Xcaret tours are popular sightseeing trips for those visiting the Mexican resort island of Cancun. Xcaret is one of Cancun's largest eco-parks, a place where the natural beauty of the island is preserved for visitors to enjoy. All of Xcaret's activities are centered around enjoying the complex and fascinating ecosystem of the Yucatan. There are many agencies online and on Cancun itself that offer guided tours of Xcaret; these tours can be reserved by themselves or as part of a vacation package.
More About Xcaret Tours
Xcaret was created around the theory of environmental sustainability. This means that the park has been designed to integrate with and support its natural surroundings. Xcaret aims to educate its visitors about nature and their place in it; most of the activities at Xcaret focus on the natural bounty of the Yucatan, allowing visitors to understand and enjoy the peninsula's ecosystem.
Xcaret tours allow you to take advantage of all of the activities offered by the park, or just the ones that interest you. Some tours include all of the equipment and training you need to snorkel, dive the underground rivers, go horseback riding, or take an ultralight tour of the park. Others are less specialized, granting you admission to general attractions like the aquarium, Mayan ruins, and butterfly farm and allowing you to choose to participate in activities like diving if you choose.
While admission to Xcaret is somewhat expensive, $49 USD for adult admission and $25 USD for children under five, many consider the price well worth it. Agencies that offer Xcaret tours may charge more than the regular admission fee, but these tours usually come with transportation from your hotel, a free meal, and extras like snorkeling equipment. Different tour companies offer different options; it's a good idea to look around and research in order to find the best tour for you.
