What do I do in Cancun for fun? And do I pre-book the adventures from here(Canada)or when I'm there?

We booked XPlor which was awesome and Xel-Ha. We booked online while in Mexico but had we known better we would have booked more than 15 days in advance to receive a better price. Go directly through Xplor’s website and the more you book the cheaper it is.

And plan on getting there early as there is lots to do! Also, the lunch was way better than we expected!

X-Plor or Xel-Ha
Which one would you choose? I’m going to do some local snorkeling as well.

Jon we didn’t do Xel-ha so can’t comment on that. I think it may be more family oriented and we are a couple but I am not sure.

That’s great! I can’t imagine either being a bad experience.

Xelha is amazing. Totally worth the day.
Look up cancun discount tours . Cheaper to buy ahead of time.
Selvactica is a great zip line park as well!!

Anne Awesome! I think you’ve commented on my previous post about Mexico! Thanks again for the help! Less than 2 weeks away!

If you like ruins, go to Chichen Itza and Coba. Advise renting a car and driving there, must more pleasant experience than taking the bus, quicker and even cheaper. Can go to the same scenic spots the tour bus takes you, such as a senote on the way, stop off at some village and eat and drink coconut water. No need to take a tour if you want to swim with turtles, just go to beach at Tulum and they are there in the wild.

Dos Ojos cenote. Snorkeling in Tulum and Akumal. A day hanging at La Burnaby Vida beachfront bar/restaurant. Coba ruins. Chichen Itza. Vallodolid city. Rent a car. Super easy to get around. No tours needed.

How much is a car rental and what’s your top 3 on this awesome list??

Jon I don't remember the exact price... but about $200 ish for a week. Was waaaaay worth not taking a shuttle and having the freedom to go anywhere. Top 3 Oy!
1) La Buena Vida. Great snorkeling right in front of the bar. Tables in the sand, hammocks, treehouse tables and swings!
2) Coba ruins. Rent a bicycle and wander. HUGE site. One of the only places you can actually climb the ruins. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
3) Vallodolid city. Old colonial city with a gorgeous city square.
We did manage to fit in Coba, Chichen Itza and Valladolid in the same day

Heather Holy crap that’s a big day! Okay, I think I’ll rent a car and bring my own snorkelling gear! Thanks!!

Following, I'm also going in the third week of March with my best friend. Heather, may I ask if you rent the car since airport? How was the line up and parking easy to find anywhere you go?

Meme Thet we rented at the airport, but booked ahead of time. There is a bit of a game with insurance. Apparently, you can find some online ahead too. No lineups, and no issues with parking. Just watch for signs for huge "speed humps" everywhere. We were so happy with our choice to rent a car

Heather Thank you so much!
