Review of Cancun’s $129 Isla Mujeres catamaran cruise, with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, island time, and practical tips.

2.Catamaran with Open Bar, Snorkeling and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,848 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $59

Review of the Isla Mujeres catamaran from Cancun, with snorkeling, national open bar, beach club access, lunch options, costs, and practical tips.

“First of all, the staff was what made this experience so wonderful. They were all absolutely the best. The catamaran was beautiful, big and comfortable. The snorkeling was beautiful although very crowded but it is a very special place so that was no surprise. We had a great time on the island thanks to the guide’s recommendations to go to the north beach. The beach club was my least favorite part and I could have done without but we still had a great time. I would do this tour again and will recommend it to anyone who will be traveling to Cancun.”

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran cruise with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, beach time, hotel pickup, costs, and practical tips.

“From pick up to drop off the service was top notch. Isla mujeres is a truly stunning. Really enjoyed the snorkelling & atmosphere on the boat followed by some free time on Isla mujeres. On the way back it’s a slow pace to watch the sunset & enjoy a party, staff were literally amazing, my husband said he would go again as we had a great day. It was a full day trip, we were in riviera maya and from pick up to being dropped back it was around 11 hrs so amazing value for money. The buffet and drinks which are included on Isla mujeres are for 1.5 hrs,…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 628 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39Best value

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour, with snorkeling, open bar, beach time, lunch options, transfers, costs, and practical tips.

“The whole experience was beautiful and fun. Snorkeling was an amazing opportunity, but at first it did feel a little crowded in the water and we weren’t totally sure what to do. A bit more instruction would’ve helped. Also, make sure to tighten your life vest before jumping in — mine was loose since we were rushing, and it rubbed my arm pretty badly. After snorkeling, we headed to Isla Mujeres, which was definitely one of the best parts of the tour. Renting a golf cart (which is an extra cost) was totally worth it — it allowed us to explore much more of the island and really enjoy how…”

“My friends and I really enjoyed this beautiful Isla Mujeres escape for half of the day! Everything outlined in the description was as expected, regarding timing and all required costs. (Optional costs are noted in my review below). The boat staff, operated by Cancun sailing, was very professional and knowledgeable and clearly explained everything throughout the day. They were also so friendly and helpful, always offering refills of drinks. Some of the drinks available besides water were margaritas, tequila sunrises, and rum punches. We got an explanation and choice as to whether we wanted to snorkel or just stay on the boat. The snorkeling was worth it, and we even…”
