What are some things to do in Cancun?

I’m going on my first international trip to Cancun with some friends at the end of June. Any must-see or must-do things we should check out? Also, any tips or things to avoid (besides the water)? We’re a group of six, so safety isn’t a big concern, but any travel hacks or essential items we should know about?

Relaxation is very important, Enjoy the stunning white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters.

Take a day trip to the cenotes and Chichen Itza. A long yet incredibly worthwhile day. Remember to give your tour guides a generous tip as well. When I got off the tour bus, I noticed that the tips in the basket were pitiful. Individuals were genuinely contributing five pesos.

You may schedule transport and tours through businesses such as Amstar.
I adore Siete Bocas Cenote. However, if you jump from the cliff and into the ocean, make sure to use good form. The previous time I was in Cancun, I jumped into a different cenote and hurt my tailbone.

personally i have been there for a while now, Cancun has been an incredible experience so far, and I’m sure you and your friends will love it just as much! The beaches here are stunning, especially Playa Delfines with its turquoise waters and soft white sand. Visiting Chichén Itzá was a highlight, offering a fascinating glimpse into Mayan history. Taking a ferry to Isla Mujeres was a blast; we rented golf carts to explore, snorkeled at Garrafon Natural Reef Park, and relaxed on the beautiful Playa Norte. Swimming in the cenotes, particularly Ik Kil, has been refreshing and unique. Cancun’s nightlife is vibrant and lively—Coco Bongo’s shows are spectacular and not to be missed. Water activities like snorkeling and diving at the underwater museum (MUSA) were unforgettable experiences.

To make the most of your trip, stay hydrated with bottled water, use plenty of sunscreen, and stick to bottled water to avoid any issues. Transportation has been easy with taxis and rental cars, just agree on fares beforehand. The local cuisine is delicious, especially tacos al pastor and ceviche, but I’ve been cautious with street food. Carry some cash for small purchases, but credit cards are widely accepted. For safety, staying in well-populated areas and keeping an eye on belongings has been simple and effective. Packing light, with essentials like a portable charger, reusable water bottle, waterproof phone case, bug spray, and handy travel apps, has made the trip smoother. Overall, Cancun offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and exciting nightlife that makes every day here amazing. i know im doing alot of typing rn , but its just that i cant hide the excitement…
