Visit the MEGA waterslides at Xel Ha
The latest attraction at Xel ha park is open! It is an observation tower with giant waterslides. This scenic lighthouse as it is called, is wrapped in four waterslides that descend 98.5 ft. (30 meters) into a water landing. The waterslides at Xel Ha swirl around the tower and will take less than a half minute to descend.
If Xel Ha was not fun enough, this latest attraction will give you even more to do at this park! See our complete article here on visiting Xel Ha.
This new observation tower is the third one in the Riviera Maya. There is one in Cancun, a scenic tower at Xcaret park and now one in Xel ha. Of course none of the other ones have waterslides, so that makes this one extra special.
Our video introduction to the tower and waterslide
What is the view like at the top of the scenic tower?
The scenic observation deck is 131 feet (40 meters) tall! There are 360 degree views as you walk all the way around. You can look out over all of Xel Ha Park, and up and down the coastline.
On all four sides of the observation deck there are foot prints where you can stand and have an automatic photo taken. These are the same cameras that are all throughout the park where you can get your photos taken and you can buy a photo package from the park.
If you just want to see the incredible view, you can without having to go down the waterslide. You can climb the stairs to the top and return on the stairs. See restrictions below
