The crew and the tour guide were incredible. The snorkeling was beautiful and the island time was great. The trip does make for a long day but well worth it. The communication with the team was great using the viator chat and they quickly scheduled my transportation A+

We had an absolutely amazing time on our catamaran excursion in Cancun! The entire experience was incredibly well-organized from start to finish. Our family absolutely loved the snorkeling experience--the turquoise water was absolutely beautiful and loved by everyone. The staff was super responsive to all our needs and made sure everyone had a blast! Fun, safe, and beautiful. Highly recommend!

Itinerary

After an included transfer to a Cancun dock, your tour begins aboard a 100-foot (30-meter) catamaran tour boat with plenty of room to lounge. A scenic cruise takes you to the first stop of the day, where you can use provided snorkeling equipment to explore vibrant marine life at El Meco reef.

As the boat trip continues, enjoy unlimited access to drinks from the open bar while cruising toward scenic Playa Norte (North Beach) for another swim. From there, the day is fully customizable—you only pay for the experiences you care about most.

One optional upgrade is a buffet lunch at an Isla Mujeres beach club, where you’ll enjoy access to a clean and safe stretch of waterfront. Optional tours of the island’s historic center are great for shopping and sightseeing. After a scenic return cruise to Cancun, the tour ends with return transfer to your hotel.

It was awesome, I enjoyed the food and the place had a beautiful Isla Mujeres sign and hammocks on the beach. The North Beach and the town were also nice. Everyone on the team was very friendly, but the DJ/host was even better, great music. I had an amazing birthday.

Nahian_S, Aug 2026

Must know how to swim for snorkeling, food was great and the island was very beautiful ,highly recommend

Besides lunch, It was a great experience

David_C, Aug 2026

It was a fun ride. I like the snorkeling part. The entire crew was nice and professional. With beaches at Cancun being very dirty with seaweeds, Isla Mujeres offered sparkling clean beaches. I strongly recommend this tour to visitors who care about prestige beaches. Lunch was horrible though, maybe they should remove it completely from the package if they are unable to provide some decent meal to the guests.

Fun!

Gabriela_J, Aug 2026

Well-organized boat trip! Fun and experienced crew. You have 4 hours on Isla de Mujeres; something to keep in mind as you are planning.

10/10 recommend!

Selvi_Q, Aug 2026

What an incredible experience! Jonathan and his crew were so knowledgeable and friendly throughout the excursion. Transportation/pickup was super easy and accessible to and from the hotel. The snorkeling great but only for a limited time, which I didn’t mind because I didn’t want to be swimming in the sea for too long. We had plenty of time on Isla Mujeres and were able to explore the island as well as get some beach time in. I cannot recommend this excursion enough!

Left the resort for a day!

Stephanie_R, Aug 2026

We had such a GREAT time on this cruise! It was also a fun way to get off the resort and experience more of Cancún and Isla Mujeres. Overall, we had lots of pros and just a few cons, so let’s get into it! THE PROS: Upon arrival, registration seemed a little overwhelming at first, but the process moved pretty quickly and smoothly. Just be prepared to stand in line. Once you’re checked in, your boat assignment will be listed on your boarding pass. We specifically requested an adults-only experience, and the agent took care of us. Once you’re on board, the fun starts immediately! You’ll cruise for about 30 minutes to the snorkeling location. Our tour guide was AMAZING (also the name of our boat was Amazing) very helpful and attentive, and she made sure our group stayed together. Keep in mind, there will be several other groups at the snorkeling site as well. After snorkeling, the drinks start flowing! We tried what they called the “rum punch,” but y’all… it was basically orange Fanta with a little grenadine. NO THANK YOU! We stuck with beer for the rest of the cruise, and honestly, that was the safer option! Next, we headed to the north end of Isla Mujeres for a light lunch. The food was actually edible The drinks not so much lol. We stayed there for about an hour and a half before boarding the boat again and heading toward the main area of Isla Mujeres. NOW FOR THE CONS… 👀 Once we arrived at the main area, the energy of the crew definitely changed. We were told we would only have two hours on the island and needed to be back at the meeting point by 4:10 PM. If not we would have to find a ride or catch the ferry. When we booked the excursion, we were under the impression that we would have more time on the island and possibly get to enjoy the sunset. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. By the time we rented a golf cart, explored a little, and stopped for souvenirs, it was basically time to head back. That left no time for the beach, which was a little disappointing. Another thing I didn’t care for was how some of the crew members became pretty snippy with passengers regarding tipping toward the end of the trip. I personally felt that was unnecessary and unprofessional. OVERALL: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We still had a GREAT day at sea! 🌊☀️ For the price, we really couldn’t ask for much more. If you’re looking for an affordable way to get off the resort, snorkel, enjoy some drinks, grab lunch, and get a taste of Isla Mujeres, I’d say it’s definitely worth considering. Just manage your expectations about the amount of time you’ll actually have on the island. 😉 Would I do it again? Absolutely!

