Review of Cancun’s half-day catamaran to Isla Mujeres, with snorkeling, open bar, costs, timing, weather limits, and practical booking advice.
“This was our most enjoyable excursion while visiting Cancun. Transportation was prompt, & tour guide BAM was incredible. We only had 10 tourists on our catamaran!! It was like having our own boat. We snorkeled on our way to the island & saw tons of beautiful fish & the under water sculptures. At the island, we rented golf carts, stopped for a quick drink & enjoyed the beach for a bit. The half day trip is fast paced & perfect for our liking. I highly recommend this excursion,”

Sail from Corralejo to Lobos Island for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, lunch, drinks, and a small-group boat ride.
“The visit to the Lobos island was nice. Beautiful views, good place to swim. The one hour in the island for this tour was so short. By the time we got to the sea, it was time to walk back to take the speed boat back to the catamaran. There was no time to swim nor explore and enjoy the view a little bit longer. Back to the catamaran, we enjoyed the dive, swim and snorkling. Then we were given our lunch-paella. It was very limited, we were given a small plate of cold paella! If you take this tour, make sure you have eaten first, or you must bring…”
Review of the 3-hour Gave de Pau rafting trip near Lourdes, with boat choices, safety tips, pricing, weather rules, and honest advice.
“We had a FANTASTIC rafting experience with Tom. The age range of our group was 13 to 85, and everyone loved it. Tom provided clear instructions on how to navigate the raft and stay safe. While we were rafting, he educated us about the area's history, the river, and the wildlife. It’s obvious that Tom loves what he does; he is one of the happiest people on the planet. His humor kept us smiling throughout the day. This rafting trip was definitely a highlight of our tour in France. If you are in the area or just want to ensure an excellent time, sign up for Tom’s rafting excursions. You…”
Sail the Baltic from Rostock on a yacht with a skipper, coastal views, sunset options, and hands-on sailing for up to seven hours.
“Skipper Kai ist toll! Als nicht erfahrene Seglerin konnte ich wunderbar von seinen Erläuterungen profitieren. Kai ist superentspannt und kann sehr gut erklären und nimmt sich auch viel Zeit für Nichtsegler. Man fühlt sich extrem sicher bei ihm und er weiß, was er tut. Ich mochte seine Art. Und natürlich, dass er uns immer wieder das Boot hat steuern lassen. Wir hatten einen Traumsegeltag auf einer großen Yacht. Wenn das Charterunternehmen jetzt noch Getränke oder zumindest Mineralwasser für seine Gäste bereit hielte, wäre das eine nette Servicegeste und dem Preis angemessen.”
