This is possible here since there are companies that can offer you this tour to go through this biotic zone that will allow you to admire the resistant trees, in addition you will find jungle animals that will surprise you while they hide in this ecosystem.

The Nichupté Lagoon is one of the favorite places to navigate the waters of the Quintana Roo’s coast. On board a Yamaha, Kawasaki or Sea Doo you can drive across its approximately 3 thousand hectares, approaching the limits of the Hotel Zone while enjoying the company of Caribbean birds.

One of the most recurring questions that you would probably also like to know is how fast can you run on a jet ski? This will depend on the brand and model, as well as the performance, but you will surely be able to reach more than 62 miles per hour. If you know how to drive them and have a little more experience, you will find companies that have Sea Doo models that reach up to 186 miles per hour.

It is worth mentioning that children can also participate in this activity, although if they are under 16 years old they will not be able to drive, but they will be able to go as co-pilots. This sport allows fun for the whole family.

Get ready to jump the funniest waves in the Caribbean, tense your hands and arms well to dominate the steering wheel of the bike and not lose the direction. Also try your poses as a character of "baywatch" to take pictures so you can show off the best vacation driving a waverunner. Of course, don't forget to bring a pair of sunglasses!

No matter where you are going to stay in Cancun, you will find a place nearby to practice this great sport from Nizuc, to Punta Sam, a jet ski rental will be easy to find. All you have to do is decide which beach you want to go to and how long you want to enjoy it and ride the waves of the Caribbean.

If you don't have any experience, don't forget to ask if the rental includes a short class or at least an introduction on how to drive it. Although we know that the first thing you will want to do is to run, we suggest that you familiarise yourself with the vehicle and the area little by little.

Another thing you'll want to do is stand up, and of course this can be done too! We recommend you to put yourself in this position if you're in rough water, because standing up will help you stabilize the jet ski and jump!

Always make sure that the company you rent the jet ski with provides you with a life jacket, since it is mandatory, and also that they indicate the perimeter where you will be allowed to ride the jet ski, in case you have not chosen a guided tour.

All you have to do is look for the beach in Cancun that you think you will enjoy the most at full speed and live a different kind of tour across the pristine waters of Quintana Roo.
