On Wednesday January 22nd we have a half day, which means we can play in the afternoon. There are two boating trip options that have been organized for our group: one with adventure and one to relax and watch the sunset. These are being coordinated through Cancun Adventures and you can go directly to their website to read more about these excursions and to book them. Both boat trips include transportation to and from the hotel.
