Experience Cancun with us

A Cancun trip promises pristine beaches, inexpensive alcohol, and spectacular wildlife.  And, because of its affordability, Cancun represents a major tourist destination for recent high school grads, honeymooners, spring breakers, and wayward wanderers.  Those who wish to spend their entire Cancun vacation on the beach will fully enjoy their time spent.  But, some of the best things to do in Cancun involve going out on the water, exploring the downtown area, and visiting some historical sites.  If you’re into water sports, Cancun’s Underwater Museum and the Xcarat Ecological Park present enticing options for snorkeling and scuba diving.  For history buffs, a visit to Chichen Itza or the El Rey Archaeological Zone makes for the best Cancun daytrip.  Enjoy the beaches as much as you can during your Cancun tour.  But, keep in mind that branching out and really exploring your surroundings is what to do in Cancun!

  • Montezuma’s Revenge. Avoid drinking the tap water at all costs.While the available water in Cancun might be better than water in other areas of the country, it’s simply not worth the risk to drink it or use it for brushing your teeth.Drink bottled water only for a worry-free trip.

Good to know

Cancun’s weather remains rather inviting throughout the year.  But, for the best weather, you’ll want to arrive between December and April.  You’ll find plenty of sunshine, clear skies, and comfortable evenings.  These months experience less precipitation and humidity, as well.  You can definitely find some great deals during the wet season, which runs from July to October; but, you will also experience some rain and a significant amount of humidity.  If you’re really into wildlife, then the absolute best time to visit Cancun is in the month of May when the whale sharks arrive and the sea turtles make their nests.  And, to avoid crowds, show up on the shores of Cancun during September or October.  Finally, keep in mind that recent high school grads typically arrive in June or July, after the school year ends.  Thousands of teenagers drinking legally for the first time means that things can easily get out of hand.
