    Never heard of them but got curious. Found some Youtube videos that looked interesting but had a lot of different things in the shoot.

    Went to their website and checked prices. They seem pricy and most of their options do not include transporation to the destination. The pricing I saw ranged from about $90 US per person to $159 per person.

    Having never heard of them may not mean anything but it makes me wonder how long they have been around. The things they offer, and this would be my suggestion, are pretty much all offered be a well known, locally owned and operated, business that advertises on this website. I have known the owner for over 10 years and his office employees for 5+. They all speak perfect English and can easily answer any and all concerns and questions. They are Canadian, American and Mexican.

    Suggest you at least click on the yellow and black link below, or just go to www.entertainment-plus.net. They are a known quantity with an excellent long time presence and reputation and are absolutely commited to the best service at a reasonable cost.

    Good luck and have fun on your vacation.

    They just opened recently, I am thinking within the last 6 months. I know a handful of ppl that have gone and said it was well well worth the money and will do it again for sure. If I had money I would have gone, but maybe sometime soon. Do it and report back to us!!!

    CLARIFICATION - I was out and about today and stopped to visit my friends at Entertainment Plus. I asked Trina about XPLORE and got a glowing report.

    IN FACT, you can book your tours from www.entertainment-plus.net and they, E+, provides door to door transportation from and to your hotel. E+ also has Live Chat so you, she will hate me for this, contact them in this manner and ask and questions to clear things up.

    If I got it right, XPLORE is a venture of the Xcaret Xel Ha folks. The menu includes a healthier selection than the "normal" one.

    I am glad that my friend ToriB said that they were new. THat will be my excuse for not knowing about them.

    I strongly recommend that you check out the E+ website and take advantage of their transportation, booking, experience and big time focus on customer service.

    Trina said she and hubby were going to do the tours soon. Maybe he will be sick, God forbid, and I can go in his place.

    TJ...Well if her husband is sick, and she calls you and you are out of town, you can recommend me to go with her!!!! You do have a great excuse for not knowing, and I feel privileged that I knew something you didn't.

    Xplor has been around a little less than a year, part of the Xcaret/XelHa group. Zip lines, amphibious vehicles, underground rivers full of stalactites and stalagmites for swimming and rafting. The zips look great, tallest tower is 131 ft! As TJ mentioned, the food is on the healthier side, they are going for the "natural" and "eco" adventure market. I believe they are closed on Sundays and kids must be over 6 years old. To drive the amphibious vehicles you must be 18 and present a driver's license.

    I haven't been yet, but they sent a PR team to my office for a presentation. Should be visiting soon, will let you know how it goes.

    Is this a better park than X-Caret? We want to be able to do something of this nature, and liked x-caret because of the CNotes. Thank you.

    Old post but I am bumping it.

    We did do this park( and I survived lol) and we have did X-Caret before. They are both soo different. X-Caret being a Nature park with a GREAT night show. ( i'd pay entry for night show alone) XPLORE was a BLAST and really a great place for adventure! You can take it as slow as you like or as fast as you like but they really make you feel comfortable and SAFE. The food that is included at XPLORE is GREAT we loved it and felt it was the best food we had in mexico at a included park ( park that included food). The juice was wonderful and could be found around the park.