Isla mujeres beauty and fun.

Al_G, Aug 2026

The best part of our trip. Ths island is so beautiful and the crew is the best, they know how to have fun. Its really a great deal for the price. When I come back I will definitely be doing this cruise to Isla Mujeres again and I hope I get this same crew.

multiple boat slots to...

Kabi_P, Aug 2026

multiple boat slots to slide into. equipment, friendliness of staff, food was good. could have spent more time snorkelling and less time in the sun and at isla mujeres

Fantastic getaway!

Patricia_W, Aug 2026

We valet parked at the meeting place and it went great! Then staff directed us to the sign in process and it was fairly smooth as well!

Horrific

Shawnty_T, Aug 2026

It is absolutely terrible you get there at your time and it's a three hour wait to even get on the boat. I never even got on the boat.

Great experience!

Tom_C, Aug 2026

Maui was a great guide. The entire boat crew was friendly and very informative. The buffet was pretty good and my advice is to rent a golf cart for two hours to see the island.

Questionable human to boat ratio

Alique_B, Aug 2026

The experience itself was unique and a great way to see Isla Mujeres. Everything was very organized and structured, and the views were beautiful. The main downside was the number of people on the boat. It was *very* full, which made the experience feel more like public transportation with a view than a relaxing island excursion. The staff was nice, but the announcements weren’t made in English, so there were definitely moments of just watching everyone else and hoping they knew what was happening. The food (hot dogs and chicken) was… fine. Let’s just say it wasn’t the highlight of the day. Overall, a fun experience with beautiful scenery, but I would have enjoyed it more with fewer people, better food, and a little more personal touch.

Bethany_M, Aug 2026

OMG, what a mess this tour is! It was very unorganized. They schedule far too many people per boat for it to be enjoyable. They force everyone to go barefoot on the boat, you can’t even wear water shoes and they have this painfully uncomfortable popcorn style flooring, my feet were red all day. There were not enough seats on the boat, including spots for people to sit on the net. We were completely packed on it and it felt so unsafe and uncomfortable. The audio on our boat kept blowing out. The snorkel spot is surrounded by huge groups all trying to do it at once and the boat just takes off for 20 minutes. The lunch was okay, buffet style but the amount of flies was unbearable. Then Isla Mujeres….jfc it’s a mess! They dump 10,000 boats at the same pier so the beachfront is just not even accessible. People are just swarming to get back to boats or off and it’s so unorganized. Then they push you into this ridiculously overpriced souvenir shop, I tried to buy a single shot glass and the woman told me it was 600 pesos! All the same merchants just hound you for the full 2 hours, they push massages and vapes like it’s water and crack! Every two seconds they are approaching and touching. The massage lady put her hands on me multiple times. Then the crew yelled at us for 10 minutes about how we had to be back on the boat at 3:40, that it’s federal law they have to depart at 3:40pm. So everyone is at the gate at 3:30pm, they locked the gate at one pier, then had us wait another 20 minutes before we all got goaded to a different pier where another boat was also loading so the pier is packed, then it was still another 30 minutes before we left. I mean it was just a really terrible experience. I guess for $53/pp (which you have to add a $20/pp reef fee and if you get transportation that’s another $15/pp) you shouldn’t expect too much, but dang it was rough! Definitely would skip this and maybe find something worth losing a full day over.

