You will have to take the ferry from Cozumel to Playa Del Carmen, which is 45 minutes to an hour depending on the currents and tide. From Playa Del Carmen to Xplor is about an hour. You may want to do a google search for hours of operation and more specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHouseFootball Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 How is Xplor? I read the RC description and also checked out their website and it looks absolutely phenomenal. But it is quite expensive. For those who have done the RC excursion did you feel it was a good value? Did you get to see/do a majority of the activities?

Did you get to see/do a majority of the activities? It was fantastic and worth every penny!! So when we got off the ship we had to get on a ferry to Playa del Carmen. If you get the least bit sea sick, take something before you get on!! So many people (including my hubby) lost or almost tossed their cookies on the way over! The staff even has little green barf bags in their pockets and were handing them out like candy lol Then you meet up with your group and take a 15 min walk to where the buses are lined up and another 15 min ride to the park. We got off the boat at 8:30am and didn't walk into the park until 10:30am, but we got to stay until 4pm (ship time) and back on a ferry by 5pm, at the port by 5:45 and back on board by 6:15, just in time for 6:30 sail away So the tour guides were great and they have a recommended order that you do the activities, but you are free to go on your own as long as you are back on the bus on time. Definitely go with them to the ziplines first because you get to cut most of the line. There are 2 sets of lines and they will take you to both if you want. 1 set was enough for us and took a good hour to get through. The towers are VERY tall so there's a lot of walking uphill and my lazy 14 year old couldn't cut it anymore lol so she didn't want to do the second line, but there was time. So we wandered from the group and went to the amphibious cars which was a blast! My husband thought he was a race car driver lol. Other than wearing your helmet and seat belt there are no restrictions. You drive through water, bridges and caves! We did 2 tracks which took about 20-25min each. Then we went to go eat and when I say that was the best food we had all trip I mean it!! Huge selection, fresh, tasty! Plus they have another bar set for just fresh juices and smoothies. By the time we finished eating, we saw the rest of our group walk in. We then went to do the cave swimming-do the long track which takes about 30 minutes to swim through-its worth it! We skipped the rafting because we I've heard from others including our tour guides that its very physically difficult to do and if the person in front of you doesn't know what they are doing, you're stuck and can't move around them. We had just enough time to lay out in some hammocks for a few minutes, get some smoothies and mozy on over to the lockers to clean up and change before having to be back with the group. I think if we had stayed with them, we would have gotten in 2 ziplines, 1 car, and the short cave swim only. We had so much fun were already talking about bringing other family members back with us. Enjoy! WackyCactus, Christie and RestingBird 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHouseFootball Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thank you so much for the great information! All the activates are what my wife and I enjoy but I wasn't going to sign up if you didn't get a good value on it. Sounds like it is a must do the next time we are in Cozumel!
