Snorkeling Adventure At Isla Mujeres Includes Lunch And Open Bar

This was a great trip! We upgraded to the platinum package. It was well worth it. Nicer catamaran, less people, more alcohol, wonderful buffet on the beach

Tour booked with Funtastic Adventures. Started the day by being contacted by tour guide 30 minutes prior to pick up time telling us to meet at a different location NOW!! Tour was sold as all inclusive food and drinks on the boat and at the “beach club.” However, it was only all inclusive for an hour and a half. After that you had to buy everything. You also have to rent beach chairs or sit in the sand. The buffet was awful. My chicken taco included skin and bones. Thank God there was some edible salad and room temp pasta with watered down sauce. I could not detect any alcohol in any beverage. The bathroom offered complementary buckets of water to flush the toilets. The “beach club “ was just an overcrowded sliver of beach. We could have stayed at our resort and had more room with beach chairs, food and drink provided all day. The only reason I gave this a 2 is the natural beauty of the water and the ride on the boat. Snorkeling consisted of being handed a mask and shouted at to hurry up and get in the water and swim as fast as you can to the pick up spot. Snorkeling area was overcrowded with other boats making the water too choppy to enjoy.

Amazing trip! The views are breathtaking, the boat crew was fun and energetic, snorkeling was great, lunch was delicious, the open bar was a plus, and having time to explore Isla Mujeres gave us an opportunity to see another part of Mexico. It was a great deal for the price too! We highly recommend it!

The trip is okay, I think the trip is overrated for the price we pay per person. We had a boat ride to isla mujeres, 25 minutes snorkel, which both were nice, then had a small assorted food plate as a small lunch along with an open bar (which was ok nothing too good) then swam for 30 minutes in the ocean which we enjoyed and had 3 hours to explored the island by ourselves which the island itself doesn’t have much to offer unless you pay 500-800 pesos for 1-2hrs for the golf cart rental to go to the south part of the island. I think for the price we pay its just too much for the above mentioned activities. Just a thought it didn’t satisfy what we payed for. But then KUDOS to the customer service/ transportation/logistics department as we left a pair of black sandals that they were able to drop it off at the hotel before going to the airport. I appreciate the customer service and logistics team KUDOS to the team. The overall experience was still good just those few comments they have to improve.

We booked through Nexus tours. Do not buy this. The Island is beautiful and worth visiting but this was not a snorkeling experience, it was hurry up jump in, hurry swim between all the other anchored boats and passing boats, hurry,hurry, keep up and we are back to the boat. Crazy! Also, how the excursion on the island is presented as if it’s w us or not at all and you’ll b bored otherwise. The audacity to go person to person collecting a tip. No thanks

Once welcomed we were offered coffe & juice, that was nice! The first guide explained how things would go, it was very clear and he brought it in a nice and funny way. A propper welcome! Afterwards, we had to pay 36 dollars for a sunscreen that would not endanger the sealife and choral reefs. They had a sign for the substances that weren't allowed to be in your average sunscreen. After checking we thought our sunscreen was legal but some guide made up that a substance in there wasn't allowed so we were forced to buy it. 1,5 hours later, we finally could board our catamaran. The crew wasn't really excited or didn't really connect with the passengers at all. They had a crappy communication system that malfunctioned and therefore we couldnt really hear a thing. The first stop was the snorkeling adventure. This was an absolute joke. The guide just dropped into the water and told us to follow. It was a group of people following a dude that kept yelling 'just amazing' (name of the boat). We came all the way from Europe, excited to do some propper snorkeling. We ended up seeing nothing but seagrass and a couple of statues. For me, this part wasn't even worth a dollar. Wouldn't recommend. After the snorkeling, they offered us a first drink. We saw in the revieuws that the drinks were okay but not anything special. I can confirm. We got a couple of drinks but there was no 'open bar' experience. Still the crew didn't give us a propper welcome. For me it looked like they didn't like their job and were pushing throug another day. Finally we made it to the Island, there we we had a giant buffet and free drinks. This part was lovely. 100% Would recommend! After 3 hours we went back on the boat and went to another island where you could buy souvenirs and stuff. We didn't really bother and went for a drink. I would rather have a longer stay at the first island. In general the communication and transportation was immaculate, the trip itself wasn't worth the money. Kind regards Elia

We did this trip as a family of 4 which included my 2 daughters 7 & 9. Angel Franco was our guide for this trip and made sure we all had a great time along with the rest of the crew. It was a great way to go and see isla mujeres which is well worth a visit and had more then enough time to explore the island before heading back. Lunch and service on board was really good and would definitely recommend.

