One Month in Mexico
You'll land in Cancun and go straight to Isla Mujeres where you'll immediately feel the laid-back vibe, the incredible Mexican cuisine and the child-friendly beaches. After a few days here, it's back to Cancun. In this trip we would recommend renting a car to explore the regions of Yucatan and Quintana Roo in your own pace. Tulum, Bacalar and Valladolid are all great stops along the way from where you can take day trips and visit ruins, cenotes and everything else the surrounding areas has to offer. How long you want to stay each place is up to you. In this trip we've added 3 weeks of car rental, giving you plenty of time to explore before ending your trip in a hammock on Isla Holbox for about a week. Do some kayaking, SUP or explore the mangroves from a cozy boat ride. End your trip with a night in Cancun before boarding the plane home again.

After Koh Lanta continue on to Koh Ngai, a lovely small island that consists of less than 10 resorts. You can walk from one beach to the other through a small jungle hike that only takes about an hour (depending on how old your children are and how fast they walk).
