The turquoise-tinged, crystal clear Caribbean waters situated along the Riviera Maya provide not only a beautiful backdrop for your vacation but also an incredible place to explore! The region is one of the most popular destinations in the world for those seeking fun in the sun and a relaxing atmosphere. The Caribbean Sea is so gorgeous that it is practically begging for you to jump in and experience its delights for yourself. There is a wide variety of water sports to try while you are on vacation in the Riviera Maya, but how do you know which ones are worth your time? Take a look at some of our favorite water sport activities found in Riviera Maya and choose a few that suit your travel interests:

Swim with Whale Sharks

If you are ready to experience an adventure of a lifetime, look no further than swimming with whale sharks. You will be taken out to an area where these gentle giants congregate to feed. Exploring the underwater habitat alongside the biggest fish species in the world may seem intimidating at first, but you will soon realize that despite their massive size, they are quite safe to interact with and pose no threat to humans. You may also catch a glimpse of other sea life such as manta rays, dolphins or sea turtles during your adventure.

Cancun Underwater Museum

The Cancun Underwater Museum contains more than 500 amazing sculptures that adorn the seafloor, and it is a must-see while you are in the area! You will travel by boat and once you arrive, you will hop in the water and have the chance to snorkel around while observing this remarkable collection of sculptures. They have been crafted with materials that encourage healthy coral growth which in turn attracts a great deal of sea life. Linger in the water to observe the many schools of vibrant tropical fish and other marine animals which gather here to the delight of visitors. If you enjoy scuba diving, this also happens to be a terrific spot for doing so.

 

Tulum Ruins and Underground Cenote Tour

Tulum is, without a doubt, one of Mexico’s most famous archaeological sites, and you will definitely want to see it while you are in the Riviera Maya. Filled with astounding architecture including massive pre-Columbian temples while boasting some of the most breathtaking views of the Caribbean, Tulum will surely leave you feeling amazed. Afterward, you will head to Aktun Chen Park where a fascinating underground cenote will tempt you for a swim. You can even take part in an optional guided tour through an otherworldly cave.  

Isla Contoy Day Trip: Snorkeling and Eco-Paradise

What could be better than a day spent exploring both land and sea? Your adventure will start with some snorkeling fun amongst the brightly colored coral at the Ixlache Reef which attracts marine creatures such as spiny lobster, seas turtles, tropical fish and queen conch. Following that, you will have the chance to roam around beautiful Isla Contoy, where you will be guided by a certified expert through this national park and wildlife refuge. The island is a welcoming sanctuary for more than 150 species of birds, many sea turtle species and other wildlife.

Reef and Shipwreck Snorkeling Tour

The Riviera Maya is filled with miles of stunning coastline that overlooks the Caribbean Sea, but rather than just looking at the tempting water, why not get into it! This unforgettable tour first stops at a protected coral reef where marine creatures and tropical fish enjoy the safe haven. Following the reef, you will visit a thick bed of seagrass where animals such as stingrays, crabs, lobsters and sea turtles often spend their time. The final activity is the most thrilling of all: you will descend upon an authentic Caribbean shipwreck! Get ready to marvel at the power of the sea, and enjoy watching tropical fish and other marine creatures as they pass by.
