Xel-Ha

Carretera Chetumal-Cancún km 240 | Quintana Roo, Tulum 77500, Mexico
Tulum, Mexico

Great fun

Lots of activities available here. I highly recommend getting the all access pass (I’m not sure what that was called exactly, but it allows you to eat free, and rent snorkeling equipment free. Also, if you take a Tulum/Xel-ha tour, I highly recommend getting several bottles of water if you have that pass before heading off to Tulum). Another thing to know is you can only wear biodegradable sunblock there since it is an all natural waterpark. If you can find any here before going down it is bound to be cheaper than in the park!

My husband and I went snorkeling for hours and you can take incredible pictures if you have one of the waterproof cameras. At the end closest to the saltwater the fish are huge and there are tons of them right in front of you (inches away!)

There is something similar to a lazy river where you can just float along on top of an innertube. I must warn you though, that it is definitely not a LAZY river, you have to steer and it is kind of hard to do as well. If I hadn’t been on a tube with my husband I have no idea what I may have run into!

They also have a chance to swim with dolphins but it is recommended to book that in advance.

At various places they have staff set up with cameras to take your picture. Before you leave, they have all the pictures printed and on display for you to buy (or not).
