Things to do over the New Year's Day long weekend in Cancun (Updated 2026)

We had such an amazing time on our cruise to Isla Mujeres on September 9, 2026! The entire crew was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. ❤️ A special shoutout to Peter, our tour guide, who was absolutely amazing! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more fun. 🙌🏼 Our captain was also incredibly nice, and the whole crew made us feel welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. And I have to mention the two guys at the bar—they were on top of it! 😂🍹 We could barely finish one drink before they were already ready with the next one! They kept the drinks flowing and the good vibes going all day. 🍹 I wish I remembered everyone’s names because the entire team on September 9th deserves recognition. They were friendly, attentive, fun, and truly made our day special. We HIGHLY recommend this cruise! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re thinking about visiting Isla Mujeres, definitely book with them—you won’t regret it! 🌴💙

Great time! If you’re thinking about something fun and different, I’d definitely do this! Great staff, they’re a lot of fun and very helpful and knowledgeable.

Amazing!!!! We had a blast and it was so much fun!!! Highly recommend and would do it again but be aware when you get there they will offer you a premium package that will be hard to say no to. But it’s worth it.

The experience was amazing, Cesar and Alfredo are one of the best tour guides I have interacted with, very knowledgeable, always made the entire bus laugh recommend them and SAT mexico

We were staying in Puerto Morales and we were picked up at 6:30 am. We were dropped back at our resort at 8:30 pm. It was a very long day! That being said, although extremely hot, chichen itza was amazing. Cesar was an excellent guide. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. Swimming in the cenote was so refreshing. Lunch was tasty. Tequila tasting was fun and educational.

Amazing experience. Highly recommend. We were picked up right on time and arrived with a very warm welcome. We got the VIP experience and it was worth it. Arrival champagne with a private escort around the park before we used the lockers and went on the ATV tour. You can't bring your phone due to safety standards but the photos were amazing. It was €75 for 2 people for our photos. The zip lining was amazing also and everything was close enough together. We made our way to the cenote venue where we had tequila tasting, in total 5 shots of different tequilas. We actually ended up buying a bottle it was so gpod. We then ordered margaritas and tacos then had a swim in the stunning waters and returned for our unlimited food and drinks. We were here from Ireland celebrating our honeymoon and want to say a special mention to Chili our guide he was amazing and made our experience unforgettable!

Amazing staff! They make you feel so welcomed we even booked last minute and they were so helpful!

When they offer the VIP package get it. We did and glad we did! Our guide person was awesome Jonny and tequila guy O 🤘

Hugo was great! So passionate about what he does and that made the experience even better. Great value to have everything included and just enjoy the day. L

We did the cenote and lagoon tour on our honeymoon. It was around $180.00 for two of us. They do try to get you with a $40 per person photo fee. You can take photos at the lagoon but not the cenote. It was very enjoyable. Pickup was right on time and explained very thoroughly in the email. It was a smooth process. The van was comfortable and spacious. Fernando was sweet and a great driver. We picked up other passengers along the way. There was around 14 of us I believe. We ended up getting to Yal Ku. JJ was a wonderful tour guide explaining natural history and explaining the process of how to snorkel. He helped us spot a sting ray, eel, and many other creatures. We then went to the cenote, which was gorgeous. JJ made sure to explain everything and added humor throughout. It was overall a great experience. Recommend.

Such an amazing experience. The cenotes and snorkeling were beautiful

We a pleasant surprise this Glass Bottom Boat tour. Since no one else signed up it turned in to a private boat tour. No bad views on this boat. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the ocean life we saw during our tour. Would definitely recommend and would do it again. You will not be disappointed!!!

Great overall experience!! Guides were really friendly and professional. Allocated time was perfect with each spot getting a perfect amount of time.

The absolute best experience ever I would 100% come back again my groups tour guide was Danny flow he made it so much fun with such high energy had the whole group interacting with each-other

Brilliant - very knowledgeable & funny guide who made it interesting & entertaining

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had an absolutely amazing experience at Mayan Jungle Rush! From start to finish, we had such a great time. The ATV ride was one of the highlights—it was so much fun riding through the jungle. The zip lines were exciting, the cenote was beautiful and refreshing, and the horseback riding was a wonderful addition to the experience.The staff and guides were friendly, energetic, and attentive. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout all the activities. Everything was well organized, and the experience offered a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and fun.They also have a shop where you can purchase souvenirs and other items. The prices were a little on the expensive side, but honestly, that’s understandable considering you’re in the middle of the jungle. It’s also convenient to have everything available there, especially if you need something at the last minute.**A few tips for anyone going:** Bring bug spray, wear shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet, and bring regular sunglasses. You’ll definitely be spending time in the jungle, so come prepared!Overall, we had an unforgettable day and would definitely recommend Mayan Jungle Rush to anyone visiting the Cancun or Puerto Morelos area. 🌴🏍️🐎💦
