Sail on the Jolly Roger pirate ship in Cancun for dinner, unlimited drinks, a family-friendly show, dancing on deck, and fireworks.
“Everything was fantastic!!! The food is good, even a bit above average, which was a nice surprise, I was expecting something just ok. The show was FUN! I wasn't expecting them to REALLY jump off ship! And the dancing at the end was fun!”
Xplor Fuego in Cancun at night: cave rafting, treetop zip lines, amphibious jungle rides, and an included buffet dinner with pickup.
“Xplor Fuego was hands down the best adventure I experienced in Mexico. If you're looking for adrenaline-pumping fun, this is the place to be. Doing the activities at night added an extra level of excitement to the experience. From ziplining over the jungle, water sliding, cave walking, ATV riding, river swimming, and more, there was no shortage of thrills. The buffet offered some delicious food options as well. I would absolutely do this adventure again in a heartbeat. It was an unforgettable experience.”
Sail the Nichupte Lagoon on the Columbus galleon at sunset with live sax, a 3-course dinner, and a national open bar in Cancun.
“I went on the dinner cruise on May 2. Prior to booking the site said that passage onto the boat was wheelchair accessible and the boat itself was wheelchair accessible. When we got to the boat, there were steps up, which I was unable to do so one of the crewmembers had to carry me onto the boat. I felt sorry for him, was not his fault, but it was very awkward, uncomfortable, and embarrassing. I was then sat on a wooden bench that was higher than table height, my friend sat in barstools 5 to 6 feet from me, so I was basically separated from others on the boat.…”
Cancun sunset sailing with hotel pickup, open bar, and a light dinner snack board on a small catamaran.
“Awesome cruise! Unfortunately, I got sick at no fault to the cruise line. I was dehydrated and did not eat. Ivan was attentive to my needs. He was so kind, considerate and compassionate, and it was helpful to have someone of his knowledge at such a difficult and unfortunate time. My family took lots of photos and shared that the music and food were all great! They shared that seeing the sunset was the best. I will make a point to do a repeat on my next visit. Thank you Ivan for your kindness and compassion at such a difficult time. It will never be forgotten.”

Maya temazcal purification, cenote swim, and tortilla dinner from Cancun with hotel pickup. Smart-casual. Plan for a long ride.
“Although the Tour says that it is four hours, that did not include the 2 1/2 hours drive to get there and 2 1/2 hours back. The driver never said a word, to the point that we thought we may be kidnapped! The tour also was advertised as small group however that is just how many people are in the van. Once we got to the site, many other vans drove up so the actual tour was nearly 40 people. Not what we had signed up for! Other than that, the actual experience was very interesting and the food was better than it needed to be.”
Cancun sunset dinner cruise on a galleon-style yacht with open bar, live sax, and a 3-course lobster/steak dinner.

Sunset sailing on Cancun Lagoon aboard a classic Galeón with live sax, dinner, and free national open bar from Marina Aquatours.
“The experience in itself was great. I’m giving it 4 starts because: Con: 1. There is docking fee they don’t tell you about. For my husband and I paid $26! Why isn’t that just included as part of the booking?? 2. The drinks were alright, not amazing though... they do have a big variety so that was a plus! 3. The food was okay, for $178, I didn’t think it was amazing. I’ve had better for way less! They did a very good job on my request to cook my steak more. The cheesecake was delicious! 4. The music was really loud and it took some getting use to. 5.…”
Private 51' Leopard yacht sunset dinner in Cancun for up to 2. Unlimited premium open bar and onboard 5-course dining—choose the route.
“Everything went very smooth and was better than imagined. Minuses for: The location they provide is off and you might end at the wrong end of the marina, creating callenges to get in. Not all information get passed on to the crew, especially regarding allergics. But thank's to the crew and especially to the chef, it worked out fine.”
