Our video of Xavage Park
Like everything on our website, we go to experience it so we can tell you just what it is like. Here is a brief video we made for you of the Xavage experience.
What activities are there to do?
Do you like to be challenged? Want some extreme activities to do while on vacation? Want to get your adrenaline pumping? Well, Xavage has it for you! Here are the activities you can partake in. Most of these are open all day but some have certain open hours, so you need to plan your day accordingly.
Kayaking
Kayak though some of the calm canals while observing nature.
Obstacle courses
Challenge yourself to one of 4 levels of courses. You will have a harness and security line on the whole time. This activity takes about one hour to 90 minutes to finish.
Kids play area (ages 5-12)
This is a wading pool area with slides and fun climbing activities for young kids.
Flying on a zip line
There are two tracks that you can take a short flight on. They have special body harnesses that allow you to lay face down and fly through the air. This is not super-fast or scary but does give you a different type of zip lining experience.
Power boat ride
Zoom down some of the canals on the property. You will experience speeds up to 45 Mph (72 Kph). Sometimes doing a 360 turn in the water. These boats are so powerful you will feel like you are flying.
White water rafting
Experience the only place in the entire peninsula you can go rafting. This unique manmade course will give you a taste of what it is like to go white water rafting. Each raft has an experienced captain that will give you instructions before going down the route. To start with, you will go up a conveyor belt and start your river adventure. During the trip you will go over two drops. One is a class 2 of 1 meter and a class 2 of 2 meters.
Overall, this is a fun activity that can get your adrenaline pumping a little. At the end you can float in the river and feel the current take you along while heading back to the dock.
Extreme Jeeps
If you have ever wanted to drive over cars and challenge your driving skills on an extreme driving course, here is your chance! These specially designed vehicles allow you to take on some tough driving. You can drive solo or with a copilot. This experience it like a Mad Max movie or a Humvee military expedition.

How do you get to Xavage Park?
Xavage Park is between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen on the 307 Highway. It is also the same location of Xoximilco Park. From many of the hotels in the Hotel Zone of Cancun this is about a 20–30-minute drive. From Playa Del Carmen it is about a 46-minute drive.
Because public transportation is very hard to use to get to Xavage, we recommend wither driving yourself or booking the transportation of the park. Note: You can only book transportation when your purchase your tickets.

What to bring and what to wear to the park
Here is a big tip for you! Wear aqua socks or water shoes that wrap around your feet. You will be able to use these on all activities without changing shoes. Flip flops are not allowed on all activities since they can fall off. Sneakers can be used, but they will get wet. They do sell water shoes in the gift shops at Xavage.
For clothes, it is best to have something that can get wet and also a change of clothes. Also bring a towel since these are not provided.
Lockers are free of charge. You will get a special wristband with key holder for your locker key.
Sunscreen and bug spray must be biodegradable. If you only have chemical sunscreen, you can trade it in for biodegradable when you arrive. The reason for biodegradable is to keep the environment clean of harmful chemicals.
