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

Luxury-style sailing to Isla Mujeres from Cancun with hotel pickup, snorkeling, open bar, and time on the island. Adults-only or family.

“Do NOT book with Cancún Adventures! They modified this excursion after we arrived- stating we could sail but not swim or snorkel due to high winds. We were guaranteed a refund if we decided not to board the boat. They LIED. Extremely unprofessional and deceptive to the customer. Viator should do better researching the companies they represent. DO NOT BOOK ANY EXCURSION WITH CANCÚN ADVENTURES- BEWARE!”

“It was an awesome day cruise. The people are very, very organized, safety, conscious, and extremely nice! The snorkeling was great! The beach time and time on your own was the perfect length before you go back to the boat and back to the home port. I highly recommend this catamaran cruise for anybody that's looking for an excursion on the water and having a great time with a lot of other people from other countries also looking for having a good time. It's a must do!”

“We were told to arrive at 9.30 for 10am trip. It was like a cattle market and we didn't leave until nearer 11. Uncomfortable trip. Not enough seating, netting damaged so couldn't sit on it. Spent hours sitting on hard deck. On the way back we decided we would sit inside to be comfortable but there were children sat there even though we booked adult only. On the plus side the staff were very friendly and constantly asking if you want drinks. Edwardo was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was not the experience we were hoping for lack of seating our backs were hurting very uncomfortable even if they supplied…”
