Yes, Xcaret is worth visiting. Not only is it one of Mexico's most beloved and thrilling natural adventure parks, but it's also one of the few in the world with such a strong emphasis on cultural immersion. Add the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya, and you get a well-rounded experience that appeals to a range of ages and interests. If you book a tour that includes transportation, you don't even need to worry about the expense of a rental car, including the tolls on Federal Highway 307.

Per one customer who booked the Xcaret Park Plus With Round Transportation From Cancun & Riviera Maya, "One of the best experiences I've ever had ever!! We enjoyed floating through the underground rivers. The animal exhibits were gorgeous, the show was spectacular, and the food was amazing. I just cannot say enough positive things about this place. I definitely hope to return!"

No, you don’t need to prebook your Xcaret admission tickets: you can buy your pass on the day at the door. However, if you buy tickets online at least seven days before your visit, you’ll get a discount. Plus, prebooking guarantees your entry—as Xcaret has limited capacity—and helps you avoid lines.

No, a standard Xcaret admission ticket doesn’t include food. You’re not allowed to take food inside the park, so you’ll need to budget to eat at Xcaret’s food outlets. An Xcaret Plus ticket includes a buffet lunch, a beer, and non-alcoholic drinks at select park restaurants, plus other perks.

The Xcaret Plus ticket gives you everything standard admission does—including access to 50 Xcaret attractions such as rivers, beaches, pools, and jungle trails— as well as a buffet lunch, a beer, and non-alcoholic drinks at select restaurants, and access to Plus dressing rooms, restrooms, lockers, and snorkeling gear.

Start by floating along Xcaret’s underground rivers, past jungles and caves. Doing this first gives you time to enjoy other activities at your leisure. Perhaps attend a Voladores and Flying Eagles show; view turtles and manatees; visit the beach, pools, and Mayan villages; or watch an Espectacular show.

Two days is ideal. There’s so much to do at Xcaret that squeezing everything into one day is hard without rushing. Two days gives you time to experience the three underground rivers, relax on the beach, see all the wildlife and shows, and explore ancient Mayan sites.

Yes, you can rent lockers at Xcaret. They’re near the entrance and can fit two small-medium backpacks, plus some small belongings. Locker hire is US$5.99 per day, with a returnable US$10 deposit. If you buy an Xcaret Plus admission ticket, day-long locker hire is included.
