Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise - Leaving the marina with Cabo’s Arch in view

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,515 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

Review of Los Cabos luxury sailing with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, whale sightings, hotel pickup, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“This excursion was super fun ! Food was great we were served drinks whenever we asked for them and they were yummy! Only thing is I wish we would have had more time in the water / had a better spot for snorkeling, they anchor quite far out and u just jump off the boat and swim around it, saw plenty of fish but It would have been cool to snorkel along the coast and see rocks and other things, we also only swam for about 35 minutes which didn't feel like enough time for us. Overall it was definitely fun but if you're looking for a more water based…”

Review of Cancun’s Isla Mujeres luxury sailing tour, with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, costs, family notes, and honest drawbacks.

“This Isla Mujeres catamaran tour was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip. The crew was incredible—attentive, fun, and made the whole day feel effortless. The catamaran was clean and spacious, the snorkeling spot was beautiful, and the drinks and music kept the energy up the entire time. Isla Mujeres was breathtaking and we had plenty of time to explore and relax. If you’re in Cancun and considering this trip, DO IT. You won’t regret it.Christina was great!”

Review of Bacalar’s 3-hour Seven Colors Lagoon sailing tour, with cenotes, swimming, snacks, drinks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“A 3-hour trip over a stunning lake, including drinks, fruit and two lovely swim breaks. What’s not to love? This was definitely the highlight of our visit to Bacalar. The lake has many amazing sights, from the history-laden Pirates’ Channel to Bird Island and the cenotes. Our crew members Abraham and David were incredibly nice and made sure everyone was happy and well cared for. They had many cool stories about the lake and the surrounding region and were happy to share both these and personal stories. I cannot recommend taking a trip with them enough.”

Sail Bacalar Lagoon for three hours with swimming, cenotes, fruit, drinks, and small-group guiding for $40 per person.

“This tour was amazing! We were accompanied by Andres and David, who told us a lot of interesting and cool facts about the lagoon of Bacalar. We had two stops to enjoy swimming in the lagoon, with lot of free time, which was great. I would recommend going for the tour a 8am as there’s less people going in for that hour! We ended up being just 2 in the boat, it was like a private tour and we really enjoyed it. Plus yummy fresh juice and yummy fruits, what more could we have asked for!”

“Did not know it was a shared boat. When we were meeting the driver at our hotel pick up spot, he called and told us he will wait 4 minutes. He had already left and said we no showed at 4:40pm. We got to the spot at 4:37pm. He lied. Which we then had to call a taxi to drive 30 minutes and paid $94 plus tip to try to make it to our reservation at 5:30pm. Thankfully we made it in time and even still had time to shop while we waited for our boat to be ready. Ramon and the staff on the boat were great! The bar…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 417 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $49

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,”
