What are people saying about Cancun

Isla Mujeres Luxury Sailing: Adults Only or Family Friendly

Melissa_M, Jul 2026

Perfect Day on the Water

Our family had a beautiful day on the water with sun, snorkeling, amazing blue water! The Cancun Adventures crew were so fun and entertaining - they cranked up the music and kept the drinks flowing! They picked us up and dropped us off at our resort. It was a perfect day - would definitely recommend!

Whale Sharks Small-Group Tour in Cancun and Riviera Maya

Nicole_C, Jul 2026

Absolutely perfect!

We were picked up by a shuttle at our hotel and went to the dock where we left and drove out about 15 miles. About an hour and half. And swam with almost 70 whale sharks. It was stunning. Then we left and docked and swam a while with some party boats. We got back on the boat and enjoyed some authentic Mexican food. The whole day was what dreams are made of.

5-in-1 Cancun Snorkeling: Turtles, Reef, Musa, Shipwreck, Cenote

Pravi_G, Jul 2026

Loved it!

What an amazing experience. Our guide Mauricio was super helpful and patient. The waters were calm and we got to see turtles, loads of fish, a shipwreck, the coral reef and much more. Definitely worth the money. I picked this excursion in particular because it didn't have all the other stuff included like the tequila tasting and food and so on. So it was over in a few hours. I recommend picking a morning time slot.

Magical Cenote and Paradise Lagoon Snorkeling Adventure

Charity_P, Jul 2026

Memorable experience

What an amazing experience! This tour exceeded all of our expectations. The cenote we visited was adventurous and absolutely beautiful. The cool, refreshing water was perfect, and swimming through the dark caves made the experience even more exciting. Our guide shared so much fascinating information about the cenotes, which made the tour both fun and educational. The lagoon snorkeling was beyond anything we expected and ended up being our favorite part of the tour. We saw so many colorful fish while swimming in the crystal-clear, refreshing water. It was such a memorable and enjoyable experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire tour even better. We can't believe we forgot her name, but she was truly outstanding. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Reef Snorkeling in National Park with Beach Club & Lunch

Outstanding Family Snorkeling Adventure!

We booked our snorkeling excursion with Extreme Adventuring Cancun through Viator, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Traveling with two 6-year-old children, safety and comfort were our top priorities, and the entire team did an incredible job making us feel at ease from start to finish. The staff was exceptionally attentive, patient, and friendly, especially with our kids. They took the time to explain everything clearly, checked on everyone throughout the excursion, and ensured we all felt safe and comfortable in the water. Their professionalism and genuine care made a huge difference and allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The boat itself was also very nice—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Everything felt organized and professionally run. The snorkeling was fantastic, and it was wonderful to be able to share such a memorable adventure as a family. If you're looking for a family-friendly snorkeling excursion in Cancun, especially with young children, we highly recommend Extreme Adventuring Cancun. We would absolutely book with them again!

Riviera Maya Luxury Snorkeling Cruise with Lunch and Drinks

Austin_G, Jul 2026

Highly recommend, worth the time and money, weather permitting of course.

Towels are not provided, so bring one if you desire. The trip overall was great, it starts out with a safety briefing then you sale for 30 minutes to the first destination, a reef. You can then choose to go on a guided snorkel tour of the reef or just hand out around the boat to snorkel and paddleboard. About 30 minutes later a light lunch/snack is served and open bar. After about 1.5 hrs total at this destination they may moved us to an inlet area as the sea was becoming rough. We finished our trip at this location by paddleboarding/swimming/jumping off the boat. The staff was great and you can tell they want everyone to have a good time. One of the passengers became seasick and they were very helpful and attentive with making her feel better. Overall highly recommended, bring sunscreen since there isn't too much shade on the boat.

We had an amazing snorkeling experience thanks to Olaf and Cornelio! From start to finish, everything was well organized, safe, and fun. They were incredibly knowledgeable, made us feel comfortable in the water, and took the time to point out so much marine life we would have missed on our own. Their energy and professionalism really stood out, they made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. You can tell they truly care about what they do and about giving people a great time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

2 in 1 Parasail Cancun and Jet ski

Euella_F, Jan 2026

Loved it. My first time...

Loved it. My first time parasailing and jet skiing. Tour operators seemed overwhelmed by the volume of people for the experience. They did not interact or attempt to interact with us much. The taxi boat driver said he was too busy to take us back to our starting point so we had to walk through the Riu lobby to make our way back to the main dock.

With Transport, Shipwreck, Cenote, and Reef and Turtles Included

Anne_H, Dec 2025

Excellent trip

Snorkeling was so much fun! The guide was extremely helpful and calm, captain Barracuda drove the boat well and they even had an extra guide to take GoPro photos and videos. We got fantastic footage with the turtles and the many colorful fish around the reef, museum and shipwreck.

Mayan Jungle Tour: 5 Experiences in 1 Cancun Adventure

Lashunda_B, Aug 2025

Awesome!

This was a great excursion we added to our trip. All the tour guides were great and have clear instructions. It’s great for all ages. The speed boat hold two adults comfortably. If you have a small child they ride with you if it’s another adult they will have to drive another speed boat. We saw plenty of fish during the snorkeling. I would highly recommend. The food was just okay and our bus was waiting so no time to really eat.
