Take a boat tour out on the water

The Mexican Caribbean is known for its gorgeous oceans and Caribbean views. One of the best ways to get to see this is via your very own day out on a private boat. Speak with your resort concierge and ask about local excursions out on the water.

You could even make it a surprise for your beloved and take a picnic with you to be enjoyed in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. 

Relax in a cenote or an underground river

The Riviera Maya is well known for its numerous underground rivers and natural cenotes which provide couples with the perfect inland swimming areas for a romantic time together. If you are staying in a luxury resort like Excellence Riviera Cancun, you can enjoy the best activities and find a large number of extraordinary natural swimming spots nearby like the cenotes Sol y Luna, Tula, Elvira, Zapote, Lu’um, and many more. 

Whether you want the ambiance of an underground cave or the open-air environment where you are surrounded by lush greenery and warm air shaded from the sun, a trip to a Cenote in the Riviera Maya may be just what you need. 

Explore the ancient ruins of Tulum

Discovering things together as a couple can bring out the wonder in your eyes and can make for an easy and comfortable conversation between yourself and your partner. One way to accomplish this is to head to the ruins of Tulum for a day of immersion in Mayan history and an archaeological site that is as interesting as it is beautiful.

Surrounded by the lovely Caribbean sands and seas, this landmark has everything you need for a wonderful day out together. Try and plan to head here as early as possible so that you can enjoy a quieter ambiance and don't forget to pack your swimsuit so you can take advantage of the beach. 

Swim with the gentle giants of the deep

Whilst your partner may at times surprise you and leave you in awe, there is something that you can do together that will leave you both in reverence and admiration. This is an underwater adventure where you get to swim with the largest fish on the planet. 

Book yourself a whale shark tour and actually get into the water with the incredibly large yet friendly ocean giants. Make sure that you take a camera so that you can capture some underwater moments next to these gigantic beings. 

This is a bucket list experience that you can share together and something that you will certainly never forget.

Do a Tequila tasting session

You are in Mexico! This means that you have direct access to the best tequila in the world. In fact, Mexico is the only country in the world to actually make this exotic liquor. Why not take this fantastic opportunity to try out some different kinds of tequilas together in a tasting session where an expert mixologist in one of the resort bars will walk you through the different notes and flavors that each bottle contains?

As you finish up your last couple of shots, you will both be smiling and you may be feeling extremely relaxed as a result. This kind of session is often best followed up with an afternoon siesta or a rest by the pool. 

Try out the traditional Mayan Temazcal

Enter an igloo-shaped hut where you can transport yourselves back in time as you submerge your minds, souls, and bodies in an ancient ritual that is designed for its health benefits but also for its therapeutic relaxation. 

This is truly one of the best ways to truly experience Mexico. Engage in a Mayan ceremony in the spa for a couple of hours and let yourself unwind in a way that honors the ancient techniques and rich Mexican heritage of the Temazcal. 

Explore Chichen Itza as a couple

When many people think about cool things in Mexico, one of the top things on their list of things to do may be to visit or see Chichen Itza which has become one of the new wonders of the world. However, what if you could not just see it as many others do, but get a fresh new perspective that very few people ever get to experience?

Well, this is all possible thanks to private tours and helicopter tours that take you over the ancient site so that you can see the beauty of this historical city from the skies above. This makes the entire endeavor so much more exclusive, romantic, and intimate for you both. 

Get a live Mariachi band

Last, of all, have you considered serenading the person your partner with a live Mariachi band in Mexico? As far as Cancun honeymoons go, this is a very lovely way of expressing your love for your partner and it certainly will not be forgotten.

Get the band together in their traditional Mexican Charro suits and enjoy the ambiance of romance that this live music creates for you and your beloved spouse.
