Scuba Diving Holidays in Mexico

Over the last few years we have seen the number of British travellers to Mexico increase significantly. If you are interested in planning your next holiday to Mexico, or you already have, you may want to book your holiday activities before you get there. In Mexico, there are an unlimited number of activities that you may find exciting. One of the more popular of those activities is scuba diving.

Obviously you cannot just go scuba diving in Mexico as like everywhere else a valid dive license is required. The choices of where to dive while in Mexico are many, and deciding which place best suites your interests may take a little research. Even if you are not an experienced diver, several of the resorts that offer diving also offer PADI dive courses for the beginner or novice diver.

Today, Scuba diving has become big business with most seaside resorts and beach properties offering the activity to their guests. Mexico presents the diver with a diverse array of dive locations from colourful reefs to magnificent coral islands. Around Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the twin centres of Cozumel and Playa del Carmen are both famous for their excellent dive locations and both welcome you with typical Latin American warmth, traditional Mexican food and incredible Mayan heritage.

The beautiful pocket island of Cozumel lies atop an ancient coral reef system and promises translucent waters and inviting beaches. Across on the mainland in Playa del Carmen dive operators are plentiful and you can also arrange trips to the great Mayan ruins or hikes in the rainforests, as can day trips to Cozumel – or vice versa.

Mexico is located in the northern region of the South American continent between the Gulf of Mexico on the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is bordered by the United States on the north and by Guatemala and Belize to the south. The Yucatan Peninsula provides the best diving destinations, where you can enjoy the white-sand beach resorts and the clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, where you can scuba dive along the world’s second largest coral reef. You can also swim in fresh water pools in submerged caverns, known as cenotes.

Staying at Playa del Carmen provides access for diving the Cenotes. These underwater caves with amazing natural light changes are suitable for divers of all levels. Cozumel offers spectacular drift diving through coral gardens, pinnacles, caverns and drop offs.

One is often able to swim with the dolphins and sea turtles and this alone to many is worth the dive experience. Lobsters, eels, sting rays, and a large number of different kinds of fish are some of the other attractions for divers. The fish often include puffer fish, spotted fish, parrot fish and if lucky you may even come across the famous but rare Mexican walking fish. The axolotl is a species of salamander turned fish that is native to the Mexican lakes of Chalco and Xochimilco near Mexico City.

Also check-out Tres Rios which is an ecological park in an area of low subtropical jungle and mangrove in the Riviera Maya, between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Tres Rios is the only area in the Riviera Maya where cenotes are at ground level in the form of fresh water wells that opens in to shallow underground rivers.

Unless you are an experienced diver, you are advised to go scuba diving with a trained professional, especially in the cenotes. Diving the cenotes has become very popular with tourists over the years and therefore booking a few days in advance is your best chance of enjoying the experience. You don’t want to be diving the cenotes amidst a huge crowd.

Beginners can learn to scuba dive at a number of locations right across the costal regions of Mexico. Many of these locations also offer guided tours which is a great idea if you haven’t been diving for a long time. Refresher courses and beginner lessons are offered as group lessons or private lessons. Private lessons may be more expensive, but many first time scuba divers find them rewarding, in more ways than one.

If you aren’t into scuba diving yet, you could try snorkelling which is sometimes equally rewarding. Underworld Scuba which is located in Manzanillo and also the Puerto Dive Team in Oaxaco are two companies that offer brilliant snorkelling expeditions which can sometimes last the whole day.

To find other guided tours that are designed for scuba divers, you are encouraged to look HERE, and use the search function to find tours and excursions by destination. Whether or not you have already selected your Mexico destination, you should easily be able to find a selection of tours on our partner website. The closer you are to the coast, the more tours you will have access to.

Holidays in Mexico become popular with seniors

Chichén Itzá - Temple of the Warriors - Credit: JimG

Mexico is suddenly seeing a huge increase in senior citizens visiting their many tourist destinations, as more seniors look to enjoy their retirement travelling. Not just Mexico, but all around the world, this trend seems to be increasing in popularity. A large number of senior citizens are making the decision to get out and travel. If you are one of those individuals looking to spend your retirement travelling, then consider Mexico, as they have recognised the trend early and all of their more popular holiday destinations have begun to offer facilities specially to entice the senior traveller.

