Review of Cabo’s 3-hour luxury sailing and snorkeling cruise, with Land’s End views, open bar, lunch, small groups, and practical tips.
“Very good snorkeling and saw lots of whales. Great crew with nice extras. Great scenery of arch and other sites,”
Review of Puerto Vallarta’s luxury yacht and snorkel cruise, with Majahuitas, lunch, open bar, activities, costs, and practical tips.
“It was nice and we all enjoyed it. But it sounded like we’d get a passing tour of a few places and go to a nice beach to chill for a while. Actually, it was a slow boat ride to the bay. We snorkeled for about 20 minutes then went to the beach for just over 30 minutes. It was only beer on the beach, not premium cocktails. When we got back on the boat, we had a sandwich and a slow drive back to port. Was a little misleading for the price but still had fun.”
Review of Riviera Maya’s luxury catamaran cruise with reef snorkeling, paddleboarding, lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“We liked the small 20 person group size, the catamaran, sail and crew were great but once they have you back on land the service goes away. Our group had to wait on the street for one hour and 20 minutes for our ride back to our hotels. Several of Cancun Adventures vans came and dropped more groups off and left empty to pick up more people. We asked several times to get on and no, not our van, they always had an excuse. A party of 3 got their own taxi after 1 hour of standing on the sidewalk. After they get your tips they truly don’t care, they…”
Review of Isla Mujeres’ $88 small-group snorkeling tour, with four reef stops, MUSA, ceviche, margaritas, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Great experience overall and bonus that it was a small group of 8. I highly recommend the semi private option. Koodos to our guide Jorge, it was his first tour and he did great! The actual tour is 2hrs not 3 as advertised and we were late getting started!”
Review of Cozumel’s luxury catamaran sail from Playa del Carmen, with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, paddleboards, transport, and practical tips.
“Water was great felt safe Staff was attentive and accommodating Food was very delicious Was a really glad the captain put the sails up that was one of my best parts Happy ending”
Cozumel’s $35 glass-bottom boat tour visits three reefs, with snorkeling, drinks, friendly guides, and an easy cruise-port meeting point.
“The tour was very nice. The operator has it's meeting point at a hotel, qt which you can use the bathrooms. Manager and personnel were very friendly. The tour consists of 3 snorkeling spots which are outstanding. Only minor was that at the third spot is was so busy with many other tours that we lost our guide. Overall worthwhile.”
Review of Tulum’s private 34-foot catamaran, with snorkeling, chef-prepared food, open bar, water toys, costs, itinerary, and booking advice.
“Everything was wonderful. The boat, the food, the crew / service and the location. What a super way to spend 1/2 a day. It’s not inexpensive compared to the group boat outings but well worth it.”
