Xenses

First up is Xenses, a full treat for all 5 of your senses! Xenses is the perfect playground to explore all your senses individually and enjoy diverse ecosystems in the process!

Xenses is one of those excursions where you truly can’t believe what your eyes are seeing, but it’s certainly an unforgettable experience, and the photos you’ll take are hilarious – perfect family fun.

Cenote Experience

Discover the magical underwater world of Mexico with a cenote experience. A cenote is a natural sinkhole in Mexico, normally home to a variety of fish and wildlife thanks to their extensive underground river connections. Cool fact – in Mayan history they were used as a water source to people living across the Yucatan! For those looking for a cheap holiday to Mexico, a cenote experience is the perfect budget-friendly addition, with many options available below £40. 

Chichen Itza

Now you’ll have certainly heard of this one, Chichen Itza is one of the 7 wonders of the world, a collection of incredible monuments from history scattered across the world renowned for their history and wondrous looks. On a guided tour, a handy guide will immerse you into the incredible Mayan culture surrounding these ruins, discovering all there is to know about the people. Some tours available also include a buffet lunch and sometimes an additional trip to a cenote or local town so you can get a feel for local culture in the modern world, blending both historical and present energies together.

Swimming with Turtles

We think most people can agree, swimming with turtles is a bucket-list experience! It’s not often you get a chance to see them in the flesh let alone swimming with these wonderful creatures. In the heart of the Riviera Maya. Whether you choose a TUI excursion or local guide, you’ll be able to snorkel beside them in their local habitat, weaving through coral reefs and other schools of fish. At some hotels (Bahia Principe Grand Tulum is one of many) scattered across the Mexican coastline, in the right season, you’ll be able to see turtles hatching along the beaches, with protected zones laid out to protect them as they make their first movements towards the water.

Catamaran 

For those planning the ultimate trip to Mexico, a catamaran excursion is the perfect way to treat yourself during your long-haul getaway. They can be a little more expensive than your usual excursion, but they ooze luxury and are a real treat to anyone planning to go out on the open waves. With snorkelling, lunch and private tanning time, there’s a variety of things you can do on a catamaran. You can even visit the Isla Mujeres during some trips, a beautiful private island with sandy shores and a handful of shops for souvenirs.

Coco Bongo

If you’re looking to let your hair down and experience a more entertaining excursion, then Coco Bongo is up your street. It’s the ultimate party-performance in your choice of either Cancun, or Playa Del Carmen. Think circus-like entertainment topped off with your favourite party beats.
