The 10 Best Day Trips from in Playa Mujeres, Quintana Roo

October 31, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Just north of Cancun, this seaside resort community is a far cry from the spring-break crowd. Bordered on one side by the Mexican Caribbean and the other by a wetlands wildlife preserve, the vibe in Playa Mujeres is one of laid-back luxury in a natural, untouched landscape. Unlike many other such tranquil places, Playa Mujeres is not a pain to get to. It's an easy ride from Cancun airport.

This was a great half day excursion. We had already done ruins before and wanted to explore cenotes. They picked us up and took us straight to cenotes. There was 4 different ones at complex each different from the others. We have small child back at resort and wanted to do something that wouldn’t take full day. This excursion exceeded our expectations and we felt it was good value! We will definitely not forget our I experience there!

We had a great experience on this snorkel trip, involving two different areas of the reef offshore of Puerto Morelos. The water was beautiful and we were able to see a few sea turtles and a stingray in addition to all the fish and coral life. Our guides Tess and Jesus did a great job of taking care of us, and they clearly are very good caretakers for the waters and the reef. Highly recommended as long as you are comfortable snorkeling in ocean waves! We stayed far south of Puerto Morelos, so our transportation time to the tour provider was longer than we anticipated, but it was worth it. It is fairly close if you are staying in Cancun itself.
