X-PLORE and XEL-HA

#1 recommendation for Cancun (and life). Go to X-PLORE and, if you have time, XEL-HA.

X-PLORE is the coolest "theme park" i've ever been too. Basically, it combines all the fun outdoorsy stuff in one place. They have 2 different zipline courses. One has a water slide and the other has a zipline where you go over crocodiles! There are canals through caves with stalagmites and stalactites that you can float through or sit on "boat" and paddle with your hands. They even give you fins for your hands! There's also 4-wheel-drive cars that you can drive on a few courses and through caves. It's not Disneyland, you don't ride on tracks. They just tell you to use your discretion....sweeeet!! This amusement park would definitely be illegal in the US.

XEL-HA is fun, but only if you like water. Yeah, there's unlimited good, margaritas, tequila shots, long islands, etc... but I don't really think drunk snorkeling is very fun. There's some fish to see while snorkeling, a really really long river, some cliffs to jump from, etc. It would have been nicer if it was warmer.

Here are some x-plore and xel-ha highlights:
