Cancun

Discover Cancun

Cancun is a watersport lover’s paradise, with clear turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs. We recommend taking a catamaran tour to explore the coastline, or snorkeling in the coral reefs. Paddleboarding along the calm waters is also a must, and the stunning beaches are perfect for relaxing after a day of fun.

Best things to do in Cancun

Relax on Cancun’s famous white-sand beaches, like Playa Delfines and Playa Tortugas, or take a stroll through the Hotel Zone for its shops, restaurants, and nightlife. Visit the nearby Mayan ruins of El Rey or take a day trip to the iconic Chichén Itzá or Tulum. Cancun’s underwater museum, MUSA, offers a unique snorkeling or diving experience. Don’t miss a visit to the nearby Isla Mujeres for a more laid-back beach day or a snorkeling tour.

Getting around in Cancun

Cancun is well-served by public buses, especially in the Hotel Zone, but renting a car or using taxis is the easiest way to explore the surrounding areas, such as Playa del Carmen or the cenotes. Many resorts also offer shuttle services.

The best Watersports & boat tours in Cancun

Cancun offers a wide variety of watersports, from snorkeling and diving in the coral reefs to jet skiing and parasailing along the coast. Boat tours to Isla Mujeres or Cozumel are popular, as are sunset cruises and dolphin-watching trips. For something more adventurous, try deep-sea fishing or take a catamaran tour along the Riviera Maya. The region’s cenotes (natural sinkholes) are also great for snorkeling and diving.
