Isla Mujeres: Catamaran with Open Bar, Snorkeling and Lunch

1.Catamaran with Open Bar, Snorkeling and Lunch

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

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a lively catamaran with national drinks, a short reef snorkel, beach-club access, and free island time. Guides such as Ivet, Luis, Juam, and Romando have earned praise for keeping the day fun and safe. Choose carefully between basic, lunch, transfer, and VIP options.

“We had the best time ever! We were asked if we wanted to upgrade to the VIP experience for $60 per person and it was totally worth it! We switched from a catamaran with 80 people to one that was supposed to have 40 but ended up having less than 20 people on it! We also got an extra hour to spend on the island and I would totally do it again!”