Mexico is an amazing place to spend your holidays and is ideal for individuals of all ages. A large number of senior citizens travel to Mexico each year, despite popular belief that the United States and Europe are the only safe holiday destinations that are ideal for senior citizens. I suggest you take the time to examine what Mexico has to offer, and once you see the numerous tours, excursions and activities specially designed to cater for older folk, you will likely want to schedule your next holiday in Mexico.

As with any other holiday destination, Mexico has a wide range of activities for both the old and young. However if you’re not up to doing much on your holiday and if relaxation is your thing, then relaxing at the beach, taking a boat cruise or going on a guided tour by air conditioned coach, can all be arranged at your hotels tour desk. If you are only able to select a few of these activities, you will want to examine each activity and determine which one takes in the sights you wish to see most and brings you the most pleasure.

One of the most preferred activities in all of Mexico for senior citizens is guided tours. When one thinks of a guided tour, it most often conjures up images of hiking or biking through rough terrain, but that is not what Mexican guided tours are all about. It is true, you may find guided tours that require a large amount of walking, but there are lots of specially arranged tours which are more suited to seniors.

Popular guided tours, that are ideal for senior citizens include bus and boat tours. ATV tours are also available and are ideal for those seniors who wish to have a little bit more freedom and excitement while touring Mexico. For those that wish to relax while seeing what Mexico has to offer, boat tours or bus tours may be best.

While boat cruises are often used for sightseeing, there are many that offer exciting onboard activities that most seniors enjoy. These activities often include a night of dinner and dancing, tombola and bingo evenings, etc. With a little bit of research, it may be possible to find a boat cruise that is designed specifically for the kind of evening entertainment you like most.

Mexico is best known for her beautiful, fun, and exciting beaches. If you are interested in relaxing at the beach and not doing a lot more than that, you have a number of options to choose from. Due to Mexico’s popularity, many public beaches are overcrowded, especially in the spring and summer months. I would suggest that all senior traveller stay away from large crowds and to book yourself a nice beach resort, as all of them have private beaches where you will not be troubled by the big crowds.

Aside from large, well-known resorts, Mexico offers a number of smaller resorts that have a focus on relaxation and privacy. If you prefer to spend your holiday in a private and intimate setting, you may want to consider these types of resorts.

Mexico has lots to offer all travellers and although I’ve mentioned only a few of the more common and not too tiring activities above, there is also boating, fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, big game/deep sea fishing or horseback riding.

As a final piece of advice, I would like to remind all senior travellers to visit their GP before venturing off in to the unknown. It is advised that you enjoy your holiday, not push yourself over the limit.

Family Holidays and Resorts in Mexico

Family holidays in Mexico offer many benefits. Though many cities are associated with constant partying, there are also many activities that are designed for young children and teenagers. It’s also a fairly common practice that children receive discounts at many of the more popular tourist attractions. Selecting an all-inclusive holiday package for the whole family is one of the best ways for everyone to enjoy their time in Mexico, without having to worry about the cost.

If you are interested in visiting Mexico with your family, you will want to examine some of the many resort destinations that are specifically geared towards children. Such resorts usually offer an array of attractions and activities ideal for making the most out of your family holiday. Below is a summary of just a few of the many attractions and resorts that you may find exciting in Mexico. For additional information, you are encouraged to contact your local travel agent or use the internet to guide you in your search.

Located on the Mayan Riviera is the Xcaret Theme Park. The Xcaret Theme Park is a wonderful attraction for those who are looking for a family resort. Located in Cancun, Mexico, the Xcaret Theme Park is a theme park that is often compared to Disney World or Disneyland. Similar to Disneyland and Disney World, you can expect to enjoy a fun filled day at Xcaret, thanks to amazing rides and attractions.

A deep underground river is a popular feature of the Xcaret Theme Park. You and your family can see plenty of beautiful tropical plants as you enjoy a ride down the river.

To find a luxury resort that offers family oriented activities you may want to check the link or speak with your local travel agent.

