The Other Side of Cancun

When you think of holidays in Cancun, the images that spring to the mind of most are firstly, stretching out on the powder soft beaches soaking up the suns hot rays maybe clutching a fruit cocktail, then secondly, throbbing nightclubs jam packed with holidays makers in skimpy attire partying the night away. Whilst there is nothing wrong with these images, Cancun holidays offer so much more variety than partying all night and relaxing on the beaches all day.

The main reason many tourists head to Cancun is to sample the world famous 'Party Zone' which is situated around the marina. This is the place to be seen in Mexico with an abundance of trendy bars, pumping nightclubs and lively cabarets as well as a large selection of delicious restaurants serving cuisine from around the world.

If you desire more from your holidays read on and you will discover just what else Cancun has to tempt you, and find out about some delightful day trips that are readily available for you to sample if you can tear yourself away from the stunning Mexican beaches.

Educational Dolphin Program - This is the experience of a lifetime suitable for both adults and children. Within this comfortable environment you will become astonished by the intelligence and friendliness of these stunning mammals. You will learn all about the nature and anatomy of the dolphins and watch them perform some of their fun tricks. The highlight of this tour is definitely when you get to touch and kiss the dolphins and then feed them their daily meal, in return they will kiss you on the cheek. A truly amazing and sentimental experience for anyone that takes part.

Jungle Adventure - Take a 4x4 vehicle ride through to Rancho San Felipe which is a small Maya family community. Here you will get the chance to snorkel through the crystal clear Nohoch Nah Chich Cenote, a stunning underground river. You then get to walk through the jungle and follow the footprint trail of the wild jungle creatures. A scrumptious traditional Maya lunch awaits you at the ranch all freshly prepared by the women of the community. After lunch you have the opportunity to meet a small Maya family that have lived in the remote jungle for decades.

Jet Ski Jungle Tour - Jet ski along the lagoons and winding channels of Cancun guided by a tour leader, taking in the stunning scenery and enjoying the exhilaration of driving your own jet ski. Keep driving right into the glorious Caribbean Sea to the Punta Nizuc coral reef. Here you have the opportunity to take a dip in the crystal clear water, snorkel and marvel at the rainbow of tropical fish swimming beside you. The journey back takes you on an alternative route visiting the Love Lagoon for a touch of romance before returning to the pier of departure.

This is just a small selection of excursions that are available in and around Cancun to help you have an unforgettable holiday in Mexico. If you tire of the Party Zone on an evening and welcome a change from the small intimate bars and restaurants within Cancun there is also a range of night time excursions just waiting to be sampled.

Sunset lobster cruise - A total must for honeymooners or romantic couples. Board the Columbus galleon and head out to Lovers Lagoon whilst enjoying fine wine and cocktails. Enjoy a romantic sunset on the deck whilst feasting on freshly barbecued lobster and fine wine before dancing the night away under the moonlit sky with the sea breeze blowing in your hair.

Now when you close your eyes and think of holidays in Cancun you should be able to envisage more than just spectacular beaches and thriving nightlife. A great assortment of fun packed days await you in the Caribbean sunshine and the best thing is that there are some fantastic deals available on cheap Cancun holidays ensuring that you have spare money to participate in at least one of these great excursions.
