XEL-HA WATER PARK-MAYAN RIVIERA MEXICO April 20
The mayan Riviera has 3 natural water parks. These are Xcaret near Playa del Carmen, Garrafon in Isla Mujeres, and my favorite Xel-Ha near Tulum. The natural water park of Xel-Ha is located about 15 minutes north of the mayan ruins of Tulum. There is actually a tour that includes a visit to the ruins and the entrance to the park. Do I recommend this tour? NO. The reason is because if you take the tour to the ruins and then you go to the park, you won’t have enough time to enjoy the park. Why do I say this? Because there are many things to do in Xel-Ha. I have been to the park a couple of times and it was a really relaxing and exciting experience.
To enter the park you have 2 options. You can pay about $30 dollars for the entrance which includes only the entrance, or you can pay for the all inclusive deal. This would cost you about $60 dollars and it includes the entrance, snorkeling equipment, food, and drinks. I would really recommend this deal because if you were to buy food and drinks for the day it would be much more expensive. Xel-Ha is a nice place for the entire family. it is a good place for snorkeling with thousands of colorful fish.
There are different things you can do here. You can snorkle, swim with dolphins, eat and drink all you want, and relax on the beach or the hammocks. There is also a tour called “sea treck” which is a walk under water with special equipment. This tour costs about $40 dollars and it’s rally exciting. When you are under water, you are able to see different kind of colorful fish and you are also able to see how the divers feed the sting rays.
Anyway take a look at some of the pictures so you can get an idea of what the place looks like.
