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.”

The staff was phenomenal and so hospitable, they would bring us drinks and made sure we were ok the entire time. We went to the reef first with a guided tour and saw so many fish! We then went to a second location for swimming/paddleboarding. The area was protected and shallow so we could stand up in a nice sandy area. The entire time drinks were flowing and food was good!

They were also so friendly and helpful, always offering refills of drinks. Some of the drinks available besides water were margaritas, tequila sunrises, and rum punches.

“DO NOT BOOK!! Don’t get me wrong the sailing itself was beautiful and the crew was very nice, but the transportation to and from was HORRIBLE! Our driver was 15 min late, we then proceeded to sit on the side of the road for another 30 min waiting for another van to bring us passengers, so we ended up being late and started the excursion late and the crew didn’t make up for the missed time. When we left we were told we would be dropped off at 9pm, but didn’t arrive back until 9:45pm and missed our dinner reservation we planned for. Very unorganized and the transportation ruined the…”
