At the end of the beautiful Cancun hotel zone and close to Riviera Cancun Golf Club you will find the aquatic park Wet’n Wild. Its water slides, wave pool, lazy river and other fun activities will make sure you have an enjoyable time. And with food and drink included in the entry price you don’t have to worry about carrying lots of extra money with you.
Ready to fly like Superman?
This multi-award winning theme park is without doubt one of the best in Quintana Roo. Selvatica – located close to Puerto Morelos – boasts the fastest zip-line in North America. Flying head first over the wilderness, taking a refreshing swim in a cenote, and navigating through the jungle in a buggy are just some of the adventurous activities that will leave you wanting more.
Breathtaking views at Garrafón
Garrafón is located on the laidback island of Isla Mujeres, about a 30 minute ferry ride from Cancun’s hotel zone. Its zip-lines offer you one of the most spectacular views in all of Mexico; that of the many blue tones of its Caribbean Sea. If swimming with dolphins is on your list of things to do then Garrafón is the perfect place to do it.

Aquatic activities are the principal focus of Xel-Há, which boasts a beautiful bay full of fish where you can snorkel to your hearts content. Scuba diving, sea trekking, or simply taking a relaxing journey down a river in an inflatable doughnut; these are just some of the activities on offer.
