Sunset in a light aircraft in Cancún
Although watching the sunset from a beach in Cancún is a great spectacle, doing it from the air is an unforgettable activity. You can take an aerial tour that will take you over the beaches of Cancún just about 30 minutes before sunset, so you will be able to appreciate the gradual way the sun sets and the lights of the Hotel Zone begin to turn on.

Tip: Most tours include Hotel – Cancún Airport – Hotel transfer. Please note that it is necessary to cover an airport tax of $10 USD per person.

This tour is ideal for spending a romantic moment, as you can find trips that include 1 bottle of wine on board during the 45-minute flight for a cost of approximately $550 USD per couple. If you are traveling with family, you can take the same tour for up to 9 passengers for a cost of $880 USD.

Aerial tour from Cancún to Chichén Itzá
During this aerial tour, you will fly over the thick jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula, where you will find the structures of the ancient Maya civilization, Chichén Itzá. This destination is a must-see during your vacation to Cancún, as you can take many photos of the iconic pyramid.

Tip: You can also take the night tour to see the light and sound show “Noches de Kukulcán,” which takes place over the Mayan buildings.

The tour, in a Cessna 206 type aircraft, for up to 5 passengers, has an approximate cost of $900 USD for a duration of nearly 6 hours and generally includes access to the Chichén Itzá area, entrance to the Ik Kil cenote, a guide, and Hotel – Airport – Hotel transfers.

2. Helicopter ride in Cancún
The helicopter tour offers a panoramic view of the Nichupté Lagoon, the Hotel Zone, Isla Mujeres, the biosphere reserve, the bird sanctuary of the famous Isla Contoy, and, of course, over the beaches of Cancún where you will be able to fully appreciate the coral reefs.

The helicopter ride in Cancún, in a Robinson 66 model, has an average cost of $700 USD for 4 people on a trip that lasts approximately 45 minutes.

3. Parasailing in Cancún
Parasailing, popularly known as “parachute,” is an aerial activity in which a parachute propels you and keeps you in the air while a motorboat tows you over the sea. This allows you to have a 360-degree view of the landscape, so you can enjoy an aerial view at a shorter distance from the beach than you would have from a helicopter or light aircraft.

How many meters does parasailing go up? On average, you rise to about 80 meters in height.

The tour has an average cost of $65 USD per person for a trip of approximately 15 minutes. It is not necessary to know how to swim since you are equipped with a life jacket.

4. Skydiving in Cancún

If extreme activities are your thing, you can choose to do a tandem jump from a light aircraft—that is, a 40-second free fall and an approximately 8-minute parachute descent, strapped to a jump instructor.
