Brilliant ! - There is a lot to do and you will most likely want to do some activities twice , unless you're hungover I don't reccomend the lazy river , it takes up around 1.5-2 hours of time if you're tubing and letting the current take you ,it's relaxing but there are much better activities , food and service is excellent , would go again 100%

My favourite place! - My favourite place to go and have a really good time. Food is amazing and free all day (no just one meal), they have 3 or 4 restaurants so you can chose what you like. Is all fun to be there. Price is worth it. I would come every day and never get bored. I highly recommend this place.

Brilliant Day Out! - XelHa pronounced as Shell Ha is a water based eco park so if you or the kids cant or dont want to swim DONT come on this trip - if you like swimming, zip wires, water slides, cliff jumping - great food and great drink (all inclusive once in) then this is the place for you and the family - only 15 minutes from Bahia resort is a bonus if you are staying there.
You dont have to buy any of the picture packages but one tip I will give you is you MUST have a waterproof case for your phone to "really" enjoy what the park has to offer re photo opportunities.

Great mix of true nature experience and safety - Doing activities with children, you always want them to get a true feel of nature, the great outdoors, especially in such an exotic and beautiful environment, yet at the same time ensure the experience is safe ; the staff is very weel trained and this makes you enjoy the different parts of the activity. Many congrats !

Awesome excursion - If you love water go!! This park is worth the trip. We booked the swim with dolphins and it was fantastic.
Lots of walking though. It can take 20+ min to walk from activity to activity. Don’t bother to snorkel the lazy river. It is murky and really not a lot to see. Snorkeling is best done where the flags are in the water. The flags mark the best places to see fish and they are great spots.
Water slide is super fun. We have been on better at Disney but it’s worth the ride.
They include lockers. Bring dry clothes to ride home in. Depending where you stay it can be a really long bus ride in wet suits after a long day.
You need to wear biodegradable sunscreen to help preserve the natural habitat. I wear it anyway so it wasn’t a problem for us. We bought natural bug spray but didn’t even need it. Water shoes are a big help but not absolutely necessary.
Go! You won’t regret it. The reviews that say they ran out of stuff to do must not have read the map. We stayed all day and still couldn’t fit it all in.

Excellent day out - I visited Xelha (pronounced shellha) with my children grandchildren and a group of twenty plus year olds. The ride through the mangroves should have been a calm and peaceful ride,however, my 6yr old granddaughter was soooo scared. Once through into the wider river she was fine. I have no idea why or what she was frightened of.
The river flows very slowly and takes about 11/2 hrs to get through.
Many challenges on the way around with zip wires and rope walks.
The food was very good which is inclusive in the price.
Saw manatees and dolphins They looked healthy but in small environments
The snorkelling wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be.
There is a 20 dollar fine for any equipment you loose and there are many many mask and fins in the river!!!!
The cenote was in poor condition and rather disappointing. If you want to see a good cenote go elsewhere.
I’m sure that at one point it was a geographical wonderland but less so to accommodate the thousands of visitors that visit there now.

What a day! - I went with my daughter & son in law yesterday. We went down the lazy !! river which was quite good to start off with,but half way down there was a terrible current my daughter & son in law managed to paddle their dingy to one of the jettys to get off,but I was stuck on my inflatable paddling against the strong current,fortunately my daughter swam out to help me ashore. Not a lifeguard insight,I suggest that the life jackets have whistles attached & more life guards around. Also it's not all inclusive you have to pay extra for any other activities you do. Wont go again.
