About Parque Garaffan

Garrafón Arrecifes Natural Park is at the southern tip of Isla Mujeres, a beautiful picturesque island 20 minutes ferry ride from Cancun. Garrafón is a beautiful natural park embellished with reefs and cliffs with a splendid view of the Caribbean Sea. Here you can enjoy water activities such as kayaking and snorkeling, adventure activities such as excursions, a bicycle tour, and fly over the turquoise waters in zip-line. The park also has access to an imposing area of cliffs called Punta Sur, where you can admire the Sculptural Garden, the Lighthouse, the Mayan Temple to the Goddess Ixchel, and the path by the sea that will take you to the first point in Mexico to look out for the first rays of the sun every morning. Delightful .... how can anyone miss this?

Must See

  • Visit Punta Sur, Blue Eye Cave, Sculpture Garden, a lighthouse, a Mayan temple, and the first spot on Mexican soil touched by the sunrise every morning.
  • Zip-line 100 feet above the sea level from a tower on top of the highest peak in the park over the waves into the sea. 
  • You can ride a bike through the Isla Mujeres island jungle with green vegetation on one side and the sea on the other.
  • You can swim with dolphins or you can ride on a dolphin. Depending on the package you choose, you can kiss, hug or get a foot push from the dolphins and you can also swim with marine species like sea lions, manatees, sharks and stingrays in their natural habitat.
  • Go snorkeling under sea water around the reef to see the Mexican Caribbean marine life.
  • Take a ride in the single or two-passenger kayaks and explore the island safely within the boundaries of the park and get better views of Punta Sur and Cancun Bay.
