    It was a good expirence...

    It was a good expirence in general. Pancho and Brazil were great.. but William the photographer has no reason to be there.. he takes pictures for a high cost and he should take care of what and how he says it... It seems he is looking for party instead of giving a good service..

    Lots of add on costs!

    In all honesty it was the simple pleasures that made this a great experience for me. The beautiful beach at isla mujeres. White sand crystal clear water no seaweed at all. U do have to pay to rent beach chairs and if u get hungry again u have to pay for food at the restaurants. Watching the sunset from the boat was beautiful. I didn’t like the price hike to rent a golf cart. 100$? Walk down the street and get one for 30$ instead. On top of the cost from Viator for this excursion, it’s an additional 53$ at the marina for something else. A fee maybe? Can’t remember. The alcoholic drinks were so watered down you weren’t able to taste anything but juice. Absolutely Terrible. The buffet was also very sceptical. I would advise to bring ur own bottle of liquor and snacks.

    It's a long day....

    The crew was amazing! Daniel was so sweet & helpful & tons of fun! However....we were there in Sept & it was SO hot. There isn't enough shade on the catamaran for those who didn't want to bake in the sun. Also, not enough filtered water. Normally our group does enjoy lots of cocktails, but it was just too hot to drink alcohol that day. Lunch on the private each was ok....definitely not great. Our group of 4 booked an extra golf cart tour of Ilsa Mujeres with another group of 4 and Daniel led us around the island & pointed out lots of fun things we'd never find/know on our own. Each golf cart could seat 4 people. But my main concern, as a passenger in the back, was that there was no bar or protection in the back as most of the other golf carts on the island had. I was so worried about falling off the back on the bumps that my husband & I moved to Daniel's golf cart because I felt so unsafe. Thank you Daniel for offering the switch! Overall, it was just a long day. We chose transportation to the dock from our hotel (def recommend) which picked us up at 9:05 then right to the dock since we were there final pick up. But lots of standing around time waiting at the dock before we left. Once on the water, we went to the snorkeling site which was amazing! Water was crystal clear & we saw underwater ruins & tons of colorful fish. Daniel & the crew kept a close eye on us all for safety & were always present. Once back on board we went to the lunch site where there seemed to be a lot of waiting time. Back on board to move to a different part of the island where we were for about 1 1/2-2 hours. Then more waiting to get back on board. We just felt like it could have been a more streamlined, shorter excursion -- but maybe because it was so hot we were having a hard time. We were the first stop on the way home from the dock but didn't get to the hotel until almost 6:30. Like I said, it was a very long day! If you do the trip, be prepared for the long day and LOTS of direct sun. We knew about the extra fees at the dock at the dock due to another reviewer but were also reminded of it by text from the company. The fees were an add'l $53 USD/person which we paid in cash upon check in. The price for the excursion was very reasonable for the long day - but my group would have been happier if it was 2 hours shorter

    Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

    How much does Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 52 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 Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!?

    +

    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 Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!?

    +

    Around 18 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! 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, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with 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 is included in Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks!?

    +

    Included: Free time at Isla Mujeres; Spinnaker flying (weather permitting); Entertainers; Soda/Pop; and Air-conditioned vehicle. Not included: Photos package; and Local ecotaxes (docking fees) and service fee (850 MXN per traveler). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 414 listed pickup locations in and around Cancun. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! offered in?

    +

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Cancun's Best: Catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Snorkeling & Drinks! if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
