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

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

Johnny & Oswaldo were amazing. The ATV’s could’ve been better honestly, it was not much fun but after the tequila tasting & cenote, it got better.

Jony was amazing !!!!! He made the trip worthwhile

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. 🌴🏍️🐎💦

Gio have been amazing!! 10/10 Highly recommend

The experience on this trip was amazing our tour guide was Ricardo and driver, Carlos. We have heard a lot about visiting Chichén Itza. It’s one of the 7 wonders of the world. I definitely don’t think you should do it on your own, and you definitely need to be with the right tour guide. Ricardo is very friendly, knowledgeable, and you can tell he is very passionate about what he does. He went over the history of the Mayas and the ruins and explained it a way that felt like you were there. His English is great also. By the end of the trip it felt bittersweet because it felt like we really made a connection and now we had to go. I would 110% recommend booking with Cancun Adventures and requesting for Ricardo and Carlos as your guides.

Tour guides were all very nice and understanding! They even let us still go when there was a transportation misunderstanding that meant we were a bit late!

We booked a chichen itza, cenote and valladolid all-inclusive tour. The whole trip was amazing. I thought it would be a long day with a buss for of people. However the day went smooth great communication from staff Cesar. We first stopped off at a place to buy obsidian products, then onto Chichen Itza, where Cesar was very i formative, you had option to tour with him or do it on tiur own, we toured with him and learnt so much, but then ended up not having too much time on your own, so I would recommend to take photos as you go along and also rent the umbrella on offer and take plenty of water, next to Cenote a defo must do after a hot day of walking, take a towel. Food was excellent plenty of vegetarian options would recommend the AI option, then onto Valladolid where we had option on tequila tasting or 30min to do your own thing, would suggest the tequila tasting and I still had time to get an ice cream and take photos. We're back at the hotel by 8pm. What a great trip and the guide made all our day, he was amazing.

We had a great time. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and entertaining. I would strongly recommend. Also, rent the umbrella you will need it.

such a fun experience! our guide david was amazing & so funny & energetic. zip lining was a blast. the atv’s were so much fun & we even got some great pictures from both activities. the highlight was the cenote and how refreshing it was to take a dip after such an eventful action packed day. 10/10

Hugo was a great tour guide! He had just the right touch of explaining history, sharing culture and allowing us time to explore on our own.He had some funny jokes and was very friendly! Though I forget his name, the driver did a great job getting us everywhere safely.10/10 recommend

Such an awesome time. The island was beautiful. Snorkeling was fun as well. The crew made the catamaran ride a party.

We had a blast on this excusion! So much fun riding the 4 wheelers and the airboats were a new activity for us! The staff was helpful and made our day a ton of fun! We had a great ride on the ATVs and on the airboats, we saw Pink Flamingoes and stopped at a stunning beach area - highly recommend!!!!! Also the photos offered were great and reasonable!!!!!!!

This was the most beautiful water I have ever seen. Our tour guide Uncle Bob and the crew were all amazing. Great vibes, very relaxing & very clean boat. We brought our 2 year old and 6 year old and we all felt very safe. During this trip you get time on the island and we rented a golf cart and drove around. Uncle Bob (tour guide) pointed us in the right direction to get the best experience. 10/10 on the whole day.

We had the whole bus to ourselves. We had a great time. Tony the guide is amazing and very knowledgeable. Now as far as the stops. The first stop I think we could have done without honestly. As soon as the bus pulled up people came rushing the bus. We barely got a chance to get off when people were swarming us and asking us to do tails tastings and showing us stuff they wanted us to buy. There was an older lady who followed us around and was trying to get us to purchase things. She was nice. We were talking to her as we were shopping. We found two shirts as souvenirs for our boys. We went to pay and the cashier told us our total was MX $735. My partner speaks Spanish so my corner confirmed it was for both shirts. The cashier told her “yes both”. We paid and started heading to the bus because we were right at the time we were supposed to be back. The older lady who was helping us runs out and starts telling us that there was a mistake with the price. She said we were only charged for one shirt. My partner tells the lady that she asked and was told it was for both because there was no way they were charging $40 per shirt. (We also would not have purchased them if they were $40 per shirt) So she says no that’s for one shirt. If you don’t pay they’ll take it out of my salary. I told my partner to just give her one of the shirts back. If we had more time I would of told them to take the other shirt back too and give us our money back. When we got to the next stop they had the exact same shirts for $20 a piece. So I wouldn’t purchase anything at the first stop. I would wait for the next stop.
