Sail Cabo’s coast on a luxe 4-hour cruise with open bar, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and a gourmet lunch near Santa Maria or Chileno Bay.
“Sailing was nice, staff was great but the snorkeling was terrible. We went right in front of a beach so had limited area and not much fish to see. Paddleboards didn't have enough air in so couldn't be used. Waited too long for our ride back to the hotel”
Half-day catamaran from Cancun to Isla Mujeres with open bar, snorkeling, onboard lunch, and free time on the island, adults or family options.
“Well organized. The employees were friendly and accommodating. The ride was smooth. The lunch (sandwich) was good for what it was. Drinks were a lol watered down unless you asked for just a shot or a shot and one mixer. They took requests for the music. I did not snorkel but my friend did. The…”
Isla Mujeres catamaran with open bar, reef snorkeling, and Playa Norte beach club. Full day from Cancun with optional lunch.
“It was an amazing experience. For the snorkeling they took us to a great place. The coral reef was vibrant and full of life. Isla Mujeres was simply beautiful. It's definitely worth a visit. The lunch was also good. And our crew created such an amazing atmosphere on the ship, that it was truly a…”

“The captain and crew were fantastic, the ride was smooth and fun with one exception, I was under the impression that it was adults only when I booked, but there were at least 5 kids under the age of 7, some crying and being a bit disruptive. The food at the buffet was delicious. We…”
Romantic Los Cabos sunset sail with a 50-foot boat, open bar, light appetizers, and time by El Arco’s sea lions in a small group.
“We were picked up at our resort by Cabo Adventures and then checked in at the marina. Ronnie was our guide/bartender/safety instructor, Aldo was our photographer, and Uliseo was the captain. They all did a phenomenal job making the night a huge success. Ronnie was attentive with drinks (mimosas, margaritas, beer, etc) and checking in…”
All-inclusive catamaran from Cancun to Isla Mujeres with snorkeling at El Meco reef, Playa Norte, beach club lunch, and open bar.
“My wife got terribly sick the night before the tour. I texted the operator asking if it would be possible to reschedule. They never responded. I understand that they plan their tours and availability but if they have the space, a little flexibility would go a long way in terms of customer service. Second, regardless…”

Was a little concerned for kids ahead of time but there were many in the group and as long as they’re pretty open to some thrill (like liking roller coaster rides etc) it’s no problem. An amazing value as there is…”

Sail Bacalar’s Laguna de los Siete Colores on a small-group cruise with two swim stops, fruit and beer, and English-speaking crew.
“Leo and Maria took us and 6 more people on this sailing tour. We did the 3pm tour to avoid being out in the sun at peak UV hours, as you can't use suncream on the lagoon. It was really nice, the wind helped and we were able to have the sailing experience. They provided…”
Catamaran to Isla Mujeres with El Meco snorkeling, open bar, meal, and hotel-zone transport, plus free time on Playa Norte.
“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…”