Cozumel also offers many great attractions and activities that are designed for individuals of all ages, especially children. The place is famous for family diving holidays, especially because it has one of the lowest crime rates in Mexico, as well as the world. Cozumel is home to some of the most beautiful coral reefs too, which are a huge attraction for scuba divers, but also ideal for snorkelling with the kids. This often creates an incredible adventure and learning experience for children. If your kids enjoy scuba diving or snorkelling, then you will want to plan a trip to Cozumel as it’s a lot less expensive than places like the Maldives.

With so many options for families, choosing a Mexican all-inclusive holiday is a great idea. Holiday packages will also include items such as snacks, drinks, meals, as well as hotel accommodation and sometimes even airfares. Teaching children about various cultures and customs and letting them view the Mayan ruins first hand is an amazing lesson in geography and history.

ATV Tours in Mexico with Jungle Jim

While holidaying in Mexico there are an unlimited number of places to visit and lots of activities to participate in. If you have never had the opportunity to visit Mexico before, you may wonder just what some of the activities are. How about the jungle? Does exploring the jungle sound like fun?

It you think that exploring Mexican jungles sounds like a fun and exciting activity then you are not alone. Jungle tours are currently a well-kept secret in Mexico, for the most part. However, they are rapidly beginning to increase in popularity. One of the many reasons why jungle tours are becoming popular is because of how the tours are being carried out.

In most Mexican jungles the terrain makes it difficult or sometimes even impossible for guided tours to take place from a bus or a car. Hiking or biking is often dangerous and not very practical If you are interested in scheduling a Mexican jungle tour, you will find that the most practical tours are usually ATV jungle tours. The all terrain vehicles are what make most jungle tours fun and exciting.

If you are thinking of an ATV jungle tour, you might want to find a tour guide or company specialising in ATV rental tours, as it’s generally advisable against touring the jungles on your own. Professional ATV tour guides not only know where to look in the jungle for exciting adventures, but they also know how to keep you safe. To find an individual or company that specialises in ATV jungle tours, you can contact your travel agent or do the research yourself.

While researching ATV jungle tours, it is likely that you will not find many UK based tour companies offering the service. It is advised that you determine the location of each tour and then compare it to your intended Mexico destination. ATV jungle tour guides are not hugely popular and they can only be found in limited areas. If you are interested in scheduling an ATV jungle tour, you may have to be prepared to travel to the intended tour site which is generally off the beaten track.

If you plan on holidaying in or around the Cancun area, you may be able to schedule an ATV tour with Jungle Jim’s ATV Adventures. According to their website, their ATV tours have been rated as the best ATV tours in the area for two years. Another fairly popular operator is Cozumel Tours who offer ATV jungle tours in and around the Mezcalitos area. Cozumel Tours and Jungle Jim’s ATV Adventures are just a couple of the many ATV tours that can be found in Mexico. If these tours do not service your area, you are encouraged to keep on looking.

ATV jungle tours have become extremely popular but they are also lots of fun just thrashing around the beaches. Many tourists find it exciting to ride an ATV along the coast while sometimes venturing off into the jungles for a bit of a rougher ride. If you are interested in scheduling an ATV tour, whether that tour is of the jungle or beach, you are encouraged to determine whether or not reservations will be needed. The need for reservations often depends on the tour company which you plan on doing business with, but with more company’s popping up every month, and even some hotels offering the service, you shouldn’t have too much difficulty finding a machine to burn off into the sunset on.

As previously mentioned, you can either research or book your own ATV jungle tour reservations on your own or can do so with the assistance of a travel agent. When selecting reservations, you may want to be on the lookout for tour packages. These packages may include a wide range of Mexico tours, in addition to ATV jungle tours. Many times, you may be able to schedule an ATV tour, hiking tour, or snorkelling/scuba diving adventure all in a tour package for one low-price.

It is likely that you expected to find an unlimited number of activities on your Mexico holiday but did you honestly expect ATV jungle tours? In Mexico, it is often difficult to know what to expect. Perhaps, the unexpected and unknown is what draws so many British tourists to Mexico.
