February in Cancun
Cancun in February is normally a busy month, Canadians still make up the bulk of tourists at this time of year and as February draws to a close some Canadian universities have their Spring Break and the first Cancun Spring Break tourists of the year hit Cancun. Cancun hotel prices in February are often at their peak and stay that way until Mid April when prices reduce.
Because February is a busy time with hotel occupancy often reaching 90% this means that some tours and activities may be full if not booked beforehand.
Particularly popular tours that have limited capacity and fill quickly include Cancun Dolphin Swims and Isla Mujeres Catamaran tours . Make sure you book ahead for these to avoid disappointment.
