The whole trip was wonderful. They pick you up at your hotel and take you to a beautiful beach. After getting on the boat there was an open bar with great drinks and plenty of room to walk around and enjoy the gorgeous sights and refreshing ocean breeze. The staff was excellent and we met some wonderful new friends onboard. We would definitely do this again; it was perfect.

Picked up from our hotel at 4pm. Boat departed at 5:30 and returned at 7:30. Didn’t get back to our hotel until 9:50pm.
4 hours total spent in a van…. For a 2 hour excursion.
This was probably the worst experience of all time and I’m thinking about cancelling other excursions I have planned because this one went so terribly wrong.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to spend significantly more time in transportation than on the sailing excursion itself, especially when you were looking forward to enjoying a relaxing evening on the water.
While transportation times can vary depending on hotel location, traffic conditions, and scheduled pickups for other guests, we recognize that the overall balance of travel time versus excursion time is an important part of the guest experience. We regret that this aspect of your tour negatively impacted your enjoyment of the day.
Your comments are valuable to us, and we will share them with our operations team for review as we continuously look for ways to improve our services and better set expectations for our guests.
We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you will allow us another opportunity in the future to provide the exceptional experience that Cancun Adventures strives to deliver.

The pick up time at the hotel was not conveyed until the day of the pick up, when we no longer had email access internationally, despite my emails to confirm that 5:30 was the pick up time, not the sunset cruise start time. So we arrived at the pick up location one hour and 10 minutes late, despite every piece of communication for the preceding week reading 5.30. We were all disappointed, and wasted $270 because they couldn't provide an accurate pick up time until we had left town and email access. seem very disorganized.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the pickup time and understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must have been.
We regret that the communication did not reach you clearly before your tour date, especially while traveling internationally. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, and we understand how upsetting it must have been to miss the excursion as a result.
Your comments are very important to us, and we will review our communication procedures internally to help avoid situations like this in the future.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Not the romantic sunset cruise we were expecting! With 50 people packed on to a catamaran, it was the most awful experience. We left the harbour and headed into the choppy sea when the person who was hosting told me and my 72 year old husband that we would get wet sitting at the front and would be better sat at the back. We had to get up at the front of the boat with nothing to hold on to other than a wire which was 2 foot high off the deck. My husband (who is a non swimmer) was terrified as he stumbled along with other passengers trying to hold on to him as he passed them. I followed, very unsteadily and frightened that my husband was going to go over the side. There was nothing to hold onto as there were other passengers standing along the side of the boat where we had to walk. It was a very traumatic experience for us both. The other people on board just got very drunk and rowdy. Not what we were expecting at all. Certainly not like the photographs in the advert. The other guests were not interested in the sunset, just getting drunk and then throwing up over the side of the boat!!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting and uncomfortable this must have been for both you and your husband.
Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we sincerely regret that you felt unsafe during the transfer on board. This is not the experience we aim to provide, especially for a relaxing and enjoyable sunset cruise.
We also regret that the atmosphere on board did not match your expectations. We understand how important it is for guests to feel comfortable, particularly on what should be a calm and enjoyable experience.
Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with our team to review safety procedures and overall guest experience.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Professionally run, gorgeous boat, great crew, awesome light snack and drinks, on time pickup and drop off.
Sunset was amazing with the captain knowing just how to position the boat and use the sail.
Judy_C, Feb 2026
We've experienced several catamaran sunset cruises. This was "ok" at best. Nothing special. The boat, a nice catamaran, was small and cramped for 30 people. It's suited for 15-20. The cabin area below was cramped. Food was limited. The charcuterie board that the crew served was so-so. The meats and cheese had little flavor. The bread was stale. The only crackers served were Ritz. The best aspect of this cruise is that the crew served drinks regularly. They told us nothing about the area - only safety precautions and crew introductions at the beginning, and a "thank you" and long-winded pitch for tips at the end. When booking for boat excursions in the area in the future, we'll stay away from Cancun Adventures. Additional competition would be welcomed. I give this cruise 3-stars - barely.

