Xcaret is a gigantic eco-archaeological complex with more than enough attractions to keep all ages busy for days. The whole family will love its jungle trails, culture and nature – and tasty traditional food. There's nothing else like it in the Riviera Maya.

Located by the sea near Cancun, Xcaret boasts more than 50 attractions that take you through the heart of the jungle in many different ways. Check out Jaguar Island and the Butterfly Pavilion or walk through caves, archaeological sites and a Maya village. You can even dive into the water with a snorkelling tour, underground river swim and then relax in Acuatic Paradise.

And when night falls, you'll be treated to the Xcaret México Espectacular, a light and colour show that takes you through the country's history. A great family day out in nature.

This place is amazing. So much to do and see, didn’t have enough time to do it all. Our rep advised us to get this ticket without transfer as it was a lot cheaper to do it without transfers and just pay for a taxi as we were staying nearby. The show afterwards is incredible aswell. Highly recommend this place. If you do the underground river, defiantly recommend putting you need into their bags which they will then transfer to the end of the river for you. As it’s a long walk back to the start.

Ticket only price was cheaper than booking direct and booking with transfer. Recommend going earlier to xcaret as it is a whole day experience! Buffet prices is 40 dollars in resort so better upgrade if you are planning to eat.

The trip didn’t include transfers to and from the park, unlike what was being offered at the resort by Lomas for the same cost. Whilst the Park was amazing I wouldn’t recommend buying this experience from TUI unless you want to spend more money on a private transfer.

It's not a cheap place to go, the activities are good but overpriced, and it's a very long day, we could leave at 4 or after the show at 9:30pm, 4pm is too early and the show is way too long and drawn out

We booked the tickets without transport and a guide. We got a taxi from our resort (about $30US) which gave us more flexibility for start and finish of our day. The cenote swim was great and the park is clean and has much to see. Some of the additional activities are a bit pricey but if you don't do these you can still have a good day. Our tickets included lunch which was a buffet of great quality and quantity of choice. The show and the end of the day was just superb. Taxi home was easy to get.

Es war ein toller Tag und wir haben sehr viel erlebt...vor allem sind die Rivers ein Highlight und bei den Temperaturen ein Muß. Viele Attraktionen kosten extra, das ist schade. Kann dadurch sehr teuer werden. Aber für uns war es ein toller Tag ohne zugebuchte Extras .
