What are the best areas to take a boat tour in Quintana Roo?

• Boat trips in Cancun: Cancun is the preferred destination of foreigners who come to get away from all kinds of stress, both work and personal. Since it is a destination to relax and explore or to party and have unforgettable nights with its great variety of nightclubs in the area. But we are not here to talk about parties, or maybe we are, as there are boat trips that take you to visit some of the islands close to the city such as Isla Mujeres, or even to see some of the Mayan settlements that are viewed from the sea.

An opportunity to take a boat ride on the Mexican Caribbean must be seized because you can celebrate your special occasions on a boat. Some boat rides include snacks, drinks such as soft drinks or even have an open bar with your favourite cocktails.

Therefore, you can also find the option of sailing privately either by yacht or catamaran, so that only you and your guests can have a pleasant time along the coast of Cancun. It is worth mentioning that this activity is ideal to do at all hours of the day, but especially when the sun is setting as the sunset paints the sky in an incredible way with the perfect contrast of the Zona Hotelera.

• Tour the coast of Playa del Carmen by boat: One of the favourite places of the locals is Playa del Carmen, where the Cenote Azul, one of the most beautiful cenotes in all of Riviera Maya is located. You can enter by paying a fee, and they give you the option to swim in this place. Another place is cenote Jardin Eden, also located near the Cenote Azul. These are must-visit places and cannot be missed during your visit to this place. Although you can get there in different ways, the most recommended way is by boat. A boat ride is a perfect excuse to visit these places where you can enjoy an incredible experience navigating a large part of the coast, and you can get to the island of Cozumel if you desire since it is only 30 minutes away.

One of the most used transports to get to this island is by yacht or catamaran. There are packages or tours in which you can snorkel near this area for its spectacular reefs or even spend almost the whole day touring the entire island and Playa del Carmen and even party if you wish. Quintana Roo is a place to party and enjoy, so a boat trip is the most recommended activity here.

• Boat trip around the island of Cozumel: As we mentioned before, one of the characteristics that make the island stand out is that it is a destination where the most important reefs of Mexico are found. The advantage that Cozumel has is that there are boat trips that offer you the option of snorkelling on some beaches in addition to taking a tour around the island.

During these tours, it is common for crew members to serve drinks depending on whether it is on a catamaran or a yacht. But what makes this tour worthwhile is that you can see Playa del Carmen in the distance due to its proximity to the island, but that is not the only attraction! As it still has some Mayan settlements, you can see it from a distance.

Boat rides in the Caribbean Sea are more intriguing than you think, so we recommend you to come with friends or family to make it even more amazing.

Not only cities, but you can also visit the island of Holbox located in the north of Quintana Roo, a little known island. The only way to reach the island is by taking a boat trip as it is a car-free island. It is considered a paradise isolated from civilization where only you and nature are connected, lying in its famous hammocks on the seashore. Quintana Roo is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, magical and impressive states you can visit in Mexico. Come and decide what kind of boat you want, whether you prefer a tour for a couple of hours or enjoy a full day onboard maritime transport, you will have a great time!
