Catamaran Cancun Isla Mujeres

What are the most popular things to do in do in Cancun? Well, this is list of the exciting possibilities with something to offer any taste and personality. I consider myself to be fairly well rounded, but I like a bit of excitement on land or sea and the list of things to do in Cancun never leaves me feeling bored.

Eating

Ok, so maybe food isn't the most obvious place to start but that is exactly why I start there. There are so many places to eat, drink and snack that you could spend your whole trip eating and still miss out on some of the greatest taste sensations Cancun has to offer.

One tip I have is to select a couple of eateries from several different cuisines and price levels. Limiting yourself to American, Mediterranean, or even authentic local foods is a sure fire way to cheat your taste buds. In the same vein, dine in restaurants of all price ranges. I was surprised to learn that a five star establishment may not always be my favorite experience, but it is still worth the price of the entrée.

Sea Offerings

Ok, so this is where the 'things to do in Cancun' list gets really prolific. You can snorkel, scuba dive, sail the waters in a boat, yacht, jet ski or private catamaran isla mujeres even a submarine, and of course there are always the beach side recreational activities such as surfing, boogie and body boarding as well as parasailing and oceanfront horseback rides.

The list goes on, but I will stop there because as great as all these activities are it is only a one sided offering. The Lagoon side of Cancun offers many of these same activities but being in the waters of a sheltered mangrove forest translates them into a completely different experience. Widening the circle of water recreation even farther there are water filled caves for diving and cenotes filled with green-turquoise waters where unique species of fishes live.

Jungle outings

For the truly adventurous there are many jungle excursions including Mayan ruins galore and the new adventure park Xplor Cancun that encourages the Tarzan in all of us to swing through the jungle tops on zip lines, drive on 4x4 trails and even head into the water to float down a subterranean river as stalagmites rise up and tower over head.

Fun for the City dweller

If being outside all day sounds more like a hassle than a hurrah there is so much to do in Cancun proper that you never need leave the Hotel zone and could still have a full and rich vacation.

The night club selection is unreal. If you want a slammin' club with the loudest and latest music you are in luck. Cancun hosts several hotspots enjoyed by the glitterati as well as the everyday vacationer.

Some prefer a quieter night life. Cancun has quiet little hide a ways; from secluded cafes and bars to smoke bars and ocean front clubs that will fill your need for a quiet night on the town. In addition to famous night clubs Cancun boasts some of the finest shopping facilities in all of Mexico.

When you plan a trip to Cancun the real question is whether you will be able to find enough things to do in Cancun but trying to decide how much you can include.
