1.Isla Mujeres Luxury Sailing: Adults Only or Family Friendly

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,418 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129Our pick

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with hotel pickup, drinks, snorkeling, lunch, and island free time. The crew, including guides such as Enrique, Christina, Judy, and Abraham, keeps the day lively. Expect a social boat trip, not a quiet sailing retreat or serious reef excursion.

“The crew on the boat were wonderful! Very fun and engaging. Jumping in the ocean for a bit was fun and those that snorkeled said it was super cool, just lots of waves. Our visit on Isla Mujeres was great. The shop owners were a little agressive with trying to "sell" to us, but we ate at a wonderful restaurant and walked around the town.”

We did not get sick from food/water so you can trust it! We would do this again in a…”
