Beyond the bustling bodies and the sweltering tropical heat of its beaches, Cancun has a lot to offer the traveler. And more so if they travel by boat. The ocean in these parts is home to Cozumel, the biggest reef system in the continent, island natural reserves, and several Mayan ruins. Here are some Richard Ohlhaber tips if you want to go boating in Cancun.
First, there's a lot of boat rental services in the area in case you're not bringing your boat. If you are, make sure you're bringing proof of citizenship, departure clearance, and title from the last port you've docked.
Next, if you're planning to go swimming, make sure you use biodegradable sunscreen. The non-biodegradable ones harm the corals. Let's all do our part to preserve the Yucatan's natural environment so we can keep coming back to it.
If you plan on visiting any of the islands listed as natural reserves, make sure to do your reservations way in advance. The Mexican government only allows 200 people per day on some isles like Isla Contoy.
If you keep these things in mind, you'll have a pleasant boating trip to Cancun, advises Richard Ohlhaber.
