Destination Wedding Group Activities

 

Hi there and welcome to Fall!

Can you believe the Summer season has come to an end? however if you are lucky enough to be attending a Destination Wedding coming up, then your Summer will definitely be extended in some beautiful tropical destination. 

This months blog post we wanted to share some Mexican Destination Wedding group activity ideas that we recommend if you are thinking of something fun to organize for your guests.

A great idea for your Destination Wedding is to organize a planned activity or two for all of your guests, either pre or post wedding so that everyone can get to know each other better or just to have some fun outside of the resort.
These suggestions can also be a great idea if you are thinking about having your stag or stagette  party while you are down there.

1. Golfing 
A lot of the resorts will mention they offer "free golf" however make sure to read the terms and conditions as there are some fees that are mandatory e.g. golf cart, clubs, shoes etc. There are also tee times that are only included in these special offers so be sure to read the fine print. They have some incredible resorts in the Mayan Riviera and Cancun so be sure to check them out: Grand Coral Riviera Maya Golf Course
 


2. Shopping Tour 
A great experience is to go to Playa Del Carmen and do a shopping tour of 5th Avenue, usually most resorts will offer this tour and the price will include your transportation, a meal voucher at a restaurant such as Senor Frogs and tequila tasting.
 

3. Adventure Day out - Xplor Park
This park is for adventurers it has everything from zip lining to ATV tours, swimming in the cenotes and rafting in the cenotes. This park has it all! Xplor


4. Swimming with the Dolphins
This is always a favorite amongst all of the ages and there are multiple locations to experience this amazing adventure. Swimming with the dolphins - Cancun
 


5. Coco Bongo
If your group likes to party then this is your place! You will see a Coco Bongo representative at most resorts (usually hanging around the pool on the party side) and you can negotiate a group rate where they will include transport, table service, drinks and a lot of fun to be had. You don't want to be getting up early the next day if you go here the night before. Coco Bongo
 

6. Spa day 
Why not relax and have a day in the spa, most resorts will have a spa on their premises so make sure you request a price list from the concierge and book with plenty of notice as this is something that definitely is popular amongst other guests.
 

7. Mayan Ruins - Chichen Itza 
These ruins are one of the 7 wonders of the world so it is a very popular tourist attraction, they are located in Tulum and are a must once in a lifetime (or more) see for most. Chichen Itza
 

8. Fishing in Puerto Morelos 
If you are into fishing then this is also a popular activity amongst groups (great for a stag party)
Fishing
 

9. Diving or Snorkeling
The reef that runs along the coast is the 2nd largest coral reef in the world, the portion of this reef that runs in front of Puerto Morelos is a National Marine Park. Which is a great place to experience snorkeling or diving for any tourist or group. Puerto Morelos
  

10. Visit another resort for the day
If you are staying at a resort which has a sister/parent resort (part of a chain) then they will usually offer guests to "play" at their other resorts for the day at no additional cost (you have to organize your own transportation). This can be a great idea to try out some new restaurants, meet some new people or just have a change of atmosphere for the day.
