3.2 in 1 Parasail Cancun and Jet ski

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 93 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130

At Playa Tortugas, pair a parasail flight up to 260 feet with a 30-minute jet ski ride across Cancun’s Caribbean waters. Expect a small group, English service, bottled water, and coastal views toward the Hotel Zone and Isla Mujeres. Bring $20 for the dock fee and allow extra time for transfers between activities.

“We are so glad we did this excursion on our trip! It was cheaper and better than what was offered at our resort. The staff was all super friendly and accommodating. The marina was much closer to our hotel than on past excursions, giving us plenty of time to get back and have dinner. I'm not sure about the reviews calling it a scam. They were up front about hotel pick-up time and were available via live chat when the driver was a few minutes behind schedule. This was a very fun trip, and we would gladly book with total snorkel again!”