Such a beautiful experience I love everything about it. Will definitely recommend to others. This app is the best.

Pros & Cons

Jennifer_H, Aug 2026

The catamaran itself was clean and very nice. Boarding process was fairly quick and simple. The crew was very polite and very entertaining. However, there were too many people onboard and we were packed in very tightly. Additionally, the snorkeling experience was less than to be desired. The group was too tightly packed in the water. There wasn’t any time to explore. It was very rushed and we didn’t get to see the reef. Once we arrived to Isla Mujeres, we were herded into the buffet. It was 90 minutes and included open bar. The food was ok but nothing special. The remainder of the time was free time. They have beach chairs with umbrellas 2 for $29 or Bali Beds for $40. The rentals are for 2 hours. We opted for a Bali bed for our family of 4. The bar service was great. Try the Crazy Coconut! SO good. If you are looking for a beach massage, I recommend doing it here rather than if you’re staying at a resort. Prices are amazing. $50-$60 for 1 hour. Ask for Sophia, she’s fabulous. The beach itself was absolutely beautiful and pristine. Beautiful blue and clear water. There is lots of people peddling trying to sell things on the beach but they are polite and if you say no gracias they leave you be. All in all, I would suggest taking the ferry to the island versus the catamaran to experience the island and beach OR invest in the extra $ to rent a private catamaran excursion. Beach was the best part!

Dont waste your time and...

Junior_T, Jul 2026

Dont waste your time and money Lots of hidden fees Old music No alcohol Food iis not good on the private island

Good experience

Nashaya_G, Jul 2026

Nice experience, the atv was a bit rough and the zip line was definitely for beginners. But everyone was friendly and it was fun. 3/5

A good ol time

Jalessa_B, Jul 2026

We had a FABULOUS time. I think this is one of the most affordable ways to visit a few different parts of Isla Mujeres safely and affordably. The boat was the perfect size for the number of people on it. Staff were kind and kept cups full of whatever you wanted! I think I personally was so tired by the end & would have appreciated a little quieter experience but I know lots of people were enjoying the DJ On board :)

Great time

Janie_H, Jul 2026

Great boat ride but the description is not truthful

David_L, Jul 2026

The boat ride was nice, and we all loved the snorkelling adventure (way too short but great!) Beware: the open bar is only on the boat, where limited beverages are available (beer, tequila sunrise, soda). Once you land on the island, you have 1.5 hours of buffet and bar (food is subpar, good choice at the bar). The same period of time let’s you use beach chairs. The worst ones in terms of location (behind the walkway, far from the water). After these 90 minutes, you need to pay for the chairs and bar service. I would have loved to enjoy the island’s beach while sipping a drink, but apparently the high price for this expedition is not enough for them. They want more of your money. My advice is to look for other providers that tell the whole truth. Who do not wait until you are on the boat on your way to the island to tell you the limitations. Why is there always a catch in Mexico? This does not help your reputation for tourists. State the rules upfront. How hard is it? Disappointed in the tour provider. Loved the boat ride and snorkelling.

Bad never again

Kimberly_D, Jul 2026

I’ve done one before I booked through the hotel this time I used Viator and the experience was terrible drinks were terrible not alot option to be all inclusive . The DJ only played Mexican music you have different culture on there

Cancún to Isla Mujeres

Jordan_E, Jul 2026

We chartered from Cancun to Isla Mujeres and could not have been happier. Absolutely incredible. 10/10

Phenomenal experience

Priscilla_S, Jul 2026

My family had an amazing time on this excursion. The staff really made the whole experience worthwhile. We will be back!

