On your next vacation in the Mexican Caribbean, expect plenty of adrenaline, fun and a thousand options to vibe with the Cancun beach environment. Among the seemingly unlimited amount of activities available in the city, there is one that you must try if you want to expand your horizons, and that is flyboarding.

This new water sport has sparked interest on a global scale, which is an advantage for you if you dare to try it in the crystalline waters of Cancun's sea. If you have never heard of this activity before, we will tell you. It is performed by putting on special boots connected to a propulsion tube. When powered by a jet ski, it launches a water jet that causes you to stand up.

Where to go flyboarding in Cancún?

This extreme activity can be found in Cancun's two main districts:

- Flyboarding in the Hotel Zone: This location is one of the most popular for this activity because it has the largest concentration of resorts, hotel chains, and the best discotheques. Depending on how close you are, flyboarding can be found at Chacmool Beach, Caracol Beach, and even Playa Ancha.

- Flyboard in the Nichupte Lagoon: Another advantage of Cancun is that the only thing separating the lagoon from the sea is a road, making it easy to go to either of these sites. If there are a lot of people on the beach, the lagoon is a fantastic option to enjoy a tranquil experience. Just because it's not the sea doesn't mean that your adventure flying over the water won't be as extreme. You'll have a unique landscape all around you.

Flights range in length from 10, 20, and up to 30 minutes, depending on where you can enjoy this experience. It is crucial to note that the minimum age for this activity is 12 years old (with signed parental or guardian consent) or to be at least 1.20 metres tall. For this experience to be safe, you must weigh at least 45 kilos and not more than 120 kilogrammes.

Don't forget to double-check that the location where you've chosen to flyboard provides safety equipment, such as a life jacket and a quick introduction if you've never done it before.

Cancun, as one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, will provide you with entire packages that cover everything from hotel transfers to photo packages that will make you appear like Iron Man flying over the water.

A curious fact to mention is that, in addition to flyboarding, you can also fly on a jetpack or hoverboard. Unlike the flyboard, which requires special boots, the jetpack will lift you up, and the hoverboard will allow you to fly by just placing your feet on the board. As you can see and imagine, this aquatic - airborne activity will make your entire emotional spectrum quiver.

When is the best time to flyboard?

Flyboarding can be done in any weather, whether it's raining or it's a bright and sunny day. Furthermore, Cancun has a consistent climate throughout the year, so there will be no reason to pass up this unique opportunity.
