Best Excursions in Cancun

Chichen Itza

One of the greatest Mayan cities, Chichen Itza is a popular spot for tourists. Although it is around a two hour drive from Cancun, Chichen Itza is a great destination for a day trip.

Xplor

If you’re an adrenaline junkie, then Xplor is the perfect place for you. You can soar through the air while ziplining or explore underground caves. Tired of swimming in your hotel’s pool?

If you ever need a break, you can relax in a hammock in one of the rest areas. Xplor is near Playa del Carmen and Tulum. 

Isla Mujeres

Although you can book hotels and resorts here, Isla Mujeres is separate from the Hotel Zone and nightlife centers of Cancun. Still, Isla Mujeres’ calm, clear water and white sandy beaches make it worth the visit. You can book boat tours, then just sit back, relax, and enjoy the sun and sea breeze. 

Xcaret Park
