfortable. Xcaret is beautiful and has something for everyone. Evening show was impressive. Well worth the money.

The show at 7:00 pm. It was very interesting to see how the Mexican culture developed, all the way from the beginning.

That park from top to bottom is was worth the money. The plus package is 100% worth is and saves you money in the long run. Food was amazing and park was fantastic. Its a total pity about the misogynistic rude xcaret tour guides. Both guides for the transportation were ruide, unhelpful and just wanted to sell you items. I would 100% go again but will never deal with the ignorance of these guides again. I would not tolerate how they treated me and my wife again.
Amazing experience

Tour Xcaret All Inclusive from Playa del Carmen - Included Transportation
Xcaret made my Birthday Amazing 🏝🥳, My boyfriend and I had an amazing time. The food in the international buffet was not that good. But the huge frozen drinks in the stands were everything. There is alot of walking involved and even though I got the Xcaret All inclusive Plus package $225 each. It only includes very few things. Lunch and a show at night but not breakfast and dinner.
