For more fun in and on the water, try boat rentals and cruises, jet ski rentals, jungle tours in your own boat or on jet skis, parasailing, water skiing, fishing, and more.

If you're up for some undersea adventure, scuba & snorkeling are ever popular. Cancún and the surrounding area has some of the most amazing diving and snorkeling to be found anywhere.

Cancun's numerous Eco- and Water Parks give you the opportunity to visit gorgeous natural environments, explore nature, swim with dolphins, and take wild rides on water slides.

For kickin' back in quiet locales, exploring nature, or taking part in outstanding water sports, there are several Islands near Cancún that are sure to fit the bill: Isla Mujeres, Isla Contoy, Isla Holbox, and Cozumel are all wonderful places to relax and explore.

For fun on land, you might want to rent a moped or bicycle. Also fun and available are driving go-karts, horseback riding, golf courses and tennis.

The hotel zone consists entirely of hotels, restaurants, shopping complexes, marinas, and time-share condominiums, with few residential areas. It's not the sort of place you can get to know by walking, although there is now a bicycle/walking path connecting the Convention Center at the northern tip of the island with downtown.

Motorized transport of some sort is necessary, as sights are somewhat spread out. Public buses are good, and taxis relatively inexpensive. Renting a car is an unnecessary expense.
