Many companies in town offer jungle tours. They are all basically the same. They provide all equipment needed for a 3-4hr jungle tour and snorkel trip. You will ride a 2-person Aquaray (jet ski type vehicle) through the natural mangroves along the Nichupte Lagoon. You will arrive at the natural reef park after about a 45 minute ride. You will then have time to swim and snorkel in the area before returning. Leave a Comment

After we went jetskiing we took this short tour to the 2nd largest reef in the world (they said the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the only one thats bigger). We go on a short boat ride to this huge glass bottom boat where the tour guide shows you all different kinds of corals and tropical fish. If you're not a scuba diver or a swimmer, this might be your only chance to see a coral reef this close. The tour is about 2 hours. we combined this tour with our jungle jetskiing tour. Great combo with Aquaworld. Leave a Comment

Most rivers (if not all) on the Yucatan peninsula flow underground. At some places you will find openings in the ground from where you see the water below you. These openings are called Cenotes and were used by the Mayas for drinking water and sometimes (e.g. in Chichen Itza) even to sacrifice people in them.
If you have the chance, go swim in one of these cenotes. It is quite an experience if you go on a trip in one of the caves and all of a sudden you see jungle and blue sky above you.
If you look at the picture, you can see small black catfish in the blue water. An hour or so after this picture was taken, we actually swam down there.
TIP: Bring a single use underwatercamera if you go down there, but remember that your pictures will most likely end up rather dark. Leave a Comment Address: Near Akumal

Wet 'n Wild has a lot of things for families to do together. You can relax and drift away on the Lazy River or the Wave Pool, while thrill-seeking teens can experience the Kamikaze. Kids will love additions to the children's playground, which features a sand bucket.
And if the family wants to spend time together, they can enjoy the multi-passenger ride in the Bubba Tub!
Surrounded by wild tropical vegetation, Parque Nizuc is the only water park located within Cancun’s Hotel Zone you are only a short distance from a refreshing experience.
It covers over 18 acres of land and 800 feet of white sand beach areas. I really enjoyed wet & wild, it was a great day out for all ages. Make sure if you go that you wear a decent & secure bikini or swimming costume because you will need it. Hehe

I couldn't really decide where to put this tip, it has pros and cons...
We went to a place that advertised swimming with the magnificent sea turtles. I couldn't wait. When we got there it turned out to be a fenced off area off of a dock where they kept these poor guys. I loved being so close and swimming with them, but I couldn't help but feel bad for them. All these kids jumping all over them and they can't get away:( Leave a Comment

From scuba to snorkeling and sunning to sunfishing, the waters around the Yucatan Peninsula offer a wide variety of options and all of them are good and fun. Address: Any beaches between Cancun & Playa del CarmenDirections: There is many miles of beach and most resorts have watersport items.

We took the jungle tour from the Sunrise Marina in Cancun. My husband, son and I hopped in a small speed boat and toured with a group across the Nichupte Lagoon. We went to the National Park and snorkeled which was truly amazing. The guide went down with us and showed us particular coral and fish. This was probably the best snorkeling I have done because they did get involved and took the time to explain to you what you are seeing. The ride back across the lagoon was amazing, we took the last tour of the day so the sun was setting across the water on our ride back. The most beautiful sight I have ever seen!

We rented sea dos from the front of our hotel. You can rent them for 1/2 hour or more. It was alittle pricey and we rented them for about one hour. I think a 1/2 hour would have been enough. The water was great and seadoing was fun. There is no one watching you so be careful and drive responsibly.

I have been scuba diving in a couple of different places and this was a seven on a scale of 10. The Scuba Cancun people were very professional and took care of one of our newbies. The prices were reasonable for a resort area location.
Saw a lot of sea turtles, but I do not know if that is common in Cancun. Leave a Comment Directions: Scuba Cancun PADI 5 Star Dive Center Kukulcán blvd. Km 5 Hotel Zone, Cancún, MéxicoOther Contact: Phone: +52+(998)+849-7508 / 849-
