Isla Mujeres Luxury Sailing: Adults Only or Family Friendly

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

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

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with hotel pickup, bilingual crew, open bar, lunch, snorkeling when weather allows, and free island time. Choose a family-friendly or adults-only departure, but confirm the option carefully. Guides such as Enrique, Christina, Judy, and Abraham have earned special praise.

“Great tour! Offering was clearly advertised, ride pickup from our hotel was communicated multiple times. We lucked out and had a perfect weather day. Snorkle and soak time was just enough. The boat crew was very fun, attentive, and gave tips on how to explore the island once we got there. Lunch provided was more than we'd expected and better than many other tours we've experienced.”

2.Catamaran with Open Bar, Snorkeling and Lunch

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

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres with an English or Spanish guide, national open bar, a short reef snorkeling stop, beach club time, and up to two hours to explore. Guides such as Ivet, Luis, Juam, and Romando are praised for keeping the boat lively and helping nervous swimmers.

“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.”

“Great job by all staff, they were very communicative & helpful! Spoke both Spanish and English fluently. and awesome locations. Good drinks, decent buffet, & a nice snorkeling experience. The only reason I chose to leave 4 stars is 5 is because when we showed up at 915am for a 10am departure (they recommended 930am) we didn't even board the boat until 1030 and departed at 11am. I'm sure that's normal but we could have slept in and saved another hour had they just communicated when their actual boarding was. I recommend wearing lots of sunscreen as well; You will be in the sun all day. If you are a…”
