- to the south, interesting day-trips are possible: Mayan ruins, snorkeling lagoons, eco-parks; read about the Mayan Riviera.
- nearby Isla Mujeres offers Garrafon National Park: part natural park, part tourist attraction, with snorkeling, snuba, sea-trekking, zip line, and restaurants
- Bluewater Adventures (owned by Avalon) offers outings in the Cancun area. On the Jungle Adventure, visitors drive their own speed boat through mangrove forest, led by a guide; then snorkel at a coral reef (with instruction, if needed.) Kids can either drive or sit with an adult. Other Adventures include: glass-bottom boat, snorkeling, catamaran rides, sunset cruise.
