Dolphin Discovery Puerto Aventuras
Cancun has gathered a reputation for its youth-oriented culture and wild partying. Long before Cancun was known as the "real Cancun" however, this city was known for its rich natural resources, including prosperous and sparkling blue water and its warm sandy beaches. For centuries, Cancun has been highly regarded for its aquatic life, as it was used as a fishing village ever since the Spanish conquest of the Mayan civilization. There is much aquatic life to see in Cancun, and if you are a nature lover, you will find these attractions far more beautiful and satisfying that partying the night away at a bar. That's the beauty of Cancun—it has a universal appeal and can be as wild or as peaceful as its tourists would have it.
If you enjoy interacting with nature then you will enjoy many of the area's animal life attractions. There are interactive aquariums that give you and your family the chance to get up close to amazing sea-bound creatures like rays, sharks and starfish. If you love dolphins then you can have the chance to swim along with the dolphins at attractions like the Dolphin Discovery Puerto Aventuras and the Dolphin Discovery at Isla Mujeres. You can choose a simple dolphin encounter if you've never had the privilege of formally meeting such a large creature, or can choose three different levels of dolphin swimming interaction, including a Dolphin Royal Swim, a Dolphin Swim Adventure and a Sea Life Discovery Plus.
If you're in the mood for danger (you know, the safe vacation kind) then you can swim along side whale sharks. Don't be afraid...these whale sharks are harmless and enjoy sharing the water with humans. You can see these magnificent creatures up close in their own natural habitat as you snorkel your way around the adventure. The tour is approximately nine hours long so you definitely get your money's worth when you interact with these docile giants! The Sian Ka'an is another natural attraction in Cancun, as you get to tour the wetlands of Cancun and watch approaching wild life, from aquatic creatures to exotic birds. You can also go take part in a snorkeling underground adventure and feel like part of nature yourself! The tour is twelve hours long so plan for a full day of nature watching! Other natural attractions of Cancun include the Jungle Tour and the Lobster Dinner Cruise. Along with the sandy beaches of the resort city, you are experiencing nature at its most beautiful!
Cancun has been long regarded for its natural splendor for centuries and has only recently begun to boom in tourism, ever since the 1970's. The natural beauty of this city continues to shine even while most resorts and hotels are built in the Hotel Zone and downtown district. Cancun combines the best of natural beauty and wildlife with fun contemporary amenities. No wonder this is one of the most popular locations anywhere in the world, taking in four million tourists a year and spoiling them with the best entertainment and accommodations!
