Xaret: Don't miss out on experiencing the sacred tropical paradise of Xcaret. This nature park features an exciting array of ecological wonders like tropical reef aquarium, botanical garden, bat cave, and butterfly pavilion. Or, travel back in time with a visit to the archaeological site of 'POLE', an important commercial and ceremonial centre. Or simply lounge by the beach, cool off by swimming in the underground rivers or go scuba diving-just one of the many amenities Xcaret has to offer. .

This is surely one of the sight you should not miss. fascinating scenery and enthralling history. Its normally much hotter here than in Cancun as its inland so be prepared. Take some walking shoes and plenty of bottled water - the site is quite large.

There aren't many places in the world where you can swim with Dolphins, but Cancun has more than one option. Swim with your friends at Xel Ha, Xcaret, the Interactive Aqaurium, Islal Mujeres or at Cozumel. Set out for one of the most pleasurable experience ! 

Tulum is another of the Mayan attractions a short journey from Cancun. A beautiful array of ruins, an absolutely wonderful beach that you should not miss and beautiful views of the turqouise Caribbean. A half day trip at most, this trip is best combined with one of the many other nearby attractions. 

There are quite a few places offering the Jungle Tour. Fancy being James Bond for a few hours ...get your own speedboat and explore the lagoon, mangroves and sea. 

Isla Mujeres is one of the closest attractions to Cancun, its a different pace of life here. Much cheaper than Cancun with beautiful beaches and scenery, this is one of the simplest trips to do independently, Alternatively book a trip to the Garrafon National Park. 

Xel Ha meaning 'where the water is born' is approximately 75 miles south of Cancun and within 8 miles of the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum. A natural aquarium there is lots to see and do, snorkeling is about as safe as it gets and wildlife is abundant. Here you can swim with the dolphins or take a walk along the myriad of paths through the mangrove forests. Feed the fish from the floating bridge to see why this place is raved about. 

The Captain Hook Pirate night adventure is fun for all the family. With silly games open bar and excellent food plus a sailing experience in the quiet bay between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. Hilarious entertainment and free flowing drinks makes Capitan Hook one of the most sought after trips in Cancun.
