“From pick up to drop off the service was top notch. Isla mujeres is a truly stunning. Really enjoyed the snorkelling & atmosphere on the boat followed by some free time on Isla mujeres. On the way back it’s a slow pace to watch the sunset & enjoy a party, staff were literally amazing, my husband said he would go again as we had a great day. It was a full day trip, we were in riviera maya and from pick up to being dropped back it was around 11 hrs so amazing value for money. The buffet and drinks which are included on Isla mujeres are for 1.5 hrs,…”

“The watch was great I’ll give it that the workers did an amazing job and I won’t take that award from them but it was also one of my worst experience ever. I was robbed.

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour with snorkeling, open bar, beach time, optional buffet, transfers, costs, and practical tips.
“The whole experience was beautiful and fun. Snorkeling was an amazing opportunity, but at first it did feel a little crowded in the water and we weren’t totally sure what to do. A bit more instruction would’ve helped. Also, make sure to tighten your life vest before jumping in — mine was loose since we were rushing, and it rubbed my arm pretty badly. After snorkeling, we headed to Isla Mujeres, which was definitely one of the best parts of the tour. Renting a golf cart (which is an extra cost) was totally worth it — it allowed us to explore much more of the island and really enjoy how…”

Review of Holbox’s Yum Balam boat tour, with Yalahau or Bird Island, Passion Island, Punta Mosquito, wildlife, price, and practical tips.
“We booked this activity last minute, as we already had a few excursions planned for our trip but after the whale shark excursion the day before with VIP Holbox, we decided to add the three-island tour to our agenda. Our guide, David, was absolutely incredible, and our captain, Edier, just so happened to be our guide for the whale shark excursion the day before (who we happened to love). They were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and you could tell how proud they were to be sharing their home with us. Our highlight was definitely the freshwater spring at Yalahau. It was an incredible experience that I’m SO glad we didn’t…”

Review of Cancun’s half-day catamaran to Isla Mujeres, with snorkeling, open bar, island time, costs, safety, and practical booking tips.
“Had a great time on this excursion! Pretty much it was only the weather that we wish we could have changed. It was too windy to snorkel, and took 1.5 hours to arrive to Isla Mujeres because of that. The three hosts (driver, bartender, guide) were so fun to have around and very informational! They gave suggestions and advice, but ultimately let us do whatever we wanted. They really made the trip fun! The 5 hour time limit was very quick and we didn’t get to explore Isla Mujeres at all besides eating at a restaurant. The photographer on board was pretty entertaining and fun too. Some people from our…”
