★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,899 reviews · 6 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $167

Spend a full day at Xcaret Park with shared transport from Cancun, swimming in underground rivers, seeing wildlife and Mayan sites, then watching Mexico Espectacular. Choose basic admission or Xcaret Plus for lunch, snorkeling equipment, and the Plus changing area.

“Wish the tour person on the bus could have told us there is beaches and swimming areas for family after the river. She told us to go explore other areas so we changed out to clothes from swimsuit to go checkout other areas. So hot and sticky so checkout areas in normal clothes. Then done in all areas in 3 hours. Ideally we could have stay at the swimming area. Go check out other places in between or toward the afternoon.”

“I had such an amazing experience kayaking through the mangroves! For starters, I ended up being the only one so I got treated to a more personal experience. My guide, Andrés was so knowledgeable. I enjoyed hearing about the wildlife and his experiences kayaking there. We saw a stingray, crabs, starfish, herons, and many fish. I had kayaked before but Andrés gave me helpful tips as it had been a while. Definitely a trip beginners could do as well! He took some great professional photos of me in the kayak, and it was such a beautiful and peaceful way to see the area. I went at sunset and would go…”

Luxury Sunset Sailing Cruise in Cancun with Light Dinner and Open Bar

7.Luxury Sunset Sailing Cruise in Cancun with Light Dinner and Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 82 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $109

Sail from Cancun around sunset on a well-kept catamaran with a bilingual crew, open bar, music, and a light spread of shrimp, meats, cheeses, hummus, and bread. Hotel pickup is included, but confirm your exact pickup time, since 5:30 pm is the sailing start, not the van departure.

“DO NOT BOOK!! Don’t get me wrong the sailing itself was beautiful and the crew was very nice, but the transportation to and from was HORRIBLE! Our driver was 15 min late, we then proceeded to sit on the side of the road for another 30 min waiting for another van to bring us passengers, so we ended up being late and started the excursion late and the crew didn’t make up for the missed time. When we left we were told we would be dropped off at 9pm, but didn’t arrive back until 9:45pm and missed our dinner reservation we planned for. Very unorganized and the transportation ruined the…”

8.Isla Mujeres, Cancún Private Sunset Trip

Spend about five hours on a private Isla Mujeres boat with snorkeling, swimming, snacks, beer, music, and a sunset stop. Crews including Manny, Oscar, Carlos, and Felipe are known for friendly service and flexible plans. The boat is small, so expect a close, casual outing rather than lots of space.

Sail from Punta Sam to Isla Mujeres on a lively trimaran with drinks, live saxophone, bilingual guides, downtown free time, and a swim at Playa Norte.

Guides such as Erica, Olga, Melissa, and Gustavo have earned warm praise for clear, caring explanations.

“Our tour guide, Ricardo, was excellent, very knowledgeable. The experience was authentic, and most importantly, a portion of the proceeds from the tour go towards a school for Mayan children to preserve the Mayan culture and language. Drink lots of water before you go. The sweat lodge - even though it's only 1/2 hour, is pretty warm.”
