We are staying at the Riu Peninsular resort in cancun, but I've been tasked with finding things to do while there.

Scuba was ruled out unfortunately but we are pretty open to anything else. Food, culture, shopping, hiking, adventured etc.... any suggestions?

We did the deal at aquaworld where it's like $120 and you can do unlimited stuff all day. They have snorkeling, jet skis, parasailing, jet boards, sailboats, personal boats, tons of stuff.

It's basically the price of about 2 things, so totally a good deal.

Rent a car and go for ride a around the Yucatan. Check out cenotes, ruins, and old colonial towns.

Just back from a weekend trip where we rented in Merida and swung through Tulum on the way to Cancun. Great roads, safe, and pretty scenery.

This is usually how the abduction articles begin.

Take a float through a Cenote. They are better on scuba, but there are some that can be snorkeled/floated.

we wanted to, but then saw that the jungle tour had 45 min. of snorkeling as part of the activity, so we opted for that instead.
You get to drive a little 2 person boat through some jungly waterways out to a snorkel site, then drive back after snorkeling. It was pretty fun. 2 hours total.

Don't do a sailboat/catamaran excursion.. we did and the dude couldn't sail us back to shore. We were out there for 2.5 hours, supposed to be about 45 minutes. That sucked.

Go shopping in the market in town. Go with a group thought - rough part of town.

Also, lots of good places to eat in town as well, though I cannot remember names.

The aqua parks are fun. Next time we go, I want to shuttle or sail over to Isle Meures (sp?) and check that out.

We did a tour to Chichen Itza with a stop for buffet lunch and swimming in the cenote. Tour guide even squeezed in a stop for shopping in the market in Valladolid.

Even if not this one I highly reccomend Chichen Itza. It was awesome

We did a catamaran with snorkeling at the museum

Pretty choppy water but cool

After snokling went to isla then it became a party boat

We stayed at the other Riu

Not a bad excursion

U can also walk to the ferry and go to isla for cheap

We did this a few years ago. All day deal but worth it.

Bring cash. Had a problem with what was included in the buffett lunch and what wasn't and ended up having to get pesos from an ATM an hour later in Valladolid to pay back the tour guide since there was no way to pay with card at the cenote.

Take the ferry over to Isla Mujeres for the day. Amazing people and food on the island. You can rent golf carts and ride all over the island. Playa Norte is a beautiful beach as well.
