Go Kayak Cancun
Canoe & kayak tour agency
👍👍 A breathtaking perspective on a place often overlooked. Among the hubbub of all the tourist attractions in Cancun, little is more impressive than the mangrove forest nestled right by the hotel zone. Filled to the brim with life, go kayak allowed me to experience firsthand the wonders of the brackish...

👍👍 Finally caught a Trophy Sailfish 🏆! This was a first class trip which couldn’t have been made possible without our awesome Captain and his Mates!

👍👍 Nassim was my guide and there was another gentlemen who did all of the driving. Each time I got out or in the vehicle, both guides got out of the vehicle to open the doors for me or grab any items I purchased along the way. Great tour for authentic Mexican food, culture, city views, and shopping. Th...

Tourist attraction
👍👍 We were a party of 2 doing the 9am non-private tour on a weekday. We had a tremendous experience on our tour, and it is unlike others we did in Cancun. I will try to include information in my review that we’d would’ve loved to have.* The tour was easy to book (but expect to make a reservation dep...

Cancun Fly Fishing
Fishing charter
👍👍 Booked two outings with Jon – and scratched off a few bucket list items. From stalking Ascension Bay permit and bonefish on my feet, to fighting Isla Blanca snook, tarpon, and jacks – Cancun Fly Fishing set everything up, and delivered an unforgettable experience at every level. Everyone who works w...

Cancun Sign
Tourist attraction
😐 Felt a bit overrated. There’s a lot of wait in the line for taking pictures with the sign. Ended up taking a selfie from distance with the sign in the background. Highly recommend going there early or late night to skip the wait. Plan accordingly if you’re on a time crunch!

La casa de salem
Tourist attraction
👍👍 La casa de salem, synonymous with the teteo house in Cancun, a true perreo institution in the Yucatan peninsula, an excellent place for nightlife, music and good service. The waiter served us very well, always attentive, despite not being a foreigner, we left a very good tip. I would definitely reco...

Laguna Nichupté
Tour operator
🫤 La laguna in se stessa era bellissima,e, lo potrebbe essere ancora se non venisse costantemente inquinata da scarichi fognari penso abusivi (sarebbe il colmo se fossero autorizzati) ! Oltretutto dove crescono le mangrovie crescono costruzioni sicuramente autorizzate compromettendo l’intero eco-siste...

Templo del Alacran
Historical landmark
👍👍 It is given this name due to the remains of a sculpture of the arachnid that was found on one of the walls of the temple. The temple stands on a plinth of vertical walls with a staircase of four steps limited by two dice-shaped alfardas; In the upper part, a platform was built that supports the temp...

Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze Cancun
Tourist attraction
🫤 It is clearly seen that it is a "museum" set up just to pass the time, they do not have real pieces, everything is photos videos and in the best of cases very cheap replicas, no real pieces. As entertainment for teenagers fine, but nothing like a museum at all. Avoid standing there.
