Once you arrive at Xel-Há and start your day with a guided tour of the park to get oriented. After that, you're free to explore at your own pace. Use bikes or the provided shuttle service to move around the sprawling natural park, and enjoy as many activities as you would like until departure.
After entering the park, walk past the dolphin area and follow the sign marked Casilleros/Lockers to reach the locker room. At the counter, you'll receive a key and locker number. Lift the square lever to open your locker. Changing rooms are limited, but restrooms can also be used to change.
Snorkeling is one of the most popular activities at Xel-Há, and it's included with your admission. Pick up your gear and dive into the calm inlet, where fresh and saltwater meet. Discover over 90 species of tropical fish and marine life in this natural aquarium connected to the Caribbean Sea.
Test your courage at the Cliff of Courage, one of Xel-Há’s signature adrenaline attractions. Climb a five-meter-high rocky ledge using footholds and rope grips, then take the plunge into the clear turquoise waters below. It’s safe, supervised, and perfect for thrill seekers looking for a rush.
Xel-Há’s zip-lines offer a splash of excitement for all ages. Glide through the air on multiple short zip-lines that end with a fun drop into the water. These mini adventures are scattered along the river route and are a great way to mix thrills with a cool Caribbean landing.
Climb the 131-foot Scenic Lighthouse for breathtaking 360° views of the Caribbean Sea and lush jungle. Once at the top, get your adrenaline pumping on one of the Riviera Maya’s tallest waterslides as you spiral down a high-speed chute and make a splash into the refreshing pool below.
Drift along Xel-Há’s mangrove-lined river on a single or double inner tube and enjoy a peaceful ride through nature. The slow-moving current carries you past lush jungle scenery and colorful fish, ending in the main cove. It’s a relaxing, family-friendly way to explore the park’s beauty.
Explore one of Xel-Há’s hidden gems—a mystical cenote tucked inside a cave. Surrounded by natural rock walls and illuminated by beams of sunlight from above, this tranquil spot offers a serene escape. The crystal-clear water and peaceful setting make it a rejuvenating stop on your adventure.
Fuel your adventure with unlimited access to buffet meals, snacks, and drinks at Xel-Há. Choose from several restaurants and enjoy a wide range of dishes for all tastes. Soft drinks, beer, and cocktails are included, and hammocks nearby offer the perfect place to relax after eating.
Upgrade your visit with an unforgettable dolphin interaction, available for an additional fee. Get up close with these intelligent marine animals as you swim, pose for photos, and experience behaviors like kisses or foot pushes. Reservations are required and can be made inside the park.
Take your underwater adventure further with SNUBA, a guided experience that combines snorkeling and scuba diving. Breathe easily through a surface-supplied air hose as you explore deeper waters and encounter colorful marine life. This premium activity requires an extra fee and on-site booking.
Enhance your visit with premium activities like SNUBA, Sea Trek, zip bike, power snorkel, and high-speed Adrenalina boat rides. You can also swim with manatees or enjoy fish therapy. Strollers and wheelchairs are available to rent. All extras must be reserved and paid on-site.
