Affiliate Disclosure
Plainly, and before anything else: Xcaret Tours may earn a commission when you book through a link on this site, at no extra cost to you.
What that means in practice
The tours listed here are sold through Viator and GetYourGuide. When you follow a link from one of these pages and go on to book, the platform pays us a share of its own commission. You pay the same fare either way; the price on the booking page is the operator's price, not a marked-up one.
What we are not
We are not a tour operator. We do not run any of these tours, employ any of these guides or hold your booking. Your contract is with the operator, through the platform.
We have no connection with Grupo Xcaret, Xcaret Park, Xel-Há, Xplor, the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia or any tour operator.
How tours get listed
Operators cannot pay for placement, position or a badge. A badge on a card is a measured claim: Top rated only on a tour rated 4.9 or higher, Best seller only on the tour with the most reviews, Best value only on the cheapest. No tour here carries one. Two of the three tests would land on listings whose review counts are still in single figures, and a badge resting on a handful of reviews is not a measurement. A platform's own badge is not shown either.
The featured tours at the top of the homepage are three different purchases at three price points, from three different starting positions: the entry ticket for anyone who can reach km 282, the coach day for anyone in Cancún without a car, and the two-day combination for anyone who wants a second park.
Prices, ratings and how current they are
Prices, star ratings and review counts belong to the operators and were taken from their own listings on 22 September 2026. They move, and the figure at checkout is the one that counts. Every fare is quoted in US dollars because that is the currency the listings were captured in; nothing is converted at an exchange rate. Fares are per person, and are shown truncated to the whole dollar, which is the way the listings themselves display them. Where a detail comes from a listing — a pickup window, a meeting point, an exclusion, a wheelchair line — it belongs to that tour and not to the park.
The facts about the park itself are Grupo Xcaret's own, read from its pages: the opening hours, the three admission types and what each adds, the underground rivers and which of them are open, the snorkel rental and its deposits, free entry for under-fives, and the company history from the 1984 purchase to the 2018 award. The festival dates are the festival's own site. The climate figures are Mexico's national meteorological service, from the Playa del Carmen station.
What we deliberately do not publish
- A price for any Xcaret admission. Grupo Xcaret names every ticket type on its own site and prints a figure for none of them, in any currency. We will not invent one, convert one, or repeat a figure from a site that did.
- "Three underground rivers." Six listings sell three. The operator's own page names three and states that only the Blue and Pre-Hispanic rivers are open to visitors. Where the phrase appears here, it appears alongside that correction.
- "Skip-the-line" entry. One listing's overview promises it. Nothing in that listing's own inclusions or exclusions supports it and Grupo Xcaret sells no such product, so the claim is not relayed.
- Height or age bands for children's tickets. Under-fives go in free, which the operator does publish. It publishes nothing else, so neither do we.
- A price for the buffet, the photographs or the paid activities. None is published. Travellers' own figures are given as travellers' figures, attributed and dated.
- Xenses as part of an Xcaret day. One listing's title, inclusions and itinerary stop are all Xcaret while its overview and highlights describe a different park. The structured fields decide it, and that listing is treated as an Xcaret day.
- Wheelchair access on the cenote day. That listing's structured flags claim it, on a day built around rappelling into a cave and riding a zipline. We claim neither access nor the lack of it.
- A 2027 date for the Travesía Sagrada Maya. The 2026 crossing was suspended and Grupo Xcaret has not said whether it returns.
- The park's size in hectares or acres. The figure that circulates is not on any operator page.
