Nos vamos a @xoximilcocancun en mi caso tomé el transporte desde Playa del Carmen pero te quedará más cerca si estás alojado en Cancún. Es una de las fiestas más divertidas de la zona con barra libre ilimitada y diversos espectáculos. #mundukos #travelreel #xoximilco #xoximilcocancun #xcaret #xcaretpark

If you’re looking for a party near Cancun for the whole family, this is the place. I have personally been to both the real and xcaret Xoximilco and love both but this one takes the cake. From the start you are met with amazing service from the xcaret team, comadre y compadre. The gift shop has many things to buy as keepsakes and when you get on the boat you take multiple pictures and are greeted by a plate full of Mexican appetizers, things like guacamole, beans, pico de gallon, queso Oaxaca, and more along side corn chips and chicharrón. Drinks are readily available and have things like soda, beer, and palomas. Then once you get going the party begins, tequila if you want but are respected if you don’t drink. You stop at multiple places to dance to different types of mexican music. After some time you get to the stop where they bring you your food, a plate full of mexican cuisine, such as mole, arroz, cochinita Pibil, and more. You eat and continue the party stopping at other boats to continue to listen and dance to more music. One you stop and get off of the boat for a break to use the restroom and go buy something at the store(where they still have live music) you get back on the boat where dessert is served along side cafe de olla and regular coffee. Many mexican candies and flan. Then after a few more stops to listen to music your boat ride comes to an end. We had an amazing time and it was far beyond our expectations. We thought it was maybe 2 hour ride but we got there at 7pm and didn’t leave until 12am. We had a blast and I would recommend it to anyone.

Ohh my goodness. If you are thinking about visiting this place stop thinking about it and buy the tickets now. This was a super fun and informative trip. You will not regret it. I was here on a weekend and wanted to take advantage of the decorated boats with the retractable tops and you can't forget the lights. Wow. What an experience. Fist you get your tickets for the right boat. You go and board your boat and get ready for the music, food and Tequila. Omg. Please try everything they serve and give you. Do not hold back based on looks and flavor just chew and drink. The key point is to go with a mindset of "we having fun today!!!!" Out of my visits and activities this was the most fun of them all because you count on the team in your boat and the Tequila filling that top spot of why you should be friendly to your fellow drinkers 😉. Do not miss the opportunity to try the foods, snacks and desert they offer. If you don't drink you can enjoy the rest of the team having fun without any inhibitions. Please enjoy the ride, drink and have all the fun you can. My group had a blast. Like you would not expect or belive. Our bus ride back to the hotel was unforgettable. That was a 45 minute ride of pure singing, dancing and wanting more.. we met up later to finish the night. A+ experience

I will start by saying we all had a great time at Xixomilco! I wanted a good cultural experience for my boys, ages 15 and 9. This is their first time in Mexico and this was a great fit for that. Just a couple of things that would have changed this from a 3 star to a 5 star experience. First, we are native English speakers and one of the things I looked for in reviews were was this appropriate for mainly English speakers. I realize we are guests here and so not every activity is a good fit for us. Based on the reviews I was under the impression that we would be put on a English or a Spanish boat. We were placed on a boat with 3 other native English speakers. Our host did an amazing job trying to be bilingual with every thing but it was very hard to do and sometimes we just kind of got left out at our end of the boat. Everyone from our pilot, to the host along with all of the passengers were fantastic. We just got a little lost sometimes trying to figure things out. The only other thing that I felt was a downfall, in my situation is the pricing for minors. I thought my ticket was priced very fair for the extras that come with being an adult. I did think that for the kids it's was a little expensive. Couples or all adults, well worth the price! For the record my kids both gave this 5 stars. Even though they were the only kids on the boat they loved it!

Not my favorite family experience but if you're looking for a high-energy party atmosphere with lots of color, music and want to get smashed, then this tour might be right for you. The boats were cramped and bit over-crowded to the point where it was difficult to reach appetizers and drinks across the plates of strangers. While they tried to provide a representative example of food from across Mexico, the food was just OK and really not all that special. I was disappointed that my kids got chicken nuggets and baked fries. The music was, however, FANTASTIC! The real focus of this 3-hour tour is, to put it plainly, to get you drunk on tequila and Corona beer. There were several drinking games and the tour guides are very insistent (aggresive) about doing many shots. Until last night, I've never been to a tourist attraction where there were wheelchairs lined up and medical staff present to handle the dozens of intoxicated guests who could no longer walk and were throwing up all along the walkways back to transportation hub. Not a good look or family-friendly for a group of associated parks (Xcaret, Xel-Ha, Xplor, Xenses, etc.) that we absolutely love. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Other than the pole barges, this attraction is nothing like the real Xochimilco near Mexico City upon which it is based.

This is a great place to let loose and party with either a large group of friends or to meet new people and have a blast. Be forewarned this is not ideal for small children or slightly older children who don’t drink. There is plenty of alcohol to drink, but be considerate of others for your bus ride back and consume as much as you can handle. There was at least one on our bus who got really sick and it was very close to us. We were on lindo and Orlando was our guide, Orlando we had a blast and once we finally got comfortable with each other it was even more fun! For that I thank you! We played pass the tequila, where if you are the last person holding it you have to take a 10 second shot of tequila. My boyfriend got stuck with the shot and took it like a champ. There wasn’t many bugs, but they do have bug spray if you need it. You go around getting a taste of different Mexican music styles durning dinner. (If you are a slightly picky eater eat before you go) Once dinner is over you get a break for the staff to clean the tables and you get a potty break, after the break that’s when the party happens! You go back and visit the same bands as before dinner, but you get to stay much longer so you can dance and have fun! If you are looking to party come here!
