Need options for your massi who hates being in the sun? Or what about the small toddlers who love to run around? Cancun has options for almost everyone. Wedding planning is already stressful; so sit back and relax with our Top 5 Activities to do in Cancun, Mexico.
1. Riviera Maya Cenotes
“A must-see attraction, located about 30 minutes southwest of the iconic
Moon Palace Cancun, is Boca del Puma Eco Park,” says Jack Benoff of
Vacationeeze, an experienced Caribbean travel agent. It’s no wonder he highly recommends visiting a cenote park for a fun day out. Cenotes (pronounced say-NO-tay) are known as “swimming holes” formed by rainwater in the Riviera Maya that sinks through abundant but porous limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula. The Boca del Puma Eco Park offers swimming, scuba diving, and zip lining of the scenic cenote. You don’t want to miss out on this popular activity!
2. Boat Cruising with the FamilyNeed to break the ice for new families becoming one? Or want to do something fun that incorporates the whole wedding party? Why not try a day cruise with Dancer Cruise. The all-day cruise includes live entertainment, snorkeling, food and drinks, and exploring the Isla Mujeres island (where the first Spanish explorers
landed 500 years ago) at your leisure. With drinks flowing and music playing, what do you have to lose? Rather not spend the whole day on a boat? Try a private sunset cruise instead. According to
Mango Weddings & Events, wedding planners who specialize in destination weddings, guest highly recommend private sunset boat tours. “It is one of the most popular attractions and guests love it.” With plenty of options in Cancun, either boat trip is worth it.
3. Tour the Mayan Ruins

4. Night Time Indulgence
