★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,515 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $149

Review of Los Cabos luxury sailing with snorkeling, open bar, lunch, whale sightings, hotel pickup, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“This excursion was super fun ! Food was great we were served drinks whenever we asked for them and they were yummy! Only thing is I wish we would have had more time in the water / had a better spot for snorkeling, they anchor quite far out and u just jump off the boat and swim around it, saw plenty of fish but It would have been cool to snorkel along the coast and see rocks and other things, we also only swam for about 35 minutes which didn't feel like enough time for us. Overall it was definitely fun but if you're looking for a more water based…”

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

“This trip was unfortunately a mixed experience for us. The snorkelling and the trip to Isla Mujeres were great but the transfer was far longer than it should have been (making what was advertised as a 5 hour trip a 9 hour trip) and the boat was so busy not everyone had a seat.”

Isla Mujeres: Catamaran with Open Bar, Snorkeling and Lunch

4.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,…”

Review of Cabo’s luxury catamaran whale-watching cruise, with whale calls, Arch views, drinks, snacks, pickup details, and practical tips.

“We didn't get any reminders or messages about the pick up time. One was sent in January but I checked the app many times and never saw the one they sent with a pick up time. We have done other tours through Viator and had good experiences. We always get reminders. We didn't even get a phone call when they got to the hotel. We were downstairs at that time and could have come right out. I will NEVER use Viator again. I expect a refund!!”

“What an amazing experience!! If there is one big excursion that you want to do on your vacation, let it be this!! From the party boat ride in, to the sight of seeing the tiki torches as you pull into the dock! You get this warm, fuzzy feeling as you start to feel immersed in their environment!! It's like a maze of experiences as soon as you set foot on land. You'll head to your candlelit table by the ocean and be serenaded by musicians as you enjoy a nice buffet dinner! Then the show! The main attraction!! The MC was hilarious and kept us on our toes! The acrobats,…”

Sail Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon with a small group, two swim stops, fresh fruit, beer, and expert local crews for $40.

“We took this boat trip on a nicely windy day. A good amount of wind means that the boat moves nicely without the need for the motor. On the positive side our crew was exceedingly focused on making sure we were safe and looked after. My wife and daughter had never been sailing before and at no point did they feel anything but super safe, even when the boat was tipped to its maximum. They prepared some fruit for us which was very nice, and we stopped twice for some swimming time which was really appreciated on a hot day. Perhaps the only minor criticism was that there was not…”
