8 Day Book of Mormon (Land Cruise)8 day land cruise - June 23, 2012If you love Cruising – You Will Love This!! - SOLD OUT!Special Book of Mormon seminars & tours with guest EducatorWhy do we all love to cruise: You only unpack once – all of the meals are included – fun nightly entertainment – quiet places to relax and read a book – wonderful ports of call and so much more. It’s time to step up to the next level – a fantastic “Land Cruise”. When you take a 5 star resort, locate it on one of the best beaches in the world, add the ameniities cruises offer – you end up with a vacation that is better than a cruise. We asked our staff which they would choose, a relaxing Caribbean Cruise or a relaxing Caribbean “Land Cruise” – 100% wanted the “Land Cruise”. Below is a comparison between a Caribbean cruise and a Caribbean “Land Cruise”.

Upon arrival to Cancun we will depart for your “all inclusive“ beach hotel. You will have a free afternoon to relax and enjoy your beautiful beach resort. This resort has all the amenities you could hope for. All your food and beverages are included, unlike on a cruise ship where drinks are extra.

Large and beautiful swimming pools, stage shows at night, (an 18 hole championship golf course and motorized toys are extra).

Day 2: June 24: Optional tour to ruins of Tulum and Coba (B,L,D)
Today after breakfast we will offer our optional side tour to the ruins of Tulum and Coba. We will travel down the coast to the ancient Mayan City of Tulum. This beautiful walled city was built on cliffs overlooking the blue-green waters of the Yucatan Caribbean. Be sure to have the significance of the Descending God above the temple door explained to you and the special date evidenced by a solar event at this site. From here we will travel to ancient ruins deep in the Yucatan jungle at the Coba ruins. Only recently restored, these ruins will amaze and enthrall your senses. Our travels this day will end back at your beach hotel.
Day 3 & 4: June 25 & 26: Relax and enjoy Riu Resort or explore on your own (B,L,D)
Today is a free day to do whatever you want. You can shop next door in Playa del Carmen, or take the high speed ferry over to Cozumel (snorkeling, ruins, museum and shopping). You can visit Xcaret or Aukamul, or go cave diving in a nearby Cenote. Play golf or go horseback riding, deep sea fishing or parasailing. The list of activities is almost endless in this land of 1000 pyramids. Tomorrow you can do it all again, or simply loose yourself in a book on the beach under your favorite palm tree.

TheKukulkan Pyramid in Chichen-Itza which known as “El Castillo” (the castle), is one of the new seven wonders of the world. You will also have a chance to visit the ruins of Ek Balam. The startling and amazingly well-preserved sculptures uncovered at Ek Balam are exciting to both newcomers and repeat visitors of Mayan sites.
