Not the best excursion we have been on.
they won't let you snorkel if you are older than 59(no mention of that when signing up). You have to have eco-friendly sunblock which they will gladly sell you for $31! I will say the boat crew was fantastic.
Response from the operator: Hi Greg, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and we’re glad to hear you still enjoyed the experience and especially the service from our boat crew. We’re sorry if the age-related snorkeling requirements were not clear to you when booking. Certain activities can have specific safety and environmental requirements. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.

Great!
10/10 had an amazing time! Make sure to bring a hat with a strap or else it’ll fly off. Overall beaches were beautiful and service on boat was very good. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the perfect rating! We’re delighted to know that you enjoyed your tour with us. Our goal is to provide each guest with a memorable experience, and it’s wonderful to hear that we achieved that for you. We would love to have you back for another adventure—perhaps you’ll explore a different tour next time!

No show!
We paid for the trip waited an hour in the lobby, they never showed up and didn’t even bother to call and let us know they are canceling the trip. Not to forget we were told they might not even refund us!
Response from the operator: Hello Ms. Viktorya, thank you for your comment, we have checked and in registration, we have found that you have several calls from the reservation department and messages confirming your pick-up time, such information is so detailed that we even had your room number which was 5116. On the day of your tour unfortunately the port authorities closed the port due to the strong winds prevailing in the area, the port has remained closed on April 5th, 6th, and possibly tomorrow April 7th, you can verify this on the official website of the port captaincy of the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico. Regarding your refund, since yesterday was processed, it is important to comment that it is not immediate but it takes 3 to 5 working days, but in your mail, you already have the confirmation of the refund. We are sorry for the inconvenience but in these situations, we can not offer the service as it is an external reason and out of our control. We are very sorry for your rating as you did not really experience the tour and it only affects families who strive every day to offer the best experience. Hopefully, on your next visit, you will give us the opportunity to live our experience.

The crew and tour of isle mujeres was amazing but the food, snorkeling, etc was not good. The museum snorkeling consisted of seeing two hands and the food was completely flavorless. I appreciate the transport to and from tulum though.
Response from the operator: Hi Alejandra! Thank you very much for your preference and trust. Your feedback helps us to improve our service. We will pass your comments to our chef to improve the food we offer you; we hope to see you again in the Mexican Caribbean!

Amazing day in the sun!
Great staff and great tour! Had tons of fun and would definitely do it again! Would recommend to anyone who wants to see/have a good time!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your comments, how well you enjoyed this tour, we hope to serve you again in one of our tours that you can enjoy in the company of your family and friends. Kind regards.

Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Sam.
How much does Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Sam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres 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 Punta Sam is not rushed.
Is Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Punta Sam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres?
+
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 Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres 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 Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres?
+
Around 5 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres 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 Punta Sam 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 Punta Sam?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Sam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Tequila and Lunch, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Tulum & Coba with Cenote, Cave Exploration, Lunch & Tastings. 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 Punta Sam?
+
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 Punta Sam?
+
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 Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres?
+
Included: Use of Snorkelling Equipment and Lifejacket; Alcoholic beverages; Free time at Isla Mujeres; Catamaran sailing from Cancun to Isla Mujeres; and Admission to a private beach club. Not included: Gratuities; and Dock Fee, Isla Mujeres. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 299 listed pickup locations in and around Punta Sam. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Snorkeling Adventure in Isla Mujeres?
+
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.
