Review of Cancun’s half-day catamaran to Isla Mujeres, with snorkeling, open bar, island time, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.
“Bam and crew were awesome,catamaran was super fun,drinks were endless,tour of Isla Mujeres was also fun!!”
Review of Cancun’s $49.99 afternoon catamaran trip, with reef snorkeling, open bar, snacks, two hours on Isla Mujeres, and practical tips.
“Everything was great! Antonio, Omar and rest of the crew were so accommodating and open to feedback! If you are not a strong swimmer, you may want to stay back and take pictures during snorkeling. The current is strong & this particular tour does not provide full bodied life vests, just a support belt that goes around the waist. This is not a negative reflection, just a heads up on what to expect. Ask questions!!! :)”
Swim with whale sharks off Cancún, enjoy a small-group boat ride, lunch on Isla Mujeres, and practical tips on costs and timing.
“Décevant le guide n’a fait aucun effort d’écoute et de compréhension vis à vis de nos différents demandes aux cours de la journée. La visite avec les requins baleines s’effectue pas groupe de deux personnes ce qui laisse peu de possibilités de savourer le moment. Le repas servis sur place dans le bateau et totalement irrespectueux vis à vis du prix que nous avons laissé ( servi dans un petit pots avec 3 chips et un véhicule) je déconseille fortement”
Snorkel Puerto Morelos reef, enjoy tacos by the sea, and explore town on a budget-friendly Cancun day trip with hotel pickup.
“Pick up from moon palace was 8am, Travelled to Puerto Maleres, snorkelling for just over an hour, tequila tasting, tacos for lunch and then hour to visit shops. Back at hotel for 3pm. Good trip.”
Swim in a clear Yucatan cenote, snorkel near sea turtles, and explore the Mesoamerican Reef on a small-group Cancun tour.
“Great way to spend a half day seeing what this part of Mexico has to offer! The first part was going to Akumal to swim with sea turtles with a guide. That part was ok. The turtles were adorable and plentiful but being with a big group wasn’Read more”
Review of Cancun’s half-day ATV, zipline, and cenote tour, with transport, lunch, costs, pickup advice, and practical booking tips.
“Didn't like this excursion. It was my son's birthday. Once arrived, no smile from the guy. We look like a pack of herd for them (money making only). The guy basically EXPECTED us to pay for the locker, etc. They gave us a hard time for our PROMISED water bottle at the end. I had to show them a screenshot of it. The restaurant waiter EXPECTED tip when the service wasn't good. All in all, it was horrible. I had to sit behind the guy on the ATV ride. Of course I didn't buy my picture because he's in it. I bought my husband and son's picture on the ATV.…”
A private four-hour Puerto Morelos fishing trip with trolling, bottom fishing, drinks, local crew, and fish cleaning included.
“Took a family fishing trip. The sea state was slightly choppy. Roberto and Rafael worked non-stop to get us on fish. Had 5 rigs out constantly. We ended up with several Bonitos and a Mahi mahi. At the end of the day Rafael prepped the fish for us as well. Watching my brother-in-law and nephew catch their first saltwater fish was unforgettable. Thank you for the wonderful memories and we will definitely be booking another charter with you”
Ride horses, ATVs, ziplines, bridges, and swim in a jungle cenote on this active five-hour Cancun adventure.
“This tour combined zipline, horseback riding, atv and cenote swim all in 1 day. The guides we super friendly and fun. It was very enjoyable. The only reason it got a 4 star and not a 5 star was because the zipline portion was very beginners level. You get to walk across 2 short bridges and zip thru 3 or 4 short lines and it wasn't high at all. No excitement or adrenaline rush there. Overall experience was fun for the family. Definitely recommend if you done any of the activities mentioned.”
Review of Cancun’s private six-hour fishing charter, with gear, crew, drinks, fishing grounds, pickup choices, costs, and booking advice.
“Jorge and Lorenzo were amazing. We took the 6 hour excursion and the first 2+ hours they were hunting for the right spot. Once they found it, we caught 6 fish, including a barracuda and a trophy nurse shark over 85 in long. They worked hard to ensure we had a wonderful experience. I can't rave enough about the effort they put in. Thank you both! The boat was comfortable”
Reach Chichen Itza early with a guide, explore El Castillo and Maya temples, and return to Cancun after a history-filled half-day visit.
Review the six-hour Puerto Morelos birdwatching tour, with expert guidance, small groups, Ruta de los Cenotes, and practical booking advice.
“We were only two people but the guide and the other huest were experienced birdwatchers. I certainly learned a lot. It wasn’t always easy to find the birds but Carlos gave us pictures and descriptions of the birds afterwards and I was amazed how many birds we actually spotted including a pygmy owl. Also saw Toucans and an unusual cuckoo bird. Very productive experience.”
Review of a private half-day Tulum tour with hotel pickup, skip-the-line entry, a personal guide, and optional boxed lunch.
“It was an amazing experience. Our guide Jackie was very knowledgeable and was able to check all boxes that we wanted to experience.”
