Watching thru some of your older stuff to get ready for our trip. Wow this was a lot of fun, so much excitement. Definitely will want to do this when we get to Cozumel again!
I recently discovered your channel and highly appreciate the detail you go into in your videos, plus you guys are really fun. Your in-depth reviews and vlogs are outstanding. Keep it up! Did you feel claustrophobic while cave swimming?
Hi Jamie! Thanks so much for watching and for the very kind words, we greatly appreciate it! No, we personally never felt claustrophobic in the caves, but we’re not really prone to claustrophobia ourselves. We could see where it could potentially be intimidating for those who are claustrophobic, but it never got too tight in there, and you could usually swim through with someone on your side. It would probably be more of an issue of being enclosed overall rather than a lack of space, but there are exit points along the way! Please let us know if you have any other questions! :) Happy Travels!
Hi Justine! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! That’s awesome, we hope you have a great time! :) Happy Travels!
Love watching your adventures. My wife and I are extremely excited for our 7 day cruise aboard the Independence of the Seas this November. We splurged on an Owner's Suite so it should be pretty spectacular. Wish you guys were going to be there, seems like it would be fun to hang out with you guys. Have a great day.
Hi Keith! Thank you so much for watching and for the very kind words, we greatly appreciate it! We hope you guys have a fabulous time onboard Independence, and enjoy your suite! Hopefully our paths will cross one day! :) Happy Travels!
Awesome! We would be honored to help in any way we can! Just let us know if there’s anything we can do, or whenever you’re ready to start taking a look at it! :)
This is great. My husband and I are going back for our 2nd time and I came across your video bc I like to re-research if you will. Thanks for reminding me to wear a rash guard or sun shirt bc now I remember how crispy I got!
We just booked a cruise to Cozumel and I am looking at this excursion. I will need to do by myself, did you see any solos and/or would you have felt comfortable doing solo?
Hi Chari Nargi! I didn’t notice if anyone was by themselves but I personally would have felt comfortable going solo. Everything felt safe and comfortable for me. We hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗
Is this one in Cozumel? And on the zip line is it back to back zip lining? We are just wanting to make sure we have enough time to do zip line and cave swimming
Hi Sandy! Yes this is the location in Cozumel! We did both the zip lining and cave swimming so you should be good to do both! 👍 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi! We aren’t sure exactly how deep it was but we definitely could not touch the bottom and stand. But we were all wearing life vests the entire time. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Thanks for the thorough review! Have the prices gone up crazily since you went? I thought I heard you say $150pp, but it's listed at $257 now (with the RC discount!)!! It's WAAAAY cheaper to buy it through the park itself, but I'm nervous about getting back to the ship. Thoughts?
Hi! It is a pretty popular destination so I would assume it would not be difficult getting a cab to go there and back. I would just maybe try contacting ExPlor and asking if there is a way to get cabs to head back to the cruise ship. And I would give yourself plenty of extra time to get back to the ship in case of delays of traffic. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Aleandrea! Thanks for watching! No, when we visited, the zip lines were not a requirement. You should go and have an amazing time! :) Happy Travels!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! :) We did not notice cameras or helmet gear for purchase or rent. We did not have a lot of time to look in the shops because we needed to stay with our tour group, so it is possible they had something like this available and we did not see it.
Hi Justine! Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, it’s been almost a year since we’ve been, so we can’t really remember. We think they had that option, but we can’t say for sure. :) Happy Travels!
Great video. I'm going next month & was wondering did the zip lines feel safe? I'm not scared of heights but I'm a little uneasy with only 2 straps holding you. Just wondering. Thanks!
Hi. We are going in July 🤗 Great video and info. (I am asking at only five minutes into the video but) I would like to wear regular “walking” shoes for walking around and then put my water shoes on for the activities that are “in water” (meaning I’d rather not get my ‘walking’ shoes wet…) Another TH-camr recommended this because she got blisters from walking around in water shoes all day. My question is: if I have a little backpack to carry my shoes to change into, is that feasible. Like, do they ‘make’ you put stuff in lockers? Also, did you have your cell phones with you in the park (I want to take pictures with my cell phone camera, other than the ones you can take at the kiosks) but will it get wet throughout the activities…. What do you recommend? Lastly, did you get mosquito 🦟 bites? 😬 Thx thx thx!!
Hi Ryan! Thanks for watching! It’s another zip line tower, and we believe they said it’s going to be the tallest and longest one yet! :) Happy Travels!
Hi Gwenie! Thanks for watching! Xplor is technically located on the Mexican mainland, in Playa del Carmen/Riviera Maya, south of Cancun. However, if you’re wanting to do the excursion via cruise ship, it’s available from Cozumel! Cozumel itself is actually the island, and you take a ferry boat from the port there to the mainland. Please let us know if you have any other questions! :) Happy Travels!
Hi Maribel! Thanks for watching! It’s been over a year since we went, so we don’t remember exactly, but we believe it was about six hours. We were on a cruise, so we didn’t have the whole day. We hope you have a great time! :) Happy Travels!
I am looking to do this excursion with my kids. The only thing I am concerned with is the cave swim. My kids are not strong swimmers but can tread. It looks like with the life vests that shouldn't be a big issue but what would be your thoughts for non-swimmers attempting to do the long swim? Thanks
Hi 2blessed917! Thanks for watching! We really don’t think you’d have any issues! As you mentioned, the life vests will keep everyone up and out of the water. There are also a few exit points along the way, in case someone was becoming to tired. There’s no current in the water, so you don’t have to worry about that. Granted, we happen to be pretty strong swimmers, but we really don’t think it would be a problem for you! Please let us know if you have any other questions! :) Happy Travels!
Awesom! Thank you so much! One more question.....We are booked for independence of the seas for spring break in April and I’m trying to narrow down excursions. My kids are 11 and 17. They have both zip lined in Hawaii and loved it. On RCs site it says only kids 12 and up can zip line but on Xplors site it says only a minimum weight of 88 lbs. did you see any one checking ages for the zip lines?
Nice, that sounds like a lot of fun! No, we didn’t happen to notice them checking ages, and I’m honestly not even sure how’d they do that considering children don’t typically have identification. We can’t in good conscience say “Yeah, go for it, you’ll be fine!”, but we also can’t say for sure that it would be an issue. We hope it works out for you guys and you all have a great time! :)
Chelsy so proud of you doing all the Ziplines. Next fear to face is driving. That place looked amazing. When you were done swimming are you just walking around wet or did you have access to towels?
Hi Dawn! Thanks for watching! It was an amazing place! Chels did awesome with the zip lines, and to clarify, she’s not afraid of driving! She just doesn’t like doing it, haha! The swimming was the very last part, so when we finished that, we headed back to the lockers where we got our towels and dried off/changed clothes. :) Happy Travels!
Is it possible to get some information from you guys directly? I’ve been loosely planning a cruise for an undetermined date. Just to see what’s available. Well, I was gifted with a surprise cruise. Sadly, the gifter did not use y’all as travel agents. Such a shame. But I myself have a few questions. Is it possible, and if so, how can I reach out to y’all?
Hi Nathan! Thanks for watching! Wow, what an awesome gift to receive! I’d be glad to answer your questions, so feel free to shoot me an email at Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com . I look forward to chatting with you soon! :) Happy Travels!

