Cancun Area holidays - travel guide - activities & sights

If you're into watersports, then Mexico has plenty to offer. The coastal resorts all cater for enthusiasts and beginners. Snorkeling, wind- and kitesurfing, parasailing and sailing are all available. For a different underwater experience visit the 'cenotes' or caves, lying just off the highway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. They're favorites with divers, snorkelers, and swimmers.

There are a number of marine parks and resort-based companies that offer the rare chance to swim and interact with dolphins.

Combine sightseeing with a round of golf. Mayan ruins can be seen on some of the scenic courses centred around the resorts.
