Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres for snorkeling, an open bar, beach-club time, lunch options, and two hours to explore the island.
“This tour was incredible from start to finish. Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the experience. All of the staff were super friendly, welcoming, and helped create a fun and upbeat vibe throughout the day. The open bar and music on board added to the good energy, and the buffet lunch on the island was also great. Once we got to Isla Mujeres, hiring a golf buggy was 100% worth it—such a fun way to explore the island at your own pace. My friends and I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a…”
Review of Xcaret’s Cancun to Isla Mujeres catamaran tour, with snorkeling, beach club access, food, drinks, costs, and practical tips.
“I chose this snorkelling adventure because we were over 60 and the other ones wouldn't take people over the age of 60. So we were very surprised once on board to find out we couldn't snorkel and that it was a harbour master rule of 60 years of age. When I booked the tour I said in the comments our ages and that we were great swimmers but I think that since everyone has so little English that the comment was passed over. When we checked in though the lady didn't say anything about it when she saw our ID. Other people said the snorkelling wasn't good anyway because of…”

“Bus never arrive to pick up. Waited for an hour at pick up point although paid for hotel pick which got changed the night before by the team. No one picked phone. Bad communication.”
Review of Cancun’s catamaran to Isla Mujeres, with snorkeling at El Meco, open bar, North Beach time, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“Started out great with the exception that the tour was scheduled for 10AM and the morning of at 8:30AM- I asked a question about the extra fee and confirmed location and found out they wanted us ther by 9:30AM. Poor Communication. That in itself would not qualify 1 star - it's what happened after we go to Isla Mujeres. They said they would help us find a golf cart - our catamaran guide took us to a man on the street and he said he needed cash, we took out cash, gave him our driver's license then he had someone take us on a cart (only 2 of the 7…”

“Excellent experience, with a wonderful, experienced crew. We had a small group and lucked out with perfect conditions for snorkeling and sailing. Highly recommended.”
Review of the Isla Mujeres catamaran tour from Cancun, with snorkeling, buffet lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, costs, and practical tips.
“The latest reviews are accurate. Everything about the excursion was terrible from start to finish even after messaging the operator with questions prior to attending with our young children 8-10 years of age. Please avoid if you have a family. We boarded a full van full of mosquitoes at pick up and drop off. The booking is misleading stating a 15 ppl max giving off the illusion that this excursion could be more intimate than others that are posted. We were packed in like sardines. The crew are not child friendly. Flies covered the food. I wish I could go into more detail but there’s not enough characters. Steer far…”
Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour with snorkeling, open bar, buffet lunch, transport, and practical fee and timing advice.
“The boat is NOT the one in the picture first of all. It has no shade in the front, you have to sit in the back if you want some shade and even then they make you move due to, too much weight in the back. Second the prices are cheap on here cause when you get to boarding it’s a $48 docking fee (EACH person 4 years and up) which is ridiculous. We go every year on boat rides and the most we paid for docking is $20 a person. The boat is so small for as many people as they pack on there. It’s not comfortable to voice…”
Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour with snorkeling, Playa Norte, buffet lunch, open bar, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.
“The crew is extremely friendly and accommodating. Though there is not much time for snorkeling, there was enough time to do a little exploring at each stop. The punctuality of other people will determine how much time you get at each destination, unfortunately. So, if there is someone lagging behind, they deduct time from the excursion instead of penalizing the person(s) holding everyone up. Plenty of alcohol is served and the catamaran is lively and fun for the most part. It will depend heavily on your group and how inebriated they get, I suppose. Overall, it was a great time and I am glad we had the experience.”
