Viator makes everything easier and I love their app. It only took a few minutes to get our Ultramar tickets. Love the ease of having everything prebooked. The Ultramar team is wonderful, as always!

    Refused tickets

    Jaime_F, May 2026
    I was refused my tickets upon arrival. I had to purchase new tickets to make it to my excursion. I would NOT recommend

    It is a waste of time to...

    Andrew_W, May 2026
    It is a waste of time to or buy tickets. You still need to go to the ticketing office to get your voucher for the boat. The ticket they send you do not get you on the boat. I had to wait I. Line for over 30 minutes for the ticket and missed the ferrry I wanted to get on.

    Excellent transportation

    Manuel_F, Mar 2026
    Efficient and fast. But get ready to be seasick. The schedule is a bit limited only coming every 2 hours.

    Great service!

    Ultramar ferry to Cozumel

    Jacob_O, Mar 2026
    Great ferry. Friendly staff and reasonable price. Tallboys of Tecate makes for a delightful ride. Check the schedule in person at the ferry terminal before booking if time-sensitive

    The GOOD with the BAD

    Jim_K, Feb 2026
    Upside....Ferry was clean, ride on time, prices reasonable. Downside....The walk through the mall was lengthy, too far. Redeeming my voucher at the Ultramar office very inconvenient. The

    Great ride

    Richard_H, Nov 2025
    It was very nice. The live music was a nice touch and we enjoyed that quite a bit. Would use this fairy again in the future

    Viator ticket stated it...

    TERRY_M, Nov 2025
    Viator ticket stated it was a 8am ferry ticket to Cozumel but the ferry doesn't travel until 9am on that day so I was going to miss my trip I was travelling to and had to book another ferry to get me there on time.

    Tori and Ryan’s ferry trip

    Victoria_M, Oct 2025
    Very nice ferry highly recommend it. If you get seasick you should put the anti. Nausea patch behind your ear. Other than that it was great

    Best photographer in Istanbul

    Tening_N, Sept 2025
    Seth was amazing! We loved the experience and everything turned out perfect. If you’re looking for a photoshoot in Istanbul, Seth service is a perfect choice.

    great 👍

    Jill_Y, Mar 2025
    Great ferry system. They let us exchange our Viator receipt into a ticket (which you have yo do) the day before.

    beautiful boat ride

    Brian_B, Feb 2025
    Enjoyed the live entertainment. Lots of room to roam. Ran on time. It was a great trip to Cozumel, saw many cruise ships👏👏

    Nice ride

    Andy_W, Feb 2025
    This was a nice ride on a nice boat. It was comfortable and there was an option to buy drinks and snacks if desired.

    Annual trip

    florence_p, Jan 2025
    Great way to travel to the mainland and back. Relaxing for most. Airport on both sides. Diving better in Cozumel.

    Jeep ride with Charley

    Meg_F, Jan 2025
    We were able to custom our tour to our liking. My wife and I are not very mobile. We asked our guide, Charley, if we could spend most of our time riding in the Jeep. He accommodated us very well

    Viator caused issues

    Gregory_G, Jan 2025
    Booking through Viator, the QR code required to board the ferry did not come through in the confirmation email, or on the Viator App. I was required to wait in line at the ferry terminal along with those who had not purchased advance tickets to get a boarding pass. This 20 minute wait forced me and my partner to sprint to the boat to make our sailing. A terrible system that should be so easy to remedy. If you’re going to sell me a ferry ticket, make it available to use through the confirmation or in the app. This was frustrating, stressful and unnecessary.

    You arrive by taxi near...

    Sergio_C, Apr 2026
    You arrive by taxi near the boarding terminal, convert your purchased voucher into paper tickets at the front desk and leave at the desired time. Same thing on the way back. The open ticket allows you to take the ferry at any time with convenience.

    A fuir, le billet était faux, nous n’avons pas pu embarquer !

    Oanell_B, Apr 2025
    L’horaire que nous avions choisi n’existait tout simplement pas, nous n’avons pas pu embarquer… la compagnie sur place n’a rien pu faire pour nous car c’était la responsabilité de Viator qui n’a malheureusement rien pu faire pour nous non plus.
