What Are the Must-Do Activities in Cancun?

I’m planning a trip to Cancun and looking for recommendations on what to do while I’m there. What are the must-see attractions, activities, or experiences that you would recommend? Are there any hidden gems or local favorites that should not be missed?

In Cancun, you can enjoy snorkeling, swimming in cenotes, and exploring Chichen Itza. Other top activities include visiting Xcaret Park, taking a catamaran cruise to Isla Mujeres, and experiencing vibrant cultural boat tours at Xoximilco. Don’t miss out on relaxing at beautiful beaches and shopping at La Isla.

We chose to cut down on the number of attractions and activities that needed a long commute during our most recent five-day vacation by spending an afternoon in Isla Mujeres. After completing that, we’ll aim for Chichen Itza or Xcaret the next time.
