Cancun vacations offer not only all the water activities of a tropical, white sand beach, but many additional kinds of activities as well. Although known for its many nightclubs and bars, Cancun also has many activities that appeal to families as well. From exploring ancient Mayan ruins to experiencing the jungle to getting involved in a pirate swordfight, there are plenty of activities to augment all the water sports like scuba diving and snorkeling.
Water Activities
Probably the first thing that people are looking for when they start planning Cancun vacations is fun in the sun of a tropical setting. That is certainly what they will get in Cancun. Most likely, warm tropical water and a white sandy beach will be just steps away from your hotel room if you decided on a Cancun vacation. You can soak in the sun, feel all the tension of contemporary life slip away, and swim in the balmy water.
One of the most rewarding experiences people report on is swimming with the dolphins. This experience can take place in a dolphinarium, which is a reproduction of a natural setting for the dolphins. There are 9 locations for dolphin swims with 20 different swim options from a 30-minute swim to a trainer for a day option. You can experience a dolphin pulling you out of the water or jumping over your head. Everyone wears a life jacket, so you don’t have to be a great swimmer.
Snorkeling tours to some great reefs allow you to see all kinds of exotic sea life. Water skiing, scuba diving, and parasailing, as well as fishing and boating excursions are available.
Mayan Tours
Cancun vacations are not complete is a visit to a Mayan ruin is not included. Chicken Itza is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was built around 600AD and has withstood hurricane damages for almost 1,500 years. Tourist damage has caused the four sets of steps leading to the throne room on top of the pyramid to be closed, but other parts of the ruins can be explored, including the Temple of the Warriors and the Cenote of Sacrifice. Several other Mayan sites are also in the Cancun vacation area, including Ecaret, Tulun, and Xel Ha.
Captain Hook
For great entertainment, food and drinks a night on the Caribbean on a pirate ship is a memorable experience. Board one of three 18th century Spanish pirate ships with a crew of authentic looking pirates and expect fun. Don’t panic when the three ships meet and a sword fight starts, with the pirates swinging back and forth between the ships. Plenty of partying and dancing takes place on board the pirate ships.
There are so many things to experience on a Cancun vacation that you won’t be able to get everything in on one trip. Chances are, you will want to go back several more times.
