What To Expect

Make your own way to the tropical forest north of Playa del Carmen. Arrive at JOYÁ's custom-built theater, the first permanent Cirque du Soleil show outside of the United States.

As the show begins, immerse yourself in a captivating show inspired by Mexico's rich history and the monarch butterfly's migratory journey. It follows a rebellious teenage girl who is swept into her grandfather's mystical jungle world. Alongside a quirky group of half-human, half-animal assistants, the eccentric naturalist seeks the meaning of life. Through mesmerizing characters, JOYÀ celebrates life’s beauty and the passing of knowledge across generations for survival.

Choose from four different seating packages; you can enjoy the show only from a seat at lateral tables or a high stool in the last rows of the theater. Or, you can upgrade your experience to include:

· Premium center seats with a half-bottle of Champagne per person and gourmet appetizers.
· Premium seats near the stage with a 3-course gourmet dinner and half-bottle of Champagne per person.
· The VIP experience with the best seats in the theater, a 3-course gourmet dinner, unlimited Champagne during dinner, early access to the theater, and VIP service.

what a venue!

Michelle_P, Jun 2026
The venue was incredible and the performers amazing. A wonderful story line and easy to understand in english and spanish. We did the appetizer ticket and would have been just fine without. The show is family friendly and only 80 mins GO ENJOY!

Just go!

Circus de sol.

Dave_B, Jun 2026
Found the prices for drinks really expensive and the photos even though good did not warrant the price asked for. Was really looking forward to this experience but did not live up to our expectations at nearly £300 for 2 people. One positive was the transport.

Joya !

Ashley_b, Jun 2026
The show itself was amazing ! I love Cirque du Soliel ! The experience/ venue was great . There was live music afterwards . I personally Wouldn’t purchase this experience again on Viator unless I needed transportation bc Viator prices are significantly higher than prices at the venue. Also communication with Viator is always a headache ! Lastly, I would skip the appetizers , as they are not appetizers as described it’s more like hors d'oeuvres and I didn’t like any of them .

Great show and dinner experience

Shivum_K, Jun 2026
Redeeming the voucher at the box office went off without a hitch. There is a slight risk you get assigned bad seats since Viator doesn't let you choose them versus booking them direct, but we were given great seats. The dinner service was great and very attentive. Dinner itself was also great, everything was good except I wish the desserts were a little better. The presentation of all the food was unique and camera worthy. The show itself was fun and the performers were very talented. I believe it lasted for around 1 hr 15 min. Highly recommend.

Jaw dropping

Anthia_T, May 2026
Amazing show from start to finish! Thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Definitely would watch again!

Misleading information

Jaspal_C, May 2026
When bought tickets it’s said Red Tide drinks on us but after seated and asked the waiter, he said no it’s not included. It’s misleading information was given.

Good show, bad service.

John_F, May 2026
Show was good but waiter never came back with our drinks and never saw him again through the whole show.

Could not have asked for a better experience!

Cheryl_S, Apr 2026
Everything was fantastic...the transfer was on time, the venue is amazing, the dinner was delicious and the show was amazing!

A great show to see. It...

Roy_B, Apr 2026
A great show to see. It was filled with wonder and amazement. A true masterpiece from cirque de soleli

Our third viewing of Joya, obviously we enjoy it!

Dan_H, Apr 2026
This was our third time to see Joya, and our friend's first time. We have enjoyed the performance every time and there have been a couple of new performances in each show. We do the preferred seats with appetizer package. The only caution I would add is not to order the bottled water, which was 20.00 US a bottle.

Best night out. Worth every penny. It was so great

barb_s, Apr 2026
Great for most ages and its a night you will remember. The only thing I say is get the meal looked like a really missed out from what I saw

Lylia_K, Apr 2026
Joya VIP experience was a memorable show and dinner and visual delight! Such talented performers; the food and service was impeccable! Extraordinary venue.

Very entertaining...

Jonathan_Y, Apr 2026
Very entertaining show--especially for kids. Although the dialogue is mostly in Spanish, some actors say their lines in both Spanish and English. The acrobatics were amazing.

Excepted more action...

Amy_B, Apr 2026
Excepted more action since it was in a permanent building.. The acts lasted to long became very repetitive. Saw a “knock off show in South Carolina that was the same as this one Sorry could not recommend

It was a superb show, spectacular and intimate at the same time. Our children watched open mouthed in awe. Would 100% recommend.

Great nice out

Megan_M, Apr 2026
The food was really good. It was worth it just for that. The second showing is the one that’s more a party.

The best activity in Cancun

Trevor_C, Mar 2026
This was an absolutely wonderful show. This was by far the best activity we did in Cancun. They also had the nicest restrooms I have ever been to in Mexico. The acts were incredible.

If you’re not having...

Shelly_F, Mar 2026
If you’re not having their meal option, eat before you go as there’s nothing to buy/eat except for popcorn. The show is spectacular with something going on in every corner of the stage of the room.