Good experience

Race_G, Jul 2026

Very good trip. Definitely worth it! I had a great time doing this solo. I went on an extremely busy day and the little shack was really crowded waiting to pay the docking fee and it was extremely hot. But other than that it was a good time.

It’s a full day so be...

Steve_S, Jul 2026

It’s a full day so be prepared. We enjoyed the snorkeling and the free time in Isla Mujeres. The private beach and lunch were a little less than described. The staff on the boat were excellent. They gave great service while keeping our safety a priority.

Snorkeling excursion this is not.

Moises_A, Jul 2026

Don’t go on this excursion if you are looking to snorkel. Chaotic and rushed too many people on top of each other and an impatient guide. I was kicked numerous times in my face and body by people kicking by me as again too many people in one area. The actual boat ride was nice and the crew were very attentive. The buffet was basic rice beans hot dogs, chicken, pasta so ok nothing special. The time in Isla Mujeres was nice just a lot of the same stores and hot! Very long day and on the boat after a long day had us squeezed in like sardines. Disappointed overall with this and would recommend you find a snorkeling excursion if snorkeling is what you are want to do!

The trip would have been...

Nick_C, Jul 2026

The trip would have been better but due to problems with the boat, we didn't leave until an hour after the tour was supposed to start. Nothing was communicated to us about the delay and no compensation was given for the hour we were shorted on our trip. Once on the beach at Isla Mujeres our guide said there were complimentary chairs and umbrellas only for us to be charged for using them. The guides were friendly and fun and we ended up having a good time despite the delay and bad communication. I understand technical difficulties happen and there's nothing the guides could do about it, but the company itself should have stepped up and given a partial refund to make things right.

We had an ok time. It...

Brennan_W, Jul 2026

We had an ok time. It wasn't the best experience, but it wasn't terrible. The boat was very crowded and so it made the snorkeling part difficult with some many people in the water at the same time. There also wasn't a lot to see when we snorkeled. The island was very pretty. I highly recommend getting a taxi to tour the island. Our drive ronew where to go to show us everything and was very helpful.

The snorkeling felt rushed.

Daniel_B, Jul 2026

The trip felt rushed especially the snorkeling. I then found out they drop you off at the island but they go back and forth for more group of people that is why they rush. We were on the krekon group and they were just very moody men. They are tired of people not listening to them but it's not everyone fault. Isla mujeres was the same. They are over the tourists. They over charge you with everything at least have a good attitude about it. You can go on your owe by getting the ferry it's cheaper and not get this expensive trip.

Not a cruise, a shuttle and unsafe practices.

nicky_g, Jul 2026

This is not a cruise, it’s more of a shuttle. And the snorkeling is a 15-20 minute forced swim. You are made to swim a route from the boat and back to the boat in an area with 10 other boats. You are not allowed to wade and take in the view. They yell at you to make sure you move. You are treated like cattle. My wife and two others were escorted back on the boat at the start because they cannot keep up. When we got back on the boat my 19 y/o daughter and 11 y/o son were missing. And when we yelled that we were missing our kids they yelled back that it’s our fault. It turns out they were absorbed by another group and were yelled at to keep up so they went with the other group. I waited for my other younger daughter so I don’t lose her and was yelled at to keep up with the group. This is a dangerous practice and shouldn’t be allowed. I’ve snorkeled several times around the Caribbean and you’re given ample time to snorkel and in a designated area and are usually the only catamaran around. This is a money grab and unprofessional. Additionally, the boat in the advertisement is not as described. It’s more like a ferry. You must grab all your things at arrival because you are dropped off at isla mujeres and they go back to grab another group. This is not a cruise, it’s a glorified shuttle with a short stop to say that they do snorkeling.
