Traveling with Teens

Shelley9962 · 12-16-2004

We're heading to the Rui Yucatan in about two weeks with our daughters, ages 16 and 13 1/2... the last time were were in Playacar, there were very few teens (it was during our daughters' winter break, which is in February). Are there likely to be more teens there since we are heading over the holidays (New Years Eve and following week...)

Also... what is something REALLY cool I can do with them (or safely let them do on their own) so I continue my reputation as a really great mom!

Horseback riding is an interest for both my daughters. And they do enjoy snorkeling and shopping.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure they'll be more, as a lot of families tend to travel around Xmas. Although it is a tad expensive, swimming with the dolphins is always a good bet, I did the horseback riding myself when I was in Mayan Riviera just a couple weeks ago and loved it! It was at the Rancho Loma Bonita, you get to swim with the horses for a brief time too, bareback, on a beautiful beach. It was $50US and may or may not include transportation, depending on the hotel I believe.
Taking a trip into Playa del Carmen for shopping is another option, tons of things to look at and buy I could have gone there another day to shop but didn't get the time, I only spent 4 hours.

If there is anything you'd like to know, feel free to ask.

Look under trip planning on this site and you will find links to the Fat Cat Catameran tour (snorkling) and ATV tour (4 wheelers). I am going to do both with my kids this summer along with the Sea to Cenote Tour. It will be the first time I have taken them. I have done the Fat Cat Tour and really enjoyed it.
The Trip alone will make you a "Great Mom". Have Fun!!
