Great Excursion
Great experience, well looked after by the crew. The drinks on board were flowing and you never had an empty cup. The snorkelling was good fun. The included food wasn’t great and was the only down side
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you felt well looked after by the crew and enjoyed the drinks and snorkeling. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the food and will share it with our local team for review. We hope to welcome you back again soon! — Boat Trips Club Team

The crew was amazing!!!!!
Amazing time!!!! Love the pick up and drop off option. It was so much fun and the crew made you feel very comfortable like we’ve known each other for years!! You also get to take pic on the catamaran and be ready to get sexy and give it your all. The crew will make you feel so confident, it was the best. We were able to purchase all the photos. It was a great experience and got a chance to snorkel with sea turtles!!! That was the cherry on top.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the pickup and drop-off, the fun atmosphere, and especially the welcoming crew who made you feel so comfortable. Getting to snorkel with sea turtles sounds like the perfect finishing touch! We hope to welcome you back soon. — Boat Trips Club Team

Don't waste your whole day on this tour
The beginning of the tour was okay, got dropped off Isla Mujeres to explore they gave us 2 hours which was fine then after that it was downhill.. went to eat lunch at a buffet where the food was gross hardly ate. Got a burger and the meat was rock hard and fries were stale. At the same time the workers kept trying to sell us stuff. Spent 2 hours at the buffet for no reason. Then off to snorkel and by that time we were over it but excited to swim in the blue water... we only swam for about 20 min or less with only goggles and no snorkel. It was hard to keep holding your breath. Didn't see much. Also snorkels in a weird spot no clear blue water. Hardly swam at all and no free time to swim and enjoy the water. Then got back on the boat and back to Cancun it took an almost 2 hours to get back bc of how slow they were going. They also tried to sell us photos they they took for crazy prices! 1 day photo $40 when we had swam with whales sharks the prior day and we bough photos and videos for $80 total. Scam. The drinks were super watered down. Felt like we just waisted a whole day for nothing. We were really excited to swim the blue water and hardly did any of that. Don't waste your time on this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the food, snorkeling time, and overall organization. Snorkeling time can vary depending on sea and safety conditions, but we understand the activity should be communicated and managed clearly. We’re also sorry the buffet quality did not meet expectations. Please note that photos and videos are optional services offered locally by third-party vendors and are not part of the included tour experience. Your comments regarding the sales approach, food, and tour coordination will be shared with the local operator for review and improvement. — Boat Trips Club Team

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cancun is not rushed.
Is Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 385 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch?
+
Around 135 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cancun can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cancun within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Early morning Chichen Itza Tour: Cenote and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cancun?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cancun?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cancun. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Cancún Catamaran to Isla Mujeres + Snorkel, Open Bar & Lunch?
+
Across 385 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, recurring themes include photo opportunities, food and drink. The views and photo stops come up again and again.
