“Such a great trip with these guides! We had so much fun snorkelling, had great food, and a nice beach day. We ended up with a fantastic guide who made the experience so fun and easy. A great trip if you need a day planned out for you. Snorkelling was so fun, we ended up buying golf carts to explore Isla Mujeres which was so worth it. The beach was great and the the sand was white and clean. The guides made sure you always had a drink in hand!”

4.Isla Mujeres Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Open bar and Transport

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,275 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $85

Sail from Playa Tortugas to Isla Mujeres aboard a catamaran with reef snorkeling at El Meco, music, a national open bar, and a buffet meal. Guides such as Javier and Sergio have earned praise for friendly service, though sea conditions, food quality, and pickup communication can vary.

“We had a great time, however, the snorkeling was not good. There was very little to see plus they dropped us off in an area where there were probably about 10 boats of other snorkelers and there was a strong current and a lot of waves. It was not an ideal snorkeling situation. The drinks were flowing for sure! The buffet was not the best….hot dogs, undercooked chicken, rice, beans, salad, fruit and a few other items. At they place that we stopped at for lunch, we were given an hour and a half, but after eating, there was not much to do. Again, we made the best of it…”
