Cancun half-day sailing catamaran to Isla Mujeres with guided snorkeling at El Meco Reef, open bar, and free island time.
Most Popular“Only 10 of us on the catamaran. Great day. Snorkelling was ok but hardly any marine life. Carlos and crew were great and the drinks flowed all the time. The beach at the island was amazing. Talcum powder white sand and crystal clear water.”
A half-day catamaran from Cancun to Isla Mujeres with snorkeling near reefs, snacks, and an open bar—plus real time on the island.
“Crew was very friendly and helpful and drinks were plentiful! My only one (big) gripe is that the crew didn’t step in earlier to address an issue. On the way out there we had a young couple on the boat and the woman/lady was drunk and was grinding on her partner in front of everyone…”
Puerto Morelos snorkeling with lunch: reef swim near Cancun’s second-biggest barrier, tacos on the beach, hotel pickup, extra $12 fees.
“We were picked up from our hotel right on time by their shuttle. The tour started with a 45 minute snorkel, which was only a few minutes boat ride. The crew got in the water with us and pointed out sea creatures they found near us. They had a photographer swimming with us and taking…”
ATV + zip-lines + cenote swim near Cancun with hotel pickup, lunch, bilingual guide, and clear safety coaching. Cash extras may apply.
“Didn't like this excursion. It was my son's birthday. Once arrived, no smile from the guy. We look like a pack of herd for them (money making only). The guy basically EXPECTED us to pay for the locker, etc. They gave us a hard time for our PROMISED water bottle at the end. I had…”
Horseback at a polo club, ATV jungle rides, treetop ziplines and bridges, then a cenote swim near Cancun. Pickup included.
“This tour combined zipline, horseback riding, atv and cenote swim all in 1 day. The guides we super friendly and fun. It was very enjoyable. The only reason it got a 4 star and not a 5 star was because the zipline portion was very beginners level. You get to walk across 2 short bridges…”
Early birdwatching in Puerto Morelos with a small-group walk through Ruta de los Cenotes, plus expert ID help along the way.
“We were only two people but the guide and the other huest were experienced birdwatchers. I certainly learned a lot. It wasn’t always easy to find the birds but Carlos gave us pictures and descriptions of the birds afterwards and I was amazed how many birds we actually spotted including a pygmy owl. Also saw…”
Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a premium catamaran with hotel pickup, snorkel time, an open bar, and free island wandering.
“Purtroppo a causa del mare non si è potuto fare snorkeling, che a mio avviso è quello che distingue l’attività da un normale traghetto per l’isola (che costerebbe pure meno). Se siete interessati al bere qui c’è open bar continuo, punto a favore ma solo se non siete astemi. Praticamente è una traversata in catamarano,…”
The cenotes and the reef, the Maya ruins, the island ferries and every way to spend a day on the Yucatan.
