A Splash of Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both fun and relaxation for the whole family. When I heard about the Xelha Snorkel Adventure in Solidaridad, I knew it was a must-visit. The promise of unlimited snorkeling, food, and drinks in the heart of the Riviera Maya was too tempting to resist.

Our day began with a smooth ride to the park, arriving just as the gates opened. The excitement was palpable as we stepped into this natural wonderland. The first tip I have for fellow parents is to grab breakfast as soon as you enter. The food is not only free but also delicious and plentiful, setting the perfect tone for a day of adventure.

Floating Through Paradise

With our bellies full, we decided to start our adventure at the top of the river. The choice between snorkeling and floating on inner tubes was a tough one, but we opted for the latter, wanting to take in the serene beauty of the surroundings. The river is long, and as we floated down, we were enveloped by the lush greenery and the vibrant colors of the fish swimming below us.

The paths to various activities are clearly marked, making it easy to navigate even with little ones in tow. As a mom, I appreciated the convenience of having restrooms and other facilities within easy reach. The park’s layout is truly family-friendly, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the day without any stress.

Savoring Every Moment

By the time we reached the end of the river, it was lunchtime, and we were ready for a break. The park offers a variety of dining options, all included in the ticket price, so we indulged in a leisurely meal before heading off to explore more of what Xelha had to offer.

One thing to keep in mind is that the alcoholic drinks, which are top-shelf and start flowing at 10 am, stop being served earlier than you might expect. So, if you’re planning to enjoy a cocktail or two, make sure to keep an eye on the time.

As the day came to a close, we left Xelha with hearts full of joy and minds brimming with memories. This adventure was not just about the activities but also about the time spent together as a family, creating bonds that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a day of fun, relaxation, and natural beauty, Xelha is the place to be.
