Nice experience.

Miki_P, June 2023

Boat was very clean and ride was great. Snorkeling was great, but not too many exotic colourful fishes. They docked at Isla Mujeres and let us spend 3 hours on our own, but the guide did not give detail explanation, what we can do or how to get there. We did not bring enough cash or card and did not know what we can do with limited funds. Water was so beautiful though!

Ladies trip!

Carlos and team did a fantastic job of ensuring we had the experience of a lifetime! The snorkeling was amazing, the food and drinks were delicious and shopping at Isla Mujeres was so fun!

Isla Mujeres Boat Ride

Fariha_K, May 2023

My experience with this excursion was good but there were some hiccups that i would like to address. Overall, I want to say that the boat ride was awesome. All the men on the boat was courteous and really attentive. Oliver our tour guide was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable and the sweetest man. I told him in the beginning of the ride that I had a dietary restriction, I could not eat pork. Once my food came out, he rushed to me and told me what not to eat. There were many people on that boat and I wasn’t really expecting him to remember. Everything was great but I would like this company to let the receptionist of the hotel know where they will be picking us up from. There needs to be a good streamline of communication. Viator advised us to be in the lobby but our receptionist of the hotel told us to be in the front gate. Viator did not call my personal phone to advise that they would be here and they actually ended up leaving us at first. Thankfully they were able to reschedule us but the lack of communication was not fun. Also, would love some music on the boat next time!

Awesome trip. So glad we did it!

Jessica_B, May 2023

Great time with tour guide Miguel & team! He spoke three languages!!! The trip was totally worth it - I loved the snorkeling and swimming in the waters before docking at Isla Mujeres. Was at the island for 3 hours and loved visiting Secret Beach, it was beautiful. The excursion was a major highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

Fun day

Todd_V, May 2023

Savino and crew were great,nice catamaran, Isla mujerres was nice,a little to much pressure sales,snorkeling was fun ,reef is dying a slow death unfortunately

Disappointing

JOHN_R, May 2023

The docks were packed with people. Chaotic at Isla Mujeres. Snorkeling was sub par in that there was not much to see and the group was crowded. Swimming was just sitting on a float in the water. Too much time given for free time on Isla Mujeres; it made the trip feel more like a ferry to the island than a day sailing and snorkeling. Plus, we were always under power, even when the wind was decent. I did not think it was worth it.

The boat is old, nothing...

cezary_s, May 2023

The boat is old, nothing luxurious about, the restrooms are horrible Snorkeling took 15 min, the ride about 30 min, they left us on the island for 3 h 45 min with no plans what to do there

Book this excursion!

Victoria_O, Apr 2023

This was a fantastic experience! I did a similar tour in Cancun a few years back that I booked through my hotel and this is substantially better! The staff was amazing, the boat was beautiful and the excursions were an absolute blast! The food provided on board was delicious! We were pleasantly surprised that there was a photographer on board so we got amazing photos of our group on the boat and in the water. Definitely recommend!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Brittany_S, Apr 2023

This luxury catamaran was awesome. So much to see & the crew was so informative! We had such a wonderful time! Thank you Bryan for being a great host!

fun in the sun

Hannah_S, Apr 2023

Carlos and the crew were phenomenal. First off, CARLOS! He was soooo fun, attentive to everyone, and spoke THREE languages. Every single person on the catamaran was happy and had clear instructions at each stop. The crew ALWAYS came around for drinks. They also made us an amazing lunch before we got to Isla Mujeres. It was top notch the best excursion we booked while in Cancun. I cannot speak for other boats but if you have Carlos you will 100% have the best day.

Unreliable

Catherine_R, Mar 2023

Despite being on the list of participants for the driver to pick up at the hotel, they wouldn’t let us on the bus. As a result, we missed the whole day. We even called the main number, customer service, and they would not send the driver back to get us. Even when he was just minutes away.

Good trip!

Jay_R, Mar 2023

Snorkling&Isla Mujeres - everything was pretty good& I feel a good value. They are def on a schedule, but it was a good way to fill a day Vs another day at the pool

Too crowded on boat and...

Aurelie_H, Mar 2023

Too crowded on boat and while snorkling expensive not a lot of snorkling, fishes good music xxxxxxxx

Great experience.

Henry_H, Mar 2023

Great guide and activity arrangement. There is relax time and water activity time. Gave you enough time to tour around the Isla Mujeres by yourself - and it’s a beautiful island. Crew are very friendly and informative. The photographer took great pictures underwater (if you dare to dive in) - pleasant surprise.

Love snorkeling!!

Anne_D, Mar 2023

Snorkeling was great. Crew was very attentive. Stop at island was okay. Should have been shorter though. 3 hrs is way too long. There is nothing to do unless you are interested in being bothered by locals trying to get you to buy stuff.

Luxury Catamaran 5 hour tour

Troy_P, Mar 2023

Experience was great! Snorkeling was fun! A person does need to be a good swimmer but seen some colorful fish, statues and coral. We had a good lunch and drinks on board. Walked around the island and got some souvenirs. Staff was great!!

Great Catamaran ride and crew that knows how to have a fun day on the water

Jonathon_R, Mar 2023

Very accommodating and attentive crew. The host was extremely courteous and informative of the area we snorkeled in. The photographer was extremely kind and made for a fun and memorable experience. These guys knew how to keep the party going while maintaining a safe and structured environment. Will definitely go again and recommend to anyone in search of a fun day excursion.