how deep was the water during the water fall? I don't know how to swim but i'd like to go in the water fall

Do you have to do the zip line part of the park ?
Hey do you have to do the zip line at the park. I am terrified of heights but want to do the other stuff ?
Hi Aleandrea! Thanks for watching!
No, when we visited, the zip lines were not a requirement. You should go and have an amazing time! :)
Happy Travels!
hi, were you wearing waterslippers the whole time (specially for the ziplines, etc.)?
Hi Kathy! Yes! We were wearing water shoes for the entire excursion and definitely recommend doing so! Thanks for watching! 🤗
Awesome thorough video! Can u purchase a helmet video there? Do they rent go pros out? Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! :) We did not notice cameras or helmet gear for purchase or rent. We did not have a lot of time to look in the shops because we needed to stay with our tour group, so it is possible they had something like this available and we did not see it.
I NEED to go after the pandemic! SOO FUNN
Hi Trainsallday! Thanks for watching!
You totally should, it was a blast! :)
Happy Travels!
Cannot recommend this park enough.
OK I have a question when you take the jeep ride is there for Cedars because there will be three of us going?
Hi Justine! Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately, it’s been almost a year since we’ve been, so we can’t really remember. We think they had that option, but we can’t say for sure. :)

Yes, we felt incredibly safe! :)

What are they building on the hilltop in background of the ziplines?
Hi Ryan! Thanks for watching!
It’s another zip line tower, and we believe they said it’s going to be the tallest and longest one yet! :)
Happy Travels!
Hi is the ride is stick shift or automatic
Hi Maria! Thanks for watching!
The vehicle is automatic. :)

YESSSSSS!!!! 🤩🏆🙌
So what island for to look for the excursion

Hi ..I will be going next month to the park!! Just wondering how long did it take to do all you did ? Was it an all day thing?
Hi Maribel! Thanks for watching!
It’s been over a year since we went, so we don’t remember exactly, but we believe it was about six hours. We were on a cruise, so we didn’t have the whole day. We hope you have a great time! :)