One of our best weather days in Cancun was our catamaran trip to Isla Mujeres. We stay at Villa del Palmar & normally take the local Punta Sam Ferry across, so this was a nice switch up. We got the boat at the dock, just off the resort beach, so it was super convenient. The staff were friendly & hospitable. The boat was clean. A few from our group enjoyed the snorkeling. Everyone wore a waist floatation device, as required. We enjoyed our day on the water to the fullest! I will list a couple of “CONS” though: - docking fee to be paid before boarding @ an additional $20USD per person. We did know this in advance but an additional expense nonetheless - we were told maybe 22 people on board and that’s not the case. Boat felt very crowded & overbooked. - two hours on the island is not enough time if you are wanting to explore and rent golf carts. Felt rushed. - drinks are quite watered down but that’s probably not a bad thing! LOL

This is a great day trip. The crew was awesome and on top of every detail. The beach club at the island was wonderful as well. I highly recommend it

We booked our tour to Isla Mujeres through Amsa in our hotel. sailing was really nice, the staff was funny, polite and very friendly. We had a short break for snorkeling, after we was served with the lunch on board. Drinks was offered all the time during the trip. Isla Mujeres didn't meet our expectations. It was over crowded and we didn't like it but experience with the "Cancun Adventures" was very pleasant 💖💖🥰🥰Good job guys.

description has many flaws. boat had no catamaran net, was extremely overcrowded, there was no "open bar" (only a watered down drink in a pitcher being passed around), no music until the last 20 minutes, etc etc... this was a bad experience.

You still need to pay upfront. Transportation is not included in price even if you pay here for transportation. You wait 3 hours to get onboard . The boat drives off 300 miles away when you snorkel and you need to swim at your own risk. There is no open bar (you drink with what they have and drink is super water down) . No food included. No free time on the island . The workers tries to force you to book “private tour” to follow them in a golf cart for a extra cost. It’s not even the same boat on the pictures. We had to take a taxi to get back to our hotel . On the other hand , isla Mujeres is a lot of fun. I recommend taking a ferry boat (cost 20$ per person).

So we paid for the platinum which was supposed to be 20 people only turns out there were 45 people on the boat, the buffet was similar totally not worth paying $45 per person + $15 per person for some kinda tax we payed $230 for 4 people and received bad service and lies. I had gone for my first time back in October and the platinum was actually that 20 people on the boat a welcome drink better snorkel experience I will not be doing this excursión again atleast platinum

My friends and I booked this tour, we had a great time, the food was delicious, the reefs very beautiful and the crew guys made us have the best time. I definitely hope to come back to the Caribbean soon.

It was my first time snorkeling in Isla Mujeres and it was an incredible experience with my friends, without a doubt the first reef was my favorite. The attention of the guides was excellent from start to finish and the buffet was delicious!

I have done some excursions to Isla Mujeres, but this is the best of all. The pick up service was on time and we took full advantage of the day. My friends and I love water activities and we really enjoyed the snorkeling time. During the sailing on the catamaran we had a great time, thanks to the excellent service of the captain and his crew. We highly recommend this excursion!

great experience the island is a rip off in jewelry it’s expensive silver! but the excursion all and all was great our bout tour lady n staff was everything and the kept me safe when i was to drunk to continue swimming !

