It would only add for foreign audiences more explanation of the symbolism of the early scenes of the night show - Excellent buffet food. Excellent service. Immediate attention. Excellent facilities. Excellent service. High qualification of aquarium staff.

One more dream realized - Excellent experience is worth going to. Undoubtedly the nightly show tells the variety of cultural that represents as Mexicans.

A Magical Experience at Xcaret! - I had an absolutely unforgettable time at Xcaret! The views throughout the park were simply breathtaking — from lush jungle landscapes to stunning ocean vistas, every corner felt like a postcard. One of the highlights for me was swimming in the natural rivers. Gliding through the crystal-clear waters surrounded by caves and tropical scenery was both relaxing and exhilarating. The park is beautifully maintained, and the blend of nature, culture, and adventure is truly unique. I would highly recommend Xcaret to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in Mexico! Also, get the photo package! It's worth it!

Brilliant day, so much to see and do, great show at the end - We had a truly fantastic time - highly recommend spending a day here! I loved the fact that pick-ups/drop-offs were extremely efficient - we got to Xcaret a few minutes before the opening time, so we didn't miss a single minute - and trust me, you need all the time you can get. ADVICE: do the dry white route first, then as many of the animals as possible, then go to the lazy rivers before changing back into normal clothes for the evening show. It's a much better use of your time. We didn't pay for the plus ticket, just brought a bunch of snacks and drinks with us, dropped our bag the lockers at the entry (which close by 3/4pm I believe), so it was easy to get back to for little snack breaks, and then had our bags carried towards the end of the river by the free service they provide after that. The show was incredible, the staff was very kind, the whole place was pristine, and the animals were obviously very well taken care of. A truly magical day! We managed to see it all in one day, but we are fast walkers and were on a mission to do all the paths - totally doable if you have a plan!

Xcaret Mexico Snorkeling Tour/Park Review - We went on the snorkeling tour at Xcaret on September 24, 2025. Oswaldo was incredible — he made the experience unforgettable. He took my phone underwater and captured amazing footage. He also snapped photos of my brother and me, guided us with enthusiasm, played great music during the boat ride, and gave informative commentary. He was a fantastic entertainer and guide. Billy saw how much fun I was having and, without me asking, handed me one of the snorkeling masks to keep and take home. That was such a thoughtful gesture and I really appreciated it. Both Oswaldo and Billy deserve serious recognition and a raise — they both went above and beyond. The lady taking photos underwater did an outstanding job too. She kept her distance which allowed us to enjoy ourselves and her to still do her job. I didn’t even notice she was there. The rest of the park was amazing and so much fun! The Mexican food buffet was outstanding. Our transportation was seamless and the guy on the bus advising us how to navigate the park was incredibly helpful. That dude knows what he’s talking about!

Could use some improvement - The bus pickup in the morning was terrible. We waited for over 30 minutes at one stop because the guests were not ready. The park activities were ok. We bought the special dinner package but were disappointed that the menu had not changed since our last visit in 2021.

Excellent Night Show, but I do not recommend dolphin activity - I enjoyed the activity of the River, likewise lunch at Michoacán Restaurant was excellent, however the juices (or fruit waters as they call them) are very sweet. The evening show is spectacular 5/5. My dissatisfaction is with the Dolphin Activity, because I chose the 20min one (Harmony) and even though I had bought the photo pass, after I paid for the activity, the cashier told me that the photos were not included. How? That's right, the photo pass includes all the photos in the park except these. In the activity as such, I entered a group of 6 people and interacted very little with the dolphins. Half the time you go to take the pictures with each of the people and then sell them to them at a fairly high cost. I felt used, because I paid to have some pictures taken with the dolphins and then I had to pay $$$ again to have them. Obviously I didn’t pay them, I left the activity very angry, because the activity itself is already expensive ($110 per person, and at a discount I paid $90), that price should include the photos. I asked the cost of a photo and they told me q$50 dollars!!! On the other hand, I recommend you to make the most of one of the additional activities, or else you do not have time to tour the park. I did the Sea Trek and Dolphins. And I could hardly do anything else.

Disappointing - I always thought I would have a great day. When I booked the tickets, however, I realized that we would lose at least 2 hours since the bus would come at 9 am and the park opened at 8:30. When we got there, it was already 10 am. We went to book a time for the 2 activities we booked in advance and there was no option to choose a time since they were all full. We forced ourselves to take the times he gave us there and told us that we had time to do the Underground rivers. We ended up only having time to do only the one because we already had to go to the one of the activities we booked. When we finished, we only had an hour and a half for the next one so we didn't have time to do anything else. We went to see the mayan village and quickly returned to the activity . When we finished it was already 4. By the time we saw the Butterfly Pavilion, the Coral Reef Aquarium and the Aviary which in my opinion were not worth it because apart from a beautiful landscape there are not many animals to see we had missed almost all the shows. Where I thought we would have an amazing day, we ended up exhausted, with a lot of nerves and not having seen and done the half of the free activities
