More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Mid-morning heat presses against the jungle canopy as travelers step from the shuttle into Xplor’s open compound — the air full of wet stone, earth, and the faint metallic hum of zip-line pulleys. From the highest platforms the rainforest drops away; below, flooded caverns glint like hidden streets. The park moves at your pace: sprint down a natural rock slide, climb into an amphibious vehicle and then float through 65-million-year-old stalactite rivers.

Bring water shoes
Non-slip water shoes make transitions between zip-line platforms, cave swims, and amphibious vehicles safer and faster.
Start early
Morning slots are cooler and less crowded — knock out zip lines first, then ease into caverns and rafting in the afternoon.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof phone pouch or leave devices in secured lockers to avoid water and sand damage.
Hydrate and refuel
Take advantage of smoothie stations and the buffet; high activity and humidity increase your hydration and calorie needs.
Water shoes
