About this experience
Navigate canals, float past musicians belting out Mexican tunes and feast on an authentic Mexican dinner – all washed down with some tequila. What's more, with door-to-door transfers included, your evening in Cancun is taken care of.
Based on Xochimilco in Mexico City, Xoximilco Cancun mimics the ancient Aztec tangle of canals, and this night cruise helps to bring it all to life. Once used to transport flowers, fruit and vegetables, the gondola-like trajineras set the scene for your night out in Mexican style. You'll encounter musicians in traditional costume playing mariachi, bolero and marimba music and you'll be able to tuck into a feast of traditional dishes.
A party isn't complete without an open bar: you'll have tequila, beer, soft drinks and water all available for you throughout the night. So if you want a Mexican dinner in a colourful setting that'll remind you of the carnival, Xoximilco is the place to go.
