Cancun Holidays

This touristic gem on the Mexican Caribbean provides refuge, year in year out, to travellers from the Northern Hemisphere looking to escape the bite of winter. Between December and April its beaches are thronged by sun-worshipping Americans and Europeans enjoying the warm tropical weather. Consider Cancun holidays for unforgettable time of life.

But apart from lounging or promenading along the inviting coastline, Cancun has plenty of outdoor activities lined up for tourists as well as astounding historical and cultural sites depicting its Mayan heritage. It is therefore wise to do some research and plan a solid itinerary to make the most of your time in this adorable resort before touching down at the Cancun International Airport.

Cancun Holidays – Sightseeing and activities

You can make your tour of Cancun in a number of ways, each having its own merits. If you choose to drive yourself, there are many car rental firms stationed right at the airport. A cheaper way is to take the public bus, which though is not the most comfortable experience, will give you a chance to interact with locals and get directions from them.

There are also taxis, though these might be a bit expensive depending on where you catch them from. Whichever means you find the most convenient, chances are your first stop will be the fine white sands and turquoise waters of Cancun’s beaches. The north-western part of this locale has its best beaches which are safe for swimming. These include Playa Las Perlas, Playa Juventud, Playa Linda and Playa Caracol. However, the south also has a few nice beaches such as Playa Delfines and Playa Ballenas. It’s worth noting that not all beaches are accessible publicly; you may have to go through a hotel lobby to get to a number of them. There are also clear colour coded signs depicting how safe a beach is, so read them carefully.

While you spread yourself underneath a parasol and sip a cocktail from a nearby restaurant, your kids can splash about in the clear, shallow waters or fly colourful kites sold right there at the beach.

Given the clarity of the waters that surround Cancun and the fact that it has the world’s second largest barrier reef, going scuba diving or snorkelling should be automatic. Other water sports on offer include sport fishing, parasailing and jet skiing. There are few places in the world where you will be able to swim with dolphins so why not take advantage of your Cancun holiday to do so at Wet ‘n’ Wild? You can also get the same experience from a visit to Delphinus Dreams or Dolphin Discovery.

Having worked so hard throughout the year, you shouldn’t hesitate to seek total relaxation and rejuvenation at one of Cancun’s 30-plus spas. Get the kinks kneaded out of your back and your mind transported to a peaceful place as you enjoy the vast array of treatments on offer.

Lovers of golf, or those who simply want to try it out, are welcome to enjoy its championship-standard courses at the Moon Spa and Golf Club or Riviera Cancun Golf and Spa.
