Full-Day Xel-Ha, River Snorkeling
Xel-Ha park entry for a full day of river snorkeling and lagoon swims, with round-trip transport from Playa del Carmen.
This group holds four options: a half-day swim and snorkel with turtles at Akumal, plus entry tickets to Xplor, Xcaret Plus and Xel-Ha, each with pickup from Playa del Carmen. The Akumal trip runs 4 hours 50 min, while Xel-Ha fills a full day at roughly 12 hours.
Best for confident swimmers and families who like water parks with everything on one ticket. Xcaret Plus and Xel-Ha both fold meals and gear into the price, and the Akumal half-day works when your schedule is tight, though its guided turtle swim pauses for September 2026 under a conservation closure.
4 tours, from $89.59 per person.

Sargassum hits Riviera Maya beaches hardest from May through October, peaking June to August. November to April is the cleaner window, and the parks stay open year round.
Pickups cover the Playa del Carmen hotel zone, Playacar and Quinta Avenida points. Xel-Ha and the Xplor day run long, so confirm your return time with the operator before booking a same-evening dinner.
