When you visit Cancun, you expect to spend most of the time at its beach, maybe rent a boat, take a tour, or just enjoy laying by the pool at your resort. Although Cancun weather is mostly warm and sunny, there are some rainy and cold days. So I bring up to you four amazing things to do in Cancun when it rains.
You don’t have to feel unlucky if there is rain in Cancun, because there are some free and paid alternatives, which I’ve selected due to their quality, trustworthiness, and cancellation policies.
Try an ATV Tour in Cancun if it rains
I am not a rain lover, but I am not a rest lover either. If there is bad weather in Cancun I will find something to do. Well, this Cancun ATV Tour was wonderful. You grab an ATV to visit an open cenote and an underground cenote with stalactites and stalagmites.
Cenote water is usually very cold. But the best part is that when there is cold weather, for some reason the water turns to be warmer. I haven’t asked why, but it happens in every cenote.
You can find this Cancun ATV Tour from $69 USD and it includes transportation from your hotel, activities, and food.
Try a cooking class!
As funny as it sounds, it is true. Maybe it is time to learn some foreign cooking skills. I mean, you are looking for what to do in Cancun when it’s raining, and getting into a kitchen to learn something new it’s amazing. You will visit the market to select your ingredients, learn how to cook different dishes, and finally, have an amazing lunch with all the freshly received Mexican chefs. Check the tour here.
Xplor or Xplor Fuego
Xplor is a theme park with different activities. It’s really amazing. I’m not gonna lie, it’s way better to experience it when it’s not raining. However, it is definitely a good alternative if it’s raining anyway. You are going to visit caverns with amphibious vehicles, ATVs, and canoeing in underground rivers. At this moment, the weather doesn’t matter and you will be already wet. So when you get to the outside activities, the ziplines, you will only get a bit wetter.
Try local businesses, shopping, and restaurants in the city Center
Cancun city center is colorful and different from the hotel zone. Most people tell the tourists that the city center is where Coco Bongo is. However, it is not that far from it. Although it’s raining, all the markets, street food, and restaurants take place. You can find very delicious desserts, tacos, handcrafts, and even street shows. It is very safe, nothing to worry about.
If you don’t like adventuring yourself to these places, I highly recommend you the Cancun Taco Tour by Cancun Food Tours. They pick you up from your hotel and they bring you everywhere with an amazing guide.
