What to expect

The best of the Mexican Caribbean is calling on this exclusive boat trip to Isla Mujeres – think snorkelling, A-list landscapes, and pampering along the way, all in a family-friendly setting. Maria, one of our expert local guides, says, "Isla Mujeres, or the 'Island of Women,' was once a sacred place for the Maya, who linked it to the goddess Ix Chel. These days, it's a sanctuary for sea turtles and sits right next to the UNESCO-sited Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, making it a prime spot for snorkelling, diving, and eco-adventures."

Your day kicks off with a hotel pick-up and check-in at Marina Hacienda del Mar. After hopping aboard the exclusive TUI Collection catamaran, you'll cruise through the Mexican Caribbean waters, making your first stop to snorkel. The coral reefs here are something to shout about, plus, you'll likely spot tropical fish – and if you're lucky, maybe even a sea turtle. Kids aged over eight can join in on the snorkelling fun, too, if they're with an adult, while those a little younger can enjoy a swim as long as an adult stays with them.

Next, you'll head to Isla Mujeres' downtown before arriving at our exclusive beach club, where it's relaxation to a T. Think unlimited drinks from the open bar, a delicious grill buffet and sun beds under the palms. If you're in the mood for a little adventure, a guided golf cart tour can take you to the southern tip of the island – perfect for those all-important holiday pics, with rugged coastline views and a lighthouse. After a day of exploring and unwinding, you'll sail back to the marina, soaking in the last views of the coast.

I feel we were somewhat misled, this was supposed to be a trip to the island with snorkelling as part of the trip, the one thing that we most wanted to do as the snorkelling around the waters by the hotel are not good due to sea weed and very little rockery etc for sea life. We got on the boat after being told we couldn’t use our suncream to snorkel. Then when at water we were informed that if you are over 60 you couldn’t snorkel. It would be a good idea to let the client know this before they

Nat Geo Day Tour: Explorando los misterios de los cenotes - Un viaje por la cultura maya

Explora el Parque Tankah, en la Riviera Maya de México, con este National Geographic Day Tour. Tras una introducción, podrás nadar en dos cenotes, antaño considerados portales al inframundo maya. Disfruta de una sesión de piragüismo en el tercer cenote y termina con un refrescante baño en el cuarto cenote. Con la ayuda de un guía de National Geographic, te adentrarás en la selva hasta el cenote Cueva y el cenote Piraña para darte un chapuzón. También visitarás el cenote Naval para una aventurera sesión de piragüismo y el cenote Azul para darte otro revitalizante baño en sus aguas cristalinas. Estos cenotes no solo eran fuentes de agua dulce para los antiguos mayas, sino que también se creía que eran pasadizos a Xibalbá, el inframundo maya, donde se celebraban importantes rituales. A continuación, te dirigirás a una casa maya tradicional para aprender sobre las abejas meliponas, una abeja sin aguijón que se ha criado durante siglos por su miel medicinal. También tendrás acceso exclusivo a una cocina tradicional maya y participarás en un taller de tortillas mexicanas. Aprenderás los secretos de esta masa de maíz mientras le das forma con las manos. Luego, disfrutarás de un bufé con platos basados en el patrimonio local y que destacará los descubrimientos y sabores del día. Por último, caminarás hasta un quinto cenote, donde aprenderás sobre el descubrimiento y la conservación de estos parajes naturales.
