Exclusive Isla Mujeres Tour in Catamaran! Sailing from Cancun

An honest review

I did not have the best experience. When I first areived to check in I was given the run around. The instructions on where to meet or who to look for was vague. It took over an hour before someone could find me in the system because no one ever provided the boat company my reservation number. Aside from the late check in due to poor miscommunication the overall excursion was a great time

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We sent the locations and explained who to look for, however, you arrived at a different place. Your waiting time was not for an hour, it was less that 30 minutes and it was because of a late arrival. The name of the Catamaran place was provided too. It's always important to follow instruccions calmly to avoid confusions We are glad to know that you had a great time at the tour, Isla Mujeres is a gorgeous place to visit and to explore. We are sorry for the issues for the check in, we hope to welcome you again soon

Boat Antonio de Turavia

Great day we spent in Isla Mujeres, Riviera Maya, with the crew of the Boat Antonio. We had a great day, we didn't lack anything. The crew very attentive at all times and always showed great professionalism. The exquisite personal treatment and what to say about those rich combinations that made us thirsty and cheerful. We had a good time on the boat with the crew, very fun and very good people. The walk along the coral reef snorkeling is an unforgettable experience, and if the guide runs it, as it was in our case, makes the experience an incredible memory. Thank you Barco Antonio, you are great. I hope we meet again and, if not, you have very good luck and above all... Never change. A hug from Soria, Spain.

Response from the operator: Gracias por sus comentarios. Los esperamos pronto

Quick daylong getaway from Cancun

Nice little island. The south point was good some good picture points there. Highlight of the trip was the golf cart type rental by which you could drive around the whole island.

DO NOT book this trip!!!!

I’m not even sure where to start this is so bad. To start it says the tour is 4 hours. Take heed this is not a half day trip. On our last day I was specifically looking for a tour that we could do in the morning and enjoy our afternoon and this proved to be very wrong. We are on this tour currently and after being told departure was at 930am we waited until after 10 to board. Fast forward 4 hours. We weren’t dropped for lunch until 2 pm at a deserted island. Lunch took 20 minutes and was HORRIBLE. Fast forward another hour. Lunch ended 40 mins ago, there is literally nothing to do, it is 3pm, and we’re told we HAVE to wait till 4pm to leave. Seriously?? Everyone is ready to be done but we’re trapped on this island with no way off. Unreal. There goes our last day in Cancun. Wasted. Now let me get to the detail of the missing hours in between boarding, 5 hours, and being trapped. After a long check in process and waiting to board a boat that says has unlimited free drinks they continue to try to sell you drinks in the waiting area. As well as push sales of merchandise. Finally we board. This process is fine. It’s probably the best part of the trip because at this point you still think you have some fun awaiting you. They immediately start serving “drinks”. Just sugary water that they say have alcohol in them. They don’t. Oh and no beer until after snorkeling. No reason given. You slowly work your way across to isla mujeres to snorkel. Oh wait. They forget to mention that conditions have to be PERFECT to snorkel. A slight breeze today and it was unsafe so what we thought would be the highlight was scrapped. I should have seen it coming when they started serving beer half way there. They did however still let people get off the boat and swim for a couple minutes. Yay!! I can do that at my hotel for free. And why can we swim but not snorkel?? Now the kids are crushed because that is what they wanted to do. However, no big deal. Next stop Isla Mujeres. They dock, and take you off the boat directly into a store that you can get 50% off for shopping there. Really? Another kickback for bringing in tourists? We got out of there quickly and tried to enjoy some of the town with the whopping 45 mins we had left. Stopped at a street vendor and had a great torta. Good thing we stopped because as I mentioned lunch was very late and very awful. Other than that the island was just eh. Lots of high pressure sales for junk you’ll throw away when you get home. We did try to make one purchase but the dock timeline was so strict we had to run to not be left behind. I now wish they would have left us since we are trapped on an island still waiting to go home. Next up, lunch. Yay!!! Uh, no. So bad. Other tours I’ve taken they cook for you on the boat and you have a great time getting to know others on the boat. Not this time. They drove us another 25 minutes and dropped us a beach cafeteria. We got to stand in line with people from other boats to scoop slop onto our plates. Yummy. I think this area maybe used to be cool but it’s just a broken down water park that is closed currently. It’s like those creepy closed carnivals in horror movies. Yikes. Well, we’re still waiting to leave and I’ve run out of nice things to say. Just beware. It appears that this company just changes their name on TripAdvisor once they get too many bad reviews so that they still get business. Trust me. I’m watching and will repost as necessary

mass diving

the catamaran ride and the beaches on Isla Mujeres are not bad, beautiful landscape although everything very oriented to tourism and that you spend beyond all inclusive. Scuba diving is a tease, a scam. more than 80 people at a time in the sea alone of our boat (about 10 boats more around the same thing), with 3 guides, the bad-tempered leader, normal by the pressure of carrying so many people, to see a few fish and some underwater sculptures without any value, giving flaps to each other. on the way back from the tour and partying on the boat, outrageous pressure (total harassment) to get tips. Not recommended.
