The basics: what is the Go City Cancun pass?

 

It’s a fully digital sightseeing pass for Cancun and the Riviera Maya that helps you visit more attractions for less. Pick between the All-Inclusive Pass and the Explorer Pass to match your travel style.

All-Inclusive Pass

• Choose a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5-day pass. Visit as many included attractions as you can each day.
• Best for go-getters who want to pack their vacation with tours, day trips and activities. Great for families and first-timers.
• The more you see and do, the more you save—it’s ideal for mixing big-ticket day trips with shorter activities.
• Simple activation starts when you scan at your first attraction and runs for consecutive calendar days.

Explorer Pass

• Choose a set number of attractions—3, 4, 5 or 7 choices. You’ll have plenty of time to use them after your first scan.
• Best for easy-going travelers who want flexibility across several days without rushing.
• Pay once, then pick your favorites as you go—perfect if you already know your must-dos and prefer a relaxed pace.
• Valid for 30 days from first use, so it fits around beach time.

Buying and activating your pass

 

1. Buy online: Grab your pass on the official Go City website or in the app for the best price and customer support.
2. Download the Go City app: Your pass lives in the app. Use the link in your confirmation email to add it, then browse attraction info, opening hours, maps and booking links in one place.
3. Activate when you’re ready: The All-Inclusive Pass activates at your first scan and runs for your chosen number of consecutive calendar days. The Explorer Pass activates at first scan and stays valid for the next 30 days.

Using your pass

Ancient sites, adventures and day trips

 

• Chichén Itzá and Valladolid day trip: Explore Mexico’s most famous Mayan city and add a stop in the Yucatán town of Valladolid on this round-trip coach tour.
• Cancun parasailing: soar over cobalt-blue seas and white-sand beaches, taking in views of Isla Mujeres, Nichupté Lagoon and the Cancun Hotel Zone.
• Jungle speedboat and snorkel tour: Pilot a two-seater speedboat through the Nichupté Lagoon mangroves, then snorkel coral gardens at Punta Nizuc. It’s equal parts scenic and splashy.
• Isla Mujeres day trip: Sail across cobalt water, snorkel shallow reefs teeming with tropical fish and unwind at a beach club. It’s a full day of island vibes with sea breezes, lunch and plenty of photo ops.
• Zipline and cenote adventures: Soar over the canopy on a multi-line circuit, then plunge into a limestone cenote for a cool-water swim.

Plan ahead

 

• A little prep helps you squeeze the most value from every day. Start by grouping your plans by area: Hotel Zone and Nichupté for speedboats, parasailing and aquariums; downtown for markets and departure points. Slot longer excursions—like Chichén Itzá or a full-day Isla Mujeres trip—on separate days so you’re not rushing from one big activity to another.
• Use the Go City app to check opening hours, blackout dates and meeting points, then map your route to avoid backtracking. Many tours include hotel pickup, but some require you to make your own way to the marina or a central meeting point—be sure to build in buffer time for traffic. For water-based activities, mornings usually mean calmer seas and clearer visibility.
• Bring essentials: reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, water shoes for cenotes, a towel and a change of clothes. Some activities have small dock or conservation fees payable on the day, so carry a little cash and a photo ID. Most attractions allow one visit per pass, so prioritize your must-sees and add shorter stops around them. And remember, the All-Inclusive Pass shines when you start early and stack experiences, while the Explorer Pass rewards a slower pace—plan accordingly.
