What you'll do:

You'll board a traditional trajinera and spend five hours on the water at Xoximilco, the most iconic floating party in the Riviera Maya. This is Mexico's answer to a carnival on a boat: every trajinera is lit up, packed with people, and moving to live music while a full open bar and traditional food keep coming around. The departure point is a 15-minute walk from Downtown Tulum Hotel, so you spend zero time in transit and maximum time celebrating.

• Open bar all night: tequila, beer, rum, vodka, aguas frescas, and soft drinks are included from start to finish, not just for the first hour.

• Traditional Mexican food on board: you'll taste a rotating spread of iconic dishes throughout the night, served on the trajinera as you float.

• Live music from start to finish: mariachi, norteño, ranchero, jarana, marimba, and banda de pueblo performers rotate through, so the music never repeats.

• Round-trip transportation included: pickup and drop-off are arranged so you don't have to coordinate logistics or find a late-night ride back.

• Complimentary pregame at Rooftop by Downtown: book through this link and you'll get a complimentary drink at Rooftop by Downtown Tulum (Avenida Tulum 106) before you leave for the departure point.

This is one of the best-known group night-out formats in Mexico, and it earns that reputation. If your group wants a real night, this is it.

Why we love it for your group:

1. Built for groups of any size: whether you're ten people or thirty, the trajinera format keeps everyone together on one boat for the whole night.

2. Perfect for bachelorettes and birthdays: the energy, the open bar, and the live music make it a natural fit for any celebration that deserves a proper night out.

3. No planning required once you book: transportation, food, drinks, and entertainment are all covered, so your group just shows up and the night runs itself.

4. Authentically Mexican, not a tourist imitation: Xoximilco was built on the traditions of Xochimilco and still feels like Mexico threw a party for itself, not for a travel brochure.

5. Exclusive perk for Downtown Tulum Hotel guests: you get a complimentary drink at Rooftop by Downtown before departure, which turns the pregame into part of the experience.
