Isla Mujeres Premium Catamaran

Trip750706, Sep 2026

Private Catamaran tour

Rodrigo and crew were great and friendly. They kept the drinks coming and kept us entertained. They were on time and ready for us when we arrived at the marina. We went as a group of 13 friends and family and everything went smoothly. We even added on transportation to and from our resort to the marina which was great and made it very easy. Highly recommend the catamaran tour. It was so much fun and well worth the price.

Orlando_G, Aug 2026

Amazing time!

This is an all day trip due to the distance from Cancun/Riviera maya but we'll worth it. Spectacular fresh water lake that looks like the ocean. Crystal clear water and zero seaweed. It is not crowded which is hard to believe with how beautiful it is. Seems to be more of a locals place.

SpeeBoat Tour Whit Snorkeling In Cancún- Drive Your Own Boat

happym654, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Speedboat Adventure

This activity was absolutely amazing! We loved every moment of it. My son was fascinated by the speed of the boat, and the experience was incredible from start to finish.The scenery around the lagoon was beautiful and truly impressive. My wife was initially very nervous about the speed, but once we found the right rhythm and got comfortable with the speedboat, she ended up asking me to go even faster! It was definitely a fun and exciting experience for the whole family.The snorkeling was also great. I would have liked to spend a little more time snorkeling, but overall it was a good experience. Since you are exposed to the sun for most of the approximately two-and-a-half-hour tour, I highly recommend applying plenty of sunscreen and reapplying it during the activity.Overall, an incredible experience that we really enjoyed!

Worth the experience!

Chile, our tour guide, was the best! My husband and I with our 3 kids under 15 years old and had an amazing time. The ATV rides the ziplining the tequila tasting, the cenote, and the food and the mayan "rollercoaster" at the end was amazing! Highly recommend if you can keep up with the activities. The VIP experience was well worth it! Small group of 15 people was assumingly less chaotic than general admission. Gracias Chile y La Extreme Adventure familia!

SpeeBoat Tour Whit Snorkeling In Cancún- Drive Your Own Boat

676andresw, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Speedboat Adventure for the Whole Family

The Speedboat tour was absolutely fantastican unforgettable experience from start to finish. You begin by cruising through the beautiful lagoon before heading out into the open Caribbean Sea. For me, the most exciting part was navigating through the lagoon. There are several winding channels and narrow passages that make you feel like you're driving through a maze before reaching the ocean.Driving a speedboat is nothing like driving a car. It requires more attention, coordination, and skill, which makes the experience even more exciting and rewarding.I took this tour with my family, and my son absolutely loved it. Seeing how much fun he had made the experience even more memorable.The only thing I would have liked was to spend a little more time at the reef. Other than that, everything was excellent.As for the price, some people might consider it expensive at first, but after experiencing it, I honestly believe it's well worth every dollar. It's one of those activities that creates lasting memories.One piece of advice: take as many photos as you can with your family. I also recommend considering the professional photo package—and don't be afraid to negotiate the price. They even record a drone video of your adventure, and it looks absolutely amazing.I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cancún. It's exciting, fun, and a great way to create unforgettable family memories.

It was a fascinating experience to see the caves and the other activities were also a lot of fun. Our guide Pepe was very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. The final buffet was good. Everything was perfectly organized. The photo package was very expensive, however.
