Cancun is a relaxation paradise, but if you’re ready for some fun in the sun that’s a bit more active than a poolside snooze, then the tremendous range of water activities in Cancun is sure to get your adrenalin pumping.

If waiting for the right wave isn’t your style, then jet surfing could be right up your street!

Located just a five minute walk from Ocean Spa Hotel, JetSurf Cancun takes the necessity for waves completely out of the question.

Jet-surfs are ultra-light motorized surfboards that propel you through the water at maximum speed. One hand is used to control the speed, while the other is free to maintain balance- a unique expereince if you are looking for  cool water activities in Cancun.

If you really get the hang of it, you could even sip a cool beverage whilst whipping through the Caribbean Sea. Jet surfing is an incredibly stylish way of skimming through our warm waters, and the wind blowing through your hair will make you feel a million dollars!

There are few marine activities that will make you feel like you’ve just stepped into a real-life James Bond movie than those provided by Jetpack Adventures. If you’re a wannabe Sean Connery, we highly recommend the jetpack! As you fly through the air, you’ll feel like you’re re-enacting that famous getaway scene from Thunderball. Your balance and weight control the direction of the rig, and your well-trained instructors will get you reaching the skies in no time! Take a look at the jetpack in action .

If playing the bad guy is more your style, Jetpack Adventures have got you covered! Cue a mode of transport with the name and looks of the most devious movie villain – the Seabreacher! This semi-submersible water craft can dive two meters underwater, and jump six meters in the air! Peer into the depths of Cancun’s crystal waters through the military grade glass, but be sure to buckle up as you experience speeds of 80 KPH, reach the heights of a double decker bus, and experience donut turns, and 90 degree side rolls, all in the safe hands of your skilled pilot!

If you’re less of an adrenaline-junkie, then a fly-underwater tour would be one of the water activities in Cancun you must try. It is the perfect mix of movement and relaxation.

An underwater directional device known as a Sub-Wing allows you to pass through the water as you please, coasting through the natural underwater beauty of Cancun as you are pulled by a motorboat.

You’ll have waves of excitement as you witness some of the most breathtaking marine life that Mexico can offer. Whether you’re mimicking the playful, smooth turns of a dolphin or the graceful nature of a mermaid, the freeing feeling is blissful! 

A great activity for all swimming abilities: don’t forget to attach your GoPro for some great underwater footage!

If you’re looking for something a little more laid back but still don’t want to miss out on the exotic marine life of the Caribbean Sea, we have the perfect option for you. The Sailing Platinum - Isla Mujeres Catamaran Tour from Cancun does exactly what it says on the tin, and more!

Get whisked away from the hotel zone in an air-conditioned vehicle to the marina, and before you know it, you’ll be spending the day on a luxury catamaran, sailing over to one of Cancun’s most stunning attractions, Isla Mujeres! Known for its incredible biodiversity, Isla Mujeres is best seen up close and personal with some snorkeling gear! You will be transported to another world as your guide directs you to amazing turtles and tropical fish going about their business in the coral reef.

When you’ve taken in all of the wonder this place has to offer, head to the beach and enjoy the delicious lunch that has been prepared for you! You have the rest of the afternoon to explore before sailing in style back to the marina.

This day trip will be the highlight of your vacation; the kids will be talking about it for years to come!

From thrills that would excite even the most practiced action hero, to calm, joyful trips where you can soak up the magical scenery that Cancun is famous for, there are so many water activities in Cancun to choose from on your vacation here! Which one will you choose?
