As you can see, there are plenty of activities that you could do on your next getaway to Costa Mujeres. 

‍

Let's get right into them!

‍

‍

Swimming with whale sharks 

‍

Hundreds of whale sharks gather in the waters surrounding Costa Mujeres from mid-June to mid-September. Snorkeling with these gentle giants is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

‍

‍

There is a lot to see of them since they are the biggest fish in the world, but don't be frightened by the word shark; these majestic creatures can measure up to 6 feet long and can weigh as much as 15 tons but they are harmless to humans. The teeth of a whale shark are too little. For them, eating requires a lot of work, so they usually stick to shrimp and algae.

‍

Many whale shark cruises are available around Costa Mujeres. To plan the best tour, speak with the concierge at your hotel.

‍

‍

Swimming with dolphins

‍

If a whale shark is a little too big for you to swim with, what about our other friendly mammal friend, the dolphin?

‍

The chance to contact a dolphin in a completely natural setting is another of the top things to do in Playa Mujeres.

‍

‍

Visit Dolphin Discovery, which is only 20 minutes from Costa Mujeres, to get up and personal with these sociable animals. You will get the chance to swim with the dolphins and feel what it's like to be dragged by one. Even hugs and kisses will be given to you by these cute pals.

‍

‍

Visit the Underwater Museum

‍

Visit the Museo Subacuatico de Arte (MUSA) (the Underwater Art Museum) and schedule a diving trip. 473 life-sized sculptures can be found at Salon Manchones, off the shore of Costa Mujeres, at a depth of 8 to 10 meters. 

‍

‍

This excursion is only recommended for divers, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dive and see a gallery. The natural coral reefs in the vicinity have been tremendously helped to be preserved by the construction of the museum. If you're not a diver, you can snorkel at the gallery of Punta Nizuc, which has 30 sculptures.

‍

‍

Visit El Meco archaeological zone

‍

Just a ten-minute car trip from the main resorts of Costa Mujeres, you can find this fascinating ancient Mayan city, small but influential and well preserved. 

‍

‍

The building is thought to have served as a significant Mayan harbor. To find their location, sailors would keep an eye out for the pyramid in the middle of the ancient city.

‍

The ruins are in excellent condition, and you may even see iguanas that wander the grounds. The ruins are covered in some shade, making it a quiet place to unwind and observe your surroundings.

‍

‍

Play a Round at Playa Mujeres Golf Club 

‍

One of the nicest places to visit in Costa Mujeres is the Playa Mujeres Golf Course, which is also regarded as one of the best in all of Mexico. Designed by the golf ace Greg Norman, this 18-hole course is as stunning as it is difficult. 

‍

There is a lot of water around, but it is not overly constricting off the tee. The greens are expertly maintained and in good condition. 

‍

‍

With Paspalum SeaDwarf grass covering its greens, tee boxes, and fairways, the Playa Mujeres Golf Course offers a strategic Par 72 game that is appropriate for both new and seasoned golfers.

‍

‍

Find a pristine beach

‍

Isla Blanca is unquestionably the Mexican Caribbean's best-kept secret. This beach is unrivaled in beauty and is nearly undiscovered by many. Its blue-green colored water makes tourists fall in love with the location right away.

‍

‍

Although it is not a beach where we can find restaurants, lounge chairs, or palapas to settle down to spend the day, it is very easy to get there in a car, and with beach umbrellas and a cooler, Isla Blanca is a great option for a picnic at the beach.
