CANCUN, MEXICO | 5 Must-Do Day Trips from Cancun
ฝัง

- Cancun is considered to be the heart of the Mexican Caribbean. At this beautiful destination, you’ll find spectacular white-sand beaches, a turquoise sea, and a vibrant nightlife, which attracts millions of tourists every year. But unfortunately most tourists don’t venture out of the famed Hotel Zone. If you’re staying in Cancun and looking for unique activities to do, we highly recommend you head out of the town at least once during your trip! Cancun is the perfect location to explore nearby towns, Mayan ruins, and natural attractions from. In this video we highlight 5 must-do day trips from Cancun:
5. Río Lagartos & Las Coloradas
Located about 3.5 hours from Cancun, Río Lagartos and Las Coloradas make for a great day trip. Río Lagartos is basically a fishing village located along the Gulf Coast. It’s filled with wildlife and pristine nature. You can explore its protected biosphere by taking a boat tour where you will observe hundreds of flamingos, crocodiles, and pelicans. Right outside the biosphere, you can find the pink water lagoons called “Las Coloradas”. These pink lakes are formed by salt mines and make for stunning pictures.

4. Tulum
From the Tulum Ruins to the unique Kaan Luum lagoon, the Calavera Cenote and the Gran Cenote, you have plenty of options here. Tulum is a 2 hour drive away from Cancun and can be easily reached by local collectivo or the tourist ADO bus. Alternatively, you can also book a day tour to get here.

3. Bacalar
Famous for its immense deep-blue lake, Bacalar is located in the south of Quintana Roo, near the border of Belize. It takes about 4 hours to get here by tour bus, so ideally spend more than 1 day here if you can. However, it’s still doable to get there and then back to Cancun in a day if you get an early start. It’s best explored during a boat tour, so you can experience and swim in the different colors and cenotes in the lake.

2. Isla Mujeres
Only a 20 minute boat ride from Cancun, Isla Mujeres is the closest day trip recommendation on our list. The island is a beautiful, peaceful paradise known for its white-sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and the friendliest locals in the Mexican Caribbean. It’s also a popular scuba diving and snorkeling destination, with the impressive MUSA Underwater Museum of Art and the beautiful Manchones Reef near the shore.

1. Chichén Itzá
Our favorite day trip from Cancun is to Chichen Itza, one of the 7 World Wonders. This archeological site is located about 3 hours away from Cancun by tour bus. Chichen Itza was once a thriving community of Mayan people and boasts an interesting history that you can’t miss.

Cancun is recognized throughout the world for its spectacular white sand beaches and its fascinating sea in turquoise blue tones. With unique natural places, Mayan culture, water activities and adventure.
I'm happy I came across your video. I'm going to Mexico in April and I can't wait!
Have fun!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to Cancun in July but really wanted to explore some of the beautiful sights, so this is perfect! Now I need to decide which 2 out of the 5 to do haha
Have fun!! Well it depends on what you’re interests are... we really enjoy history so the ruins are great for that. But if you like more of the water activities then don’t even bother going all the way there and just stay along the coast closer to cancun and visit some cenotes 😊
I'm planning a trip to Cancun and I found your information SO incredibly helpful! Thank you very much for the details.
Thank you so much! Have a great trip!
thank you great info

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words!
one of the best content creator
Thank you!!😀
Amazing video
Thanks!
Underrated channel
Thank you 👍
This is a great video! Very informative! I will be there in July as well and definitely will be doing the Mayan ruins tour! Cant miss the wonder of the world when Im so close!!😅 As for a second I am thinking the first option of Rio Lagartos & Las Coloradas. Just wondering if you know what public transportation looks like there ?
You definitely can’t miss the world wonder! And you can check the bus schedule online for ADO buses! There might be a bus from Valladolid there but not sure. When we were there, there weren’t any buses because of COVID. But that might have changed. We did a day tour from Valladolid which was also fun!
lovely content! can you tell us about drone laws in Mexico. I see some lovely sweeping shots on your channel.
Thanks! Well we heard the drone laws have changed a lot over the last year... it seems that drones are no longer allowed, unless you are a Mexican citizen!
It's very helpful, thank you for the video ! How many days do you suggest to stay in Cancun including the places to visit around It please.
To visit Cancun to it’s fullest and the best surrounding attractions that are within a 3 hour drive, we would recommend 2 weeks. That will give you enough time to enjoy the best things to do in the area without rushing
Such a helpful video! My husband and I are headed to Cancun in about a week and are wondering if it is best to book our day trip online or wait to do it through the hotel? We have heard mixed things on this. What’s your recommendation? The day trip to Chichen Itza is one we don’t want to miss !
You can definitely decide on the spot and book it the day before you’re planning to go! In that case, you’ll have more flexibility. Either way works… prebooking is only for those who want to have a piece of mind!
❤
Thanks for the great video. Do you know if we are allowed to fly drones in cancun as an international traveller?
According to the new rules it's not allowed anymore!
Hi, great video. Do you recommend renting a vehicle so we can avoid relying on public transportation?
You can definitely rent a car. The city is a bit challenging to drive but once you're outside of it, it becomes a lot easier!
I am traveling to Cancun and staying in a resort however, I would like to arrange to get to Tulum and back to Cancun for the day. What’s the best way to do so?
You could take a collectivo or ADO bus which leaves from downtown Cancun. It costs about 50 pesos I think and takes you all the way to the center of Tulum.
Hi. Is it possible to do 2 excursions a day ? I will be staying for a week for my first time ever in Cancun. I want to get padi certified, snorkel, swim with dolphins, jet ski, parasailing, atv, zip line & do the hip hop party boat but I don’t think I can do this all in one week right ?
That sounds like a very busy schedule! Getting PADI certified takes usually 4-5 days and involves many practice sessions and a bit of theory studying as well. So if you only have a week, I would either do that or just stick to snorkelling in the many beautiful waters and do some other activities like the jet skiing, parasailing, and ATV (which are usually paid per hour - so you can choose how long you want to go for). Other boat tours might be half or day-excursions.
Is it good to go during august ?
Hard to say! It's definitely the raining season so there is always a potential of hurricanes...
Excursions can take up your entire day - be aware . 12 hours total . Not everyone enjoys this and it can be tiring so you need to go into it knowing what you wanna see and do. I’ve done a lot there and things are overhyped and not worth it like chichen itza, cenotes note the waters extremly deep and icy cold etc
Thanks for the great videos. We also create travel programs that we show on Latvian television, as well as on our TH-cam channel. Maybe we could meet somewhere in the world someday?
That would be great! Let us know when you're around ;)!
