More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Sunlight punches through a thin morning haze as the boat slips away from the marina and the beach-line of Cancun’s Hotel Zone shrinks astern. In minutes you’re clipped into a harness, the canopy fills, and the wind lifts you above a band of turquoise so clear you can pick out sandbars and dark coral patches. At 80 meters (about 240 feet) the island of Isla Mujeres sits like a bright coin on the horizon while the Nichupté Lagoon and hotel skyline thread the shore below.
