Xel Ha
Continuing with their innovativeness, the park has
introduced an interactive swimming program with dolphins who live in
the fabulous natural aquarium. (This activity is not including in
the entrance fee. Demand for this program is very high with limited
capacity. Therefore, we suggest arriving early for making on-site
reservations.) The Xel-Ha journey is probably one of the most
spectacular ones the visitor can take during their stay in Cancun or
the Riviera. The tour "Discover Tulum-Explore Xel-ha" makes for an
ideal day in paradise, where nature, culture and history blend into
a fabulous learning and pleasurable experience. Xel Ha is a great place for first time snorkeling, and people who want relax and enjoy nature. Inner tubes and life vests are free, and you can rent snorkel gear or bring your own. The lagoon is calm, even on windy days, so snorkeling is easy. The coral is mostly dead, but Xel Ha feeds the fish so there are plenty to see. For a peso, you can feed the fish too. This works well if some of your group gets in the water while one person throws food at them. This way you get to see a swarm of fish all at once. For an extra fee you can swim with the trained dolphins.
There is a river that starts in a spring in the mangroves. It is a relaxing float down on inner tubes, and you can dump all your belongings in the free locked bags provided at the river entrance. On the river you can climb and jump off cliffs or snorkel, but you might want to float and save your energy. The river ends at one side of the lagoon and you have to swim across the whole lagoon to get back to the beach and restaurants. Xel Ha has a few fresh water cenotes in the park, and hidden beaches with hammocks for relaxing. On the far side of the lagoon, near the bridge, check out the Mayan cave.
