There is no place in the globe quite like Cancun. Cancun is a young city that boasts a stunning coastline, gorgeous blue waters, and year-round warm weather and sunny skies. It is also just a short ride away from some of the world's best coral reef gardens and to the dense Yucatan jungle. In just a few decades, Cancun went from a quiet, sleepy fishing village to an all-out world-class vacation resort destination. With the backdrop of picture-perfect natural settings and beaches, developers saw the great potential Cancun had. Quickly, resorts and hotels were built and people from all over Mexico came to this up-and-coming city looking to be a part of the action. These days, Cancun is one of the world's top vacation destinations, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

From the lively streets of downtown to the luxurious resorts of the Hotel Zone to the pristine beaches of the Riviera Maya coastline, Cancun has something for all types of interests. The hotels alone range from affordable hostels in Downtown to all-inclusive resort & spas with private beaches. Whatever you dream of for your tropical vacation getaway, Cancun probably has it!

And, of course, Cancun has the area's best dolphin excursions in Isla Mujeres's top-of-the-line marine animal and dolphin facilities.