So the description of the activity is NOT WHAT IT WAS AT ALL!!!! The description was sail boat ride, snorkeling though a unique under water museum, lunch on the island and a tour/ shopping experience of the island......First off the open bar does not refer only to the lunch buffet. It was a full on " How trashed can everyone get on a boat". The snorkeling was a horrible experience. It was "everyone get in the water now !!! No fins, we don't have time for that now we shall yell, whistle and point where you need to go... But do it fast, swim as fast as you can and get back in the boat"... I saw nothing but sea grass and 1 fish. After the Olympic swim team tryouts we got back on the boat where the drinks kept coming...coming and coming!!! We don't drink so it was very awkward. The crew however was very nice and brought us water as there were no other non alcoholic options. The food on the beach was great and the waiter was very attentive with our delicious virgin drinks. We then went on the golf cart ride that was very rushed. We stopped for 15 min and were told don't bother walking out to the point/temple because it would take to long and wasn't worth it. Again I was whistled and pointed at to be herded like cattle back to the cart. I have never wanted to smack someone so badly...lol No other stops were made but the views were spectacular. Once back on the boat, we sailed to the other side of the island to shop at the town but we're told you have 15min to pee, shop, taste tequila and get back. At this point everyone is trashed and a few puked. We made our way back to the dock with loud party music and tons more booze of all types being past around, bottle mouth pour shots ect. So, my suggestion is they rename the tour to something like "Party boat booze cruise with a quick look at the isle de mujeres. Activities include awkward power swim, drinks, drinks and more drinks, cattle herding role playing game that will piss you off and a beautiful sail boat ride. I can't imagine that even if I had been plowed I would have had a good time. I probably would have ended up in jail for smacking one of the guides. Not a good time!!!

My wife and I booked this excursion as part of our honeymoon, and were not disappointed. Once we left port, the crew (and our emcee, Javier) was all about keeping the party going and keeping our drinks full. The snorkeling portion felt a bit rushed- maybe because of the choppy water, or maybe because they had to keep track of 30 people moving through the water with other boats and tour groups around. The organizing of the boats was a bit chaotic, we didn't really see the need to spend an hour "shopping" on the island, and the music during lunch was crazy loud, but honestly the value you get with all the stops, lunch and open bar far outweighed any of our issues. Overall a fantastic tour and way to experience Isla Mujeres.

Absolutely disgusting and degrading experience. If you’re idea of this tour is snorkeling in any capacity or getting anything promised in the description (open bar, seeing the MUSA sub-aquatic museum or doing spinnaker as advertised), you will be horribly disappointed. The tour “guide” was named Batman and was squirting red shots of alcohol from a giant tube directly held next to his penis into young women’s mouths lying on their back on the boat deck. I fell asleep on the boat ride back because I was heat stroke and boat sick and this trip advisor’s recommended guide was threatening to make a spectacle of me by touring alcohol on me and drawing penises on me with a sharpie. Talk about low class, absolutely unprofessional and a degrading way to treat tourists / women as a whole. If my husband and wasn’t there to stand up for me and make sure that didn’t happen I don’t even know what to say. Trip advisor you should be grossly ashamed promoting this tour or paying this low class “guide”. I’m writing this review as a warning for other tourists / women and hope that this feedback will get back to Batman because he doesn’t deserve to have a job and should have consequences for his actions. There was 20 minutes of snorkeling or less - very crowded with 4 other boats next to ours so no room to swim or space at all. We only saw a few fish, mainly seaweed and one statue and can’t all the way from New York for a disgusting experience instead. Isla Mujeres was nothing but a tourist gift shop trap and the spinnaker they advertised never even happened. Drinks on board were colorful lightly rum spiked cocktails - not an open bar as described - and the experience was not delivered as promised. The rest of the trip was low class girls twerking and getting shots in their mouths held next to the tour operators dick and encouraged throughout the entire boat trip do this the whole time vs anything advertised. This is #metoo in the works and being promoted by TripAdvisor. I decided to cancel any further tours through TripAdvisor in Mexico after this experience and felt dirty after this experience. You should be grossly ashamed.

This was a great party boat. The title is miss leading when it starts off with snorkeling. It was more just swim fast in the ocean and quickly look at the statues. We were pushed through that part very quickly. The boat was a party and loud. I would not recommend this if you have smaller children as there was a lot of drunk people on our boat. If you are looking to have a party to the island than it is a must, but if you want to snorkel than I would pass.

If they would have been better organized at check-in at the marina, this would’ve been five star. The crew was attentive at all times never stopped providing drinks or beverages and were super professional

Not the tours fault… you SHOULD NOT SELL THIS AS SNORKLING TOUR. This is a booze cruise. 15 min max of snorkling, overloaded boat. Don’t get me started about the island of hard sales techniques, horrible food… and bonus! Wasted people puking in trash cans at the bar! Sounds fun right? 7 hours of that💩

This trip was amazing. I had a great time. There was enough space on the boat for us. We upgraded to a bigger boat which was worth it! Snorkeling was fun and the drinks were on point! The island was beautiful

Had an amazing time on the Anka, the crew has beyond great. My wife and I are both 50+ and not the strongest swimmers, the crew was incredibly helpful making us feel safe and uninhibited. The fact that the tour was only 12-14 people made it a personalized experience. I will recommend this to anyone.

