Review of Cabo’s camel ride, Mexican buffet, tequila tasting, transport, costs, ride time, food, guides, and practical booking tips.

“This tour was amazing, so fun, knowledgeable, organized, professional, and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery! The driver was very punctual, picked us up right at our hotel, and drove us 45 mins to the ranch. The camels were so calm, healthy, well behaved, and treated properly by staff. Seeing how much they cared for the camels was very wholesome and def gave us peace of mind. The camel ride itself was about 25 mins on the beach and we were allowed to take pics and record with our phones during the ride which we appreciated! The only time we couldn’t use our phone was when we were having professional…”

3.ATV Tour, Camel Ride, Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,380 reviews · from $149

Review of Cabo’s ATV, camel ride, tequila tasting, and buffet tour, with honest costs, photo fees, logistics, and booking advice.

“They split up our group so that more experienced riders could go fast, which was really nice for them! We had to pay an extra $80 each upon arrival for entrance fee and insurance which was a bit of a bait and switch. Lunch was great and the margaritas were strong! $1600 for 6 people total, which included pictures. You can’t take ANY pictures of the camels. I would give five stars if they were up front about price!”

4.Las Caletas Beach & Adventure Park with buffet lunch and open bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 755 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $159

Review of Las Caletas near Puerto Vallarta, with boat rides, family activities, buffet lunch, open bar, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Overall this is a great value for what is delivered. The venue itself is much larger than what I expected. Tons of activities to keep you entertained and an open bar. The lunch buffet was fantastic, staff on island were very friendly as well as attentive. The boat ride there is very pleasant, but coming back was a blast. The crew put on a lipsync rock show, all around good fun. Again, this tour really packs a lot for what it cost.”

6.Isla Mujeres Catamaran, Open Bar & Optional Buffet and pick up

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 628 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39Best value

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…”

7.Ek Balam, Chichen Itza, Cenote & buffet lunch Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 588 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $89

Compare Ek Balam, Chichen Itza, a cenote swim, and Mexican lunch on this 12-hour Playa del Carmen tour.

“Very well guided tour by our fearless leader Manuel (TAQUILLA!) and Issac. Our tour of Ek Balam was unfortunately omitted from the tour last minute, but the tour of the tiny village, cenote, buffet lunch, and ending with Chichén Itza was amazing. Manuel had such a great knowledge of all the amazing Myan mysteries of Chichén Itza (including being able to hear simple quiet talking across the sport field and the mysterious “birds” at the pyramid). I would highly recommend Amigo Tours to anyone thinking of doing a day of exploration off resort. Amigo Tours picked us up at our resort in the morning and dropped us back off at…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 302 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $164

Review of Xplor Fuego in Cancun, with night zip lines, cave rafting, amphibious vehicles, buffet dinner, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Ok so this was our third time going to Xplor but this time we took friends and we couldn’t wait to show them the experience. Prices were higher but they have new water slides everyone was very excited about - only thing is: we get there and you MUST have a closed toe shoe for the water slides. Not a damn thing in any of our information said this ahead of time (and as experienced water park attendees - that is not something we’ve come across before). We have attended Xplor twice before and always wore flip flops/sandals just fine or been barefoot for certain attractions. The choice was “buy…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 274 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $85

Review of KUZÁ Beach Pass in Cozumel, with buffet, open bar, beach access, activities, costs, tips, and honest value advice.

“We had a wonderful day at this all-inclusive beach resort and felt it was excellent value for money. There were plenty of sunbeds available, so we never had any trouble finding a spot. A waiter regularly came around to take drink orders and was extremely polite, professional, and attentive. He was always nearby, making sure we were well looked after throughout the day. The buffet restaurant offered a wide variety of Mexican food. The beach itself was clean and well maintained, and the water was beautifully clear. Everything ran very smoothly from start to finish. Just to be aware, the taxi cost was $30 each way and the journey took…”

Also, it was cool that Kevin was always telling us interesting historical facts. We liked the tour, recommend it to everyone 👍”

14.KUZÁ Beach Day, Buffet, Open Bar & Mexican Flavors Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Review of KUZÁ Beach Day in Cozumel, with a Mexican cooking class, buffet, open bar, beach time, costs, and practical tips.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”
