Cancun Things To Do

Isla Mujeres
Lying just off the coast is the sleepy island of Mujeres, a world away from bustling Cancun. A visit will see colourful Caribbean clapboard houses and a popular and much loved turtle sanctuary. A short stroll will discover a myriad of local cantinas, perfect for tequila and spicy lunch or shop for some original and unique Mexican and Guatemalan folk art products. Snorkelling and diving here is among the best in the area and a day in Mujeres is the ideal escape to a wonderful natural setting and utter tranquility.

Ancient Mayan Sites
The region surrounding Cancun was the heartland of early Maya settlements and is where visitors will find the very best examples of this magical ancient civilisation. The world famous Chichen Itza is within easy reach for a day trip or visit the vast ruins of Calakmot, a jungle clad settlement comprising over 6000 structures which was once the largest of all Mayan cities. Inspiring and evocative, a tour of a Mayan site will leave visitors in awe and provide a once in a lifetime experience.

Eco Tours
The ultra modern resort of Cancun is surrounded by a surprising wealth of natural beauty and a short journey will encounter a whole range of habitats, perfect for adventurous nature lovers. Travel through dense jungle and mangrove by speedboat taking in the sights and amazing sounds of exotic wildlife, with sightings of pumas, jaguars and crocodiles a distinct possibility. Canyons, hills and unspoilt coastline offer the most evocative natural vistas and unmissable photo opportunities.

Water Sports
Famed for its wealth of water sports facilities, no holiday in Cancun should miss a day of high octane fun and action on the water. Enjoy the thrills of jet skiing, parasailing and windsurfing or simply take it easy with a day of sailing and deep sea fishing and explore the vivid colours below the surface with a rewarding snorkelling trip.

Nightlife
Famous for its youthful, raucous nightlife, Cancun has more than ample night-time action to satisfy even the most demanding night owl. Trendy beach bars, night clubs and cabaret are found throughout the resort, but also offers a cultured night of ballet and traditional Mexican music and entertainment. An evening in a characterful cantina is a must for its simplicity, unique social atmosphere and great tequila.

Golf
The golf courses of Cancun utilise immensely dramatic natural scenery to offer some of the most picturesque and exciting golf found in Mexico. Several easily accessible golf clubs offer challenges to the very best golfers with lush and colourful scenery to admire. Enjoy exclusive, high class recreational facilities such as spas, health clubs and gourmet restaurants.
