    Good Times

    Very small group which was our preference. Definitely not a massive party ship. Crew was friendly, drinks were strong and lunch was simple but good.

    Highlight of our vacation

    This trip was the highlight of our vacation. My 22 year old daughter and I are on a weekend trip in Cancun. We coordinated a private tour with Sergio who was flexible with us. Everything could not have been more perfect. The boat was amazing. The staff was incredible. They provided many snacks, drinks and lunch. The sandbar was clear and beautiful and we had the bonus of seeing a couple sea turtles. Our transportation was punctual. It could not have been a more perfect day. I will definitely book again if o return to Cancun.

    Response from the operator: Dear Gliatti: Thank you for your wonderful comments about your recent visit. We are delighted to hear that the service was attentive, and that you enjoyed the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing and unforgettable visit. Please don’t hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Marina La Bonita info@marinalabonita.com infomarinalabonita@gmail.com +52 1 998 126 2780

    Caution if you don’t know how to swim

    A sandbar and don’t have to know how to swim resulted in over 8ft of water getting off the boat! The tour guides tried to explain it was a sandbar but sandbars are like max 3ft of water. If you don’t know how to swim be cautious with this trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that the term "sandbar" can create different expectations. The sandbar we visit is a natural formation, and its depth varies depending on the tides, weather conditions, and the specific area where guests enter the water. For everyone's safety, our guides provide a briefing before entering the water, explain the conditions, and life jackets are available and recommended, especially for guests who are not confident swimmers. Your comments are valuable, and we will continue working to ensure our explanations are as clear as possible so guests know what to expect before the tour begins.

    Fun & Relaxing Excursion!

    My wife and I an amazing day with Angel, his crew, and another couple on the catamaran tour. The capain and crew were very fun, friendly and attentive - making sure we had our fill of beer, Palomas, or other beverages. It took us about an hour to slowly cruise north along the coast to the shallow sandbar where we relaxed, chatted, and swam in gorgeous, crystal clear water (with NO sargasssum seaweed) for another hour. Back on board, we shared snacks and sipped complimentary tequila while chatting with the other couple and the crew. We had a great time thanks to the beauty of the Caribbean, the hospitality of the crew, and laid-back atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 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 Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 417 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail?

    +

    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 Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail?

    +

    Around 146 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail 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 Puerto Morelos Secret Sandbar Catamaran Sail?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; and Use of floating mat. Not included: Gratuities; National Park & Dock fees ($20USD per person); Admission fees; and toallas (towels). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