Wonderful cruise! Had fun. Drinks and nice light snack! Good vibes and entertainment. Someone even proposed on the boat. Congrats to them !
Barb_J, Jan 2026
Overpriced for what we got.
Too many people on the boat. Not a whole lot of sitting room on the bow.
Charcuterie was so so
Didn’t spend much time out on the water since the seas were a bit rough but we loved the ride
MikeSpurr, Jan 2026
The crew are very proficient in delivering the drinks and food while the boat is rocking. Let them serve you and relax.
Rahul_T, Jan 2026
The actual boat ride / service was great. The pick up and drop off was unnecessary and we could have saved 3 hours of our lives. It was an absolute mess / unorganized and terrible communication.
Ryan_B, Dec 2025
Capitán Martin, Paola, Mario, David and Sandy. Were very welcoming and made it an unforgettable evening! Really great team and very nice boat
sundeep_t, Dec 2025
Great sunset and viewing experience. Chill excursion with a decent charcuterie tray. Would recommend
Emily_F, Oct 2025
This was really fun. I booked it for my boyfriend’s 30th because I thought it was going to be romantic. I’ll be honest it wasn’t as romantic as I thought it would be, there were 4 drunk ladies in our van ride and on the boat with us that were kind of annoying. When I got off the van with a dress on, one of them made a rude comment about me being overdressed. Based on the description and the pictures of the trip I thought that was the vibe. There were maybe like 4-5 other couples so I think those women booked the wrong boat or maybe were given a different description, but maybe the company should just try marketing this to couples. Besides that, the drinks and food were good and the pictures came out great! Pics were so pricey, if you can, try to bargain with them. But to me they were kind of worth it for the memories, and my boyfriend and I looked really nice so I couldn’t turn them down. Music wasn’t great, they need to figure out a better playlist situation. All in all the staff was really great and the experience was nice!
Maurice_H, Oct 2025
this was a great cruise and the staff took great care of us . Pick up was on time and the boat was luxurious
Chad_S, Oct 2025
The cruise was so nice! My wife and I booked the night before and we were picked up promptly the next day. A bit cloudy but still a good time.(Lighting show over the mountains). Drinks were cold and well made. The charcuterie board was very good as well. Staff was nice and attentive. Perfect activity to spend our last afternoon in mexico. Don’t listen to the sour reviews. Sour people = sour reviews. Paola, Enrique, Chile & Mario were amazing. Also the photographer takes great pictures :) 10/10 recommend.
JENNIFER_R, Sep 2025
Such an amazing trip. The staff were wonderful. The charcuterie plate was incredibly good. Wholly recommend this company for anyone considering a sunset cruise
Audrey_W, Sep 2025
The crew was amazing. The vibe was very chill. Great music too. The boas was big and the crowd size was small which made it so nice. The food was good also. I loved that they had a person taking pictures alao.

April_J, Sep 2025
Wonderful relaxing ride to enjoy a beautiful sunset. If you have time and can take this tour I recommend it
BARBARA_G, Aug 2025
This is the first “luxury” cruise I’ve ever been on and didn’t like. I’ve been on PLENTY all over the world. The seating was horrible (packed 12/14 people in one tight area) so it was really uncomfortable sitting so close to strangers. Took extremely long for drinks (after asking me twice what I wanted smh), food was a light charcuterie board (shaped cute) and no entertainment (only soft music). Guessing this tour was catered towards couples- it should have been advertised as such. THEN we didn’t have a good view to see the sunset!
BERYZ_L, Aug 2025
Well well well, this sunset will be the best thing in your vacation. You should make sure that your sailing be guided by Celine . She is all a show and make everything posible so you can enjoy this tour.
Tony_W, Jul 2025
This is a must do. Crew was amazing and so much fun.! Ended the night jumping into the ocean. I highly recommend
