“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.”

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…”

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!!”

The views were amazing. We saw every shade of blue in the water. They made us all feel safe and calm during snorkeling even though we had newbies and some choppy water. We swam with fish all around us, saw sea turtles, starfish, stingrays and even a baby shark in a cave.The drinks were great and the…”

Thinking it was a great way to get familiar with place, we took the ride and it was a fantastic little adventure. The tour took us around the place making stops for us to jump into the water. The guides provided good narrative about teh place and its history. I can definitely recommend it to any travler adventurers.”
