Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise - The first look at El Arco and the Cabo coast

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

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…”

2.Isla Mujeres Luxury Sailing: Adults Only or Family Friendly

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,418 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129

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

3.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.”

My purse, phone, ID, perfume everything from that island I will not recommend but if you do go please be careful and watch your back. Lots of greed”

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!!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,521 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,161 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $37Best value

Review of Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon sailing tour, with cenotes, swimming, snacks, drinks, guides, value, and practical booking advice.

“A 3-hour trip over a stunning lake, including drinks, fruit and two lovely swim breaks. What’s not to love? This was definitely the highlight of our visit to Bacalar. The lake has many amazing sights, from the history-laden Pirates’ Channel to Bird Island and the cenotes. Our crew members Abraham and David were incredibly nice and made sure everyone was happy and well cared for. They had many cool stories about the lake and the surrounding region and were happy to share both these and personal stories. I cannot recommend taking a trip with them enough.”

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

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…”
