Other adventures |
| These may vary a little according to the needs and interests of the group, and weather conditions. |
1.
Xcaret There is a wide variety of things to do at Xcaret, though many people spend their day relaxing on the beach in the sunchairs, and swimming in the protected lagoon. There is an underground river you can swim, a butterfly pavillion, a spectacular night show, a turtle aquarium, and many more wildlife and fauna displays. We found this to be a beautiful spot, and a whole day experience. |
2.
Tulum Ruins A must-see while you are here! It is very close to the townsite of Tulum, with wonderful ruins of an ancient 3-walled city high on a bluff. It is easy walking, and a must for picture taking. You do need to take your own refreshments with you, as none are available within the park itself. There is a lovely beach for sunbathing and swimming. This can be a one to two hour activity, or you can relax and spend the day. |
3.
Shop Cozumel We will drive to Playa del Carmen, park the car, and be a foot passenger on the ferry over to Cozumel. The ferries leave regularly from the dock. This is a fun activity, very popular with the cruiseboat crowd. There is a very quaint townsite with shopping alongside the ocean walkway. It is a fun day with lots of shops, and restaurants. |
4.
The Ruins at Chichen Itza These are 3-4 hours away, well worth seeing, but not necessarily a regular part of our activities. |
5.
Xel-Ha  This is a wonderfully developed lagoon with a freshwater river flowing into the salt water. It offers great snorkelling, Eco Tours, dining, sunbathing, river floating, exploring cenotes, dolphin shows, a floating bridge, and much more. Plan on spending most of the day to enjoy and explore. Truly a wonderful adventure, well with it. |
6.
Eco- Tours There are Eco Tours available in the Sian Ka'an Biopreserve where the fishing takes place, in the Boca Paila area. These are generally done in kayaks, with a local guide, and take most of the day. they show the highlights of the area and explain the local flora and waterways. Often wildlife can be observed, both in and out of the water. This area in Mexico has been set aside for preservation, and great conservation efforts are underway. It is very interesting, and what a way to get back to nature. |
