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.

3.Cozumel Luxury Sailing & Snorkeling with Lunch and Open Bar Onboard

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 244 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $139

Review of Cozumel’s luxury catamaran tour from Playa del Carmen, with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, ferry costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The trip itself was wonderful. The logistics surrounding the trip were a little ridiculous. For an 8:30 departure from the dock, we were picked up at our hotel at 6:30AM and driven to a ferry a few miles down the road (when there was a ferry RIGHT NEXT to our hotel). We stood around waiting to sign in for ferry tickets, stood around waiting to board the ferry, and stood around waiting to board the catamaran. It seems like we could have all gotten another hour of sleep instead.”
