Xcaret Park Entry Tickets with Cultural Night Show Included - Underground rivers: the day’s most memorable activity

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,382 reviews · 6 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $113Our pick

Review of Xcaret Park in Playa del Carmen, with underground rivers, wildlife, Mexican culture, and the Espectacular night show.

“It was such an amazing experience! At first, I wondered why the ticket prices were so high, but once I entered the park, I understood, and it was so 1000% worth it! The park is absolutely gorgeous and well-kept, way better than those in the States. I must admit. There were so many exhibits and such a wealth of information on all the wildlife in each exhibit, it was truly an amazing experience. I will definitely be going back the next time I'm in the area and I highly recommend anyone who is an animal lover to check it out, it's truly spectacular. We didn't get to see the Cultural…”

Review of Xcaret Park from Cancun, with transport, underground rivers, wildlife, Mexican culture, and the spectacular evening show.

“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.”

Jolly Roger Pirate Show and Dinner in Cancun

3.Jolly Roger Pirate Show and Dinner in Cancun

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,602 reviews · from $136

Review of Cancun’s Jolly Roger pirate dinner cruise, with shipboard shows, unlimited drinks, fireworks, menu choices, costs, and family tips.

“This was a really fun experience for many reasons, although there are a few things I wish I knew ahead of time. We arrived at the venue a bit before 5:30pm (the scheduled time) and checked in. Check in was fairly easy, however there was a couple ahead of us confused about the dock tax. I was aware of the dock tax because of the document I received when I purchased the experience. However, the document said the tax was $12 and in one spot said $13 in another (Viator should update this). However, at the actual venue the tax ended up being $14. To my understanding, only adults paid…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 9 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $179

See Chichen Itza by day and night, swim at Cenote Hubiku, visit Valladolid, enjoy lunch, and watch the Kukulkan light show from Cancun.

“Having done a similar tour to the Chichen Itza night show in 2017, I was keen to go again, with my new bride, to share what had been an amazing experience. What a disappointment was in store! Although the trip is marketed with an English speaking guide, our guide didn't speak a word of English! The bus driver spoke a little pidgin English and, to be fair to him, he did try to include us, but could barely get past what time to meet back at the bus. As a result the day consisted of us being dropped off at different places and wandering around by ourselves, trying to figure…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 9 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $157

Review of Xcaret Park with transport, underground rivers, wildlife, buffet, and the Espectacular Night Show, plus key timing and value tips.

“Extremely Disappointing and Unprofessional Service I booked an excursion to Xcaret through this company via Viator, and it turned out to be one of the worst travel service experiences I have ever had. • Pickup Issues: The driver arrived over one hour late for the morning pickup, immediately cutting into our day and causing unnecessary stress. • No Driver Contact Information: We were never given any direct contact information for our driver, making it impossible to coordinate when delays occurred. • Return Trip Failure: At the end of the day, we were stranded despite being on time and exactly where we were told to meet. The company ignored all of…”

Cancun: Isla Mujeres Catamaran + Coco Bongo Show

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 8 reviews · 10 hours · from $192

Sail to Isla Mujeres, snorkel at El Meco, enjoy Playa Norte and a sunset catamaran, then attend Coco Bongo with five drinks.

“Eduardo is een hele vriendelijke man die de tour wel draagt. de tour viel ons tegen, overal voor bijbetalen, vervoer, dock fee, golfkar en niet kunnen snorkelen omdat de boot je dropt op de plek waar je snorkelt en vervolgens zelf wegvaart voor 20min, wij voelden ons daar niet comfortabel bij. degene die gingen snorkelen, hebben max 10min in het water gelegen. de rest vd dag niet gesnorkeld. daarnaast het coco bongo ticket, daarvoor moet je savonds om 21.30 bij een office zijn om vervolgens gelijk naar binnen te moeten. terwijl wij later naar de coco bongo wilden, dit kan dus niet! wij vonden het teveel geld voor wat je…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 7 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $169

Review of the Chichen Itza night show, Cenote Hubiku, Valladolid, lunch, tequila tasting, transport, price, and booking risks.

“They cancelled on us 20 minutes before we were supposed to leave. Other tour operators in the area told us this excursion is charging $50usd more than most in the area. Do not recommend booking through trip advisor. We lost out on visiting Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, and cenote hubiku on our last day. There was no time to reschedule anything else so our time was wasted thanks to TripAdvisor. Wait until you get to playa and then book with companies there that have reps all over town. That is what I’m going to do next time. Not have my valuable time wasted by trip advisor.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $90

Coco Bongo Cancun combines nonstop stage shows, dancing, impersonators, and an open bar for a high-energy five-hour night out.

“I had an absolutely amazing time at Coco Bongo Cancun! Even though I didn’t stay until the very end, I thoroughly enjoyed myself from start to finish. The atmosphere is electric—it’s a non-stop party, and even going solo was so much fun. I ended up chatting and connecting with other attendees, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The hosts and servers were wonderful, attentive, and friendly. They even helped me get a better spot so I could enjoy the show to the fullest. And what a show it was! The performances were spectacular, with incredible acts that left me in awe and disbelief. Coco Bongo is a must-visit for…”