If you are over 30 don't do this!! It's a scam. They will take you in this overcrowded boat, with loud music, watered down drinks that will make you puke. You'll arrive at a place where you can go snorkeling and see nothing. Maybe a fish or two that wonder by and tons of algae. Finally you'll arrive at a beach, overcrowded, not a good beach to swim in, or to rest, and you'll only pray that this horrible day comes to an end. But it won't. You'll have to go back on that boat for two more hours, with the same loud crowd, loud music, undrinkable drinks, and your constant desire to throw up. Worst experience of Cancun by far.

We had a lot of fun! The drinks were absolutely awful but we didn’t mind because we don’t usually care about drinking. The sailing was fun! The weather was perfect and the staff was excellent and attentive. The stop at the island was alright. If you’re thinking you’re getting drunk off good stuff or having the most amazing food, then this isn’t for you. But if you’re just looking to let loose and have a good time and have fun sailing (and snorkeling, but that was meh too) then I recommend this your!

Omar and his crew were awesome!! You won’t be disappointed with this trip! Food, Drink and Entertainment was great! Clean boat!

I booked a separate tour through TripAdvisor for a different activity and I was so pleased with the covid precautions they took on that tour. I was expecting the same for this one. If you are cautious please don’t book this tour, you will be highly exposed to the virus. Specially if you’re flying back to the US where you will need a negative test to return. Luckily I took my test before going on this tour otherwise I would’ve been extremely stressed. There was about 40 people in the catamaran with is leaving us with space to sit crisscrossed like kindergartners. To top it off the shuttle that picked us up at the end of our tour made us wait almost an hour to leave because we were waiting for a couple that decided to stay longer in Islas mujeres. Everyone in our shuttle was so annoyed and when I approached my driver about how much longer we would have to wait he said as long as the couple took to return. So if they would have taken 2 hours that’s how long we would’ve waited. So disappointing! Other than that the staff and tour guide were great! The photographer did an excellent job and we paid $40 for all the photos he took of us. Very nice gentleman!

Crew was amazing!! Food was terrible and open bar?? More like limited bar and wasn’t worth the money!! Better off taking the ferry and exploring on your own.

This tour is the same you'll be bothered to take by every tour person as you walk. It is Sail Away. The Viator price was lower than any we were offered. This is your standard booze cruise to Isla Mujeres. They did well with group sizes. Other Covid requirements were not enforced at all. No masks or Social distancing. It was a known risk though. The alcohol on board was all bottom shelf Mexican alcohol so expect the hangover if you indulge. Avoid renting the golf carts. They're not well maintained and you just play follow the leader. Overall all, unless you are really into snorkeling, which wasn't great, take the ferry and rent a golf cart on your own. 3rd time doing this tour through this company. I'm certain the underwater museum is a myth. I've never seen it.

So much fun! The scenery was like something out of a movie. I was in awe of the beauty of the reefs and the ocean. The buffet was vegetarian friendly. The tour guide and ship hands put the entire experience over the top. I was especially touched by how the ship hands treated the elderly guest. They were super attentive to everyone and made sure no one felt left out. I could not recommend this excursion more. This was the highlight of my vacation.

The best package you can buy!! The day was so fun! The boat (called Aventura) was so relaxing to be on, especially if you sit in the nets. Our tour guide Leo was so much fun! He really made us feel comfortable and made sure we were all always having fun. The crew also made sure to keep a full drink in our hands! They were all so enthusiastic about their jobs. The photographer was so great as well he made sure everyone had the opportunity to get great photos by telling us how to pose and where to stand for the best lighting. The lunch was very good and had a beautiful beach view. We got two hours to explore the island as well which was great. Snorkeling was very fun and the perfect amount of time. Lots of pretty fish and the statues were such a beautiful sight! If you’re considering booking this do it!!! Getting such a good experience for your money! 100% worth it!

Omg so much fun we had, def recommend, my man and I had so a blast and will do again. The ocean was amazing

We loved it, excellent crew all of them very kind and entertaining if they offered you an upgrade go ahead take it you won't regret, a 100%, recommended !!!

Very nice experience, the catamaran took 1 hour to return because another Service arose, but outside that very nice.
