4.Afternoon Half-Day Catmaran Sailing and Snorkel Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 71 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $49Best value

Spend about five hours on a 37-foot catamaran from Cancun to Isla Mujeres. You’ll snorkel with provided gear, enjoy guacamole, chips, salsa, sodas, and an open bar, then explore the island for about two hours. Guides such as Carlos, Felipe, and Jose have earned praise for their friendly help, though sea conditions and afternoon crowds can affect the experience.

“Great half day trip getaway. The boat ride was great! Snacks & drinks were provided and all the staff was very friendly! You get 2 hours on Isla Mujeres, which was perfect. The island is super crowded and you’re better off just walking to the beach where it’s less congested and peaceful to see. Staff recommended restaurants on the island. The seafood one was delicious, get the catch of the day. Sadly, we couldn’t snorkel because the tides were really strong and it wasn’t recommended as a first time experience. Overall, we had a great time!!”
