The pristine beaches of Cancun are absolutely stunning. Especially for some quiet downtime by the water. But we have a feeling your kids have something a little different in mind for their vacation. Don't worry, Cancun has more than enough adventures to keep the whole family busy.

There's one word that's guaranteed to brighten the day of any kid: dolphins. These happy-go-lucky aquatic friends are always glowing with excitement and fun. So if the mere mention of dolphins brings a smile to your kids’ faces, just imagine how they’ll feel when they see them in person. Let's just say the only way to describe it will be "pure joy." Once you watch these magical creatures sing and dance, you might love them even more than your kids do. Not that that's a bad thing.

What's Included

Round-trip transportation and admission to Xel-Ha park, access to more than 30 water and land activities, unlimited food and drinks at the park's restaurants, snorkel equipment (bring cash for a deposit), towels, and, of course, a swim with a dolphin.

At one of the Yucatan’s oldest archaeological sites your kids will be awed by the history and archaeology of the Mayans. With artifacts like glyphs, masks, and stone statues, trust us, the whole family will be wide-eyed with wonder and excitement.

During this all day tour, you'll explore the Temple of Kukulcan, the Nunnery and Monastery temples, the Ball Court, then you'll head to the nearby town of Piste for lunch at the Pueblo Maya restaurant before moving on to the most refreshing part of your day. You'll visit Ik Kil cenote, a freshwater sinkhole 85 feet below ground. Take a dip or simply sit and admire the natural beauty.
