Description

Swap beach crowds for twisting waterways and your mini speedboat. You’ll race across open waters, then duck into narrow jungle channels brimming with life. It’s the kind of tour that makes you grin from the very first wave.

Climb into the driver’s seat of a two-person speedboat and get ready to zip through Cancun’s Nichupté Lagoon. This guided mini-boat adventure blends the freedom of driving with the guidance of a local expert leading the way. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll throttle up and follow your guide across open waters before entering the narrow, winding canals of the mangrove forest.

Feel the rush as your boat cuts through the glassy lagoon, its wake spraying behind you. You'll steer through secret water trails framed by dense, tangled mangroves. The area is a natural habitat for herons, iguanas, and other coastal wildlife, so keep your eyes peeled as you glide through. The pace balances bursts of speed with quieter moments where you’ll cruise through tight jungle paths and soak in the surroundings.

No experience? No problem. These boats are easy to maneuver and perfect for first-timers. Each vessel fits two guests, making it a great activity for couples, friends, or even older kids riding with a parent. In just under two hours, you’ll see a different side of Cancun—fast, fun, and far from the beach crowds.
