1.Catamaran with Open Bar, Snorkeling and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,848 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $59Our pick

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour, with snorkeling, open bar, beach time, lunch options, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The guide, Juam, was knowledgeable and could talk in depth about all things we saw. I like his enthusiasm. The only feedback is to the organisers: Please use a better sounding mic/sound system. It was very hard to understand. I would also suggest to have a script written down and pass it so people can read it. There are people who don’t speak neither English or Spanish. So if it’s written in English they can translate it in their phone.”

5.CATAMARAN to Isla Mujeres, Snorkel & Beach Club by Xcaret

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 205 reviews · 7 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $74

Review of Xcaret’s Cancun catamaran to Isla Mujeres, with snorkeling, beach club, lunch, drinks, logistics, costs, and practical booking advice.

“I chose this snorkelling adventure because we were over 60 and the other ones wouldn't take people over the age of 60. So we were very surprised once on board to find out we couldn't snorkel and that it was a harbour master rule of 60 years of age. When I booked the tour I said in the comments our ages and that we were great swimmers but I think that since everyone has so little English that the comment was passed over. When we checked in though the lady didn't say anything about it when she saw our ID. Other people said the snorkelling wasn't good anyway because of…”

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres catamaran tour, with snorkeling, buffet lunch, open bar, beach time, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
