Cancun Tour Deals: 3 Tours to Shortlist
Cancun is the easiest place to stretch a Black Friday deal, because the big-ticket parks and ruins are full-day experiences with transportation included.
- Xcaret Plus Tour with buffet and transportation — Underground rivers, snorkeling, wildlife and the famous night show, in one day. If you only book one park in Cancun, make it this one.
- Chichén Itzá Deluxe with guide, buffet and cenote — One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, plus a swim in a cenote, in luxury transportation. A bucket-list day that books out over the holidays.
- Xel-Há All Inclusive with buffet and transportation — A natural aquarium where food, drinks and snorkel gear are covered. The best pick for families who want one easy, all-in day.
Punta Cana Deals: The Island Day Everyone Wants
In Punta Cana, one excursion tops almost every wish list — and it’s the one to lock in first.
- Catalina & Saona Island catamaran tour — Sail the Caribbean by catamaran, snorkel off Catalina and spend the afternoon on Saona’s white-sand beaches. Winter weekends fill up early, so this is a Black Friday priority.
Costa Rica Tour Deals: Rainforest, Hot Springs and Sunsets
December to April is Costa Rica’s dry season, which makes it prime time for nature tours — and prime time for sold-out dates.
- Rio Celeste & Rainforest Adventure with sloth watching — Hike to the impossibly blue Rio Celeste, spot sloths in the wild and finish with a coffee tour and lunch.
- Rainforest Hot Springs with transportation — Volcanic thermal pools in the middle of the jungle. The perfect slow day after an adventure-packed one.
- Luxury Sunset Cruise in Papagayo — Four hours of sailing in Guanacaste with drinks and snacks as the sun goes down. Ideal for couples and celebrations.
Jamaica Excursions Deals: Waterfalls, Reggae and the Reef
Jamaica’s dry season starts in December, right when hurricane season is behind you. Here are the three excursions worth saving.
- Blue Hole & Dunn’s River Falls Combo with lunch — Two of Jamaica’s most famous waterfalls in one day: swim in the Blue Hole, then climb Dunn’s River Falls.
- Bob Marley Nine Miles & Dunn’s River Falls — Visit Bob Marley’s birthplace and resting place in the hills, then cool off at the falls.
- Ocean Outpost All-Access Pass — Horseback riding, ATV, catamaran and snorkeling in a single pass. The best value for adventure lovers.
Cyber Monday Travel Deals: Book Your Airport Transfer
Here’s the move most travelers miss: Black Friday for tours, Cyber Monday for your airport transfer. Once your excursions are booked, Monday is the day to lock in a private or shared ride from the airport to your hotel — no lines, no haggling, no surprises when you land.
