Always a no show!!!

We have been coming to the Talum and Play Del Carmen area for years. The last two times we booked a sunset cruise they cancelled on us just before the trip. Each time that day it was not safe and each time the weather was perfect. You cannot depend on these guys at all!!!!!

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear about your disappointment. We understand how frustrating it can be when a highly anticipated experience is canceled, especially after planning for it more than once. The safety of our guests is always our highest priority. While weather may appear favorable from shore, sailing operations are subject to decisions made by the Port Authority based on marine conditions, wind, currents, and other safety factors that may not be visible from land. When restrictions are issued, we are required to comply. We truly regret the inconvenience this caused and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is important to us, and we understand your frustration. Cancun Adventures

Terrible experience booking with Viator

Booked twice as first booking I was sent notice the day before it was being cancelled. I rebooked for another night to propose, and received notification that it was not being allowed to operate by the Port Authority . Huge scam, won’t allow refund only to rebook for another time. Don’t waste your time or money on this specific Viator managed excursion.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing it must have been, especially given the special occasion you had planned. We can certainly appreciate the frustration of having your excursion canceled twice after making arrangements and looking forward to such an important moment. For the safety of our guests, maritime activities are occasionally suspended by the Port Authority due to weather and sea conditions beyond our control. However, we understand that this does not lessen the disappointment of a canceled experience. Regarding your booking and refund concerns, reservations made through third-party platforms such as Viator are subject to their policies and procedures. We encourage you to continue working directly with their customer support team to review the options available for your reservation. We sincerely regret that we were unable to provide the experience you had hoped for and appreciate you taking the time to share your comments. Cancun Adventures

4 hours in van

Picked up from our hotel at 4pm. Boat departed at 5:30 and returned at 7:30. Didn’t get back to our hotel until 9:50pm. 4 hours total spent in a van…. For a 2 hour excursion. This was probably the worst experience of all time and I’m thinking about cancelling other excursions I have planned because this one went so terribly wrong.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to spend significantly more time in transportation than on the sailing excursion itself, especially when you were looking forward to enjoying a relaxing evening on the water. While transportation times can vary depending on hotel location, traffic conditions, and scheduled pickups for other guests, we recognize that the overall balance of travel time versus excursion time is an important part of the guest experience. We regret that this aspect of your tour negatively impacted your enjoyment of the day. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will share them with our operations team for review as we continuously look for ways to improve our services and better set expectations for our guests. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you will allow us another opportunity in the future to provide the exceptional experience that Cancun Adventures strives to deliver. Cancun Adventures

What a waste of time and money

The pick up time at the hotel was not conveyed until the day of the pick up, when we no longer had email access internationally, despite my emails to confirm that 5:30 was the pick up time, not the sunset cruise start time. So we arrived at the pick up location one hour and 10 minutes late, despite every piece of communication for the preceding week reading 5.30. We were all disappointed, and wasted $270 because they couldn't provide an accurate pick up time until we had left town and email access. seem very disorganized.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the pickup time and understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must have been. We regret that the communication did not reach you clearly before your tour date, especially while traveling internationally. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, and we understand how upsetting it must have been to miss the excursion as a result. Your comments are very important to us, and we will review our communication procedures internally to help avoid situations like this in the future. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Warm regards, Cancun Adventures

Nothing like a sunset sail

We had a group of 12 staying in Playa del Carmen. This sail included drinks, a snack - artistically arranged lunchmeat, cheese and crackers in a bento box - music and the incredible sunset. We were picked up at our hotel in a van large enough to fit us all and driven south, to Puerto Aventuras. We checked in ($15 pp dock fee payable on arrival) and waited a short while before being walked to the marina. Besides our group of 12, there were roughly another dozen people on the sail. We were by no means crowded; the boat was large with bench seating undercover as well as an opportunity to sit near the bow with feet dangling over the canvas deck insets. It was a bit rough so you did need a hand to steady yourself sometimes when walking (or dancing!) The selection of music was great for our group so we were up right away dancing. We sailed for near an hour then turned to sail into the sunset on our return to marina. The van delivered us back to the hotel. It was an enjoyable evening. But I think it should be described as snacks rather than "light dinner."

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your Riviera Maya Luxury Sunset Sailing experience. We are delighted to hear that your group enjoyed a memorable evening on the Caribbean Sea and that the atmosphere, music, sunset views, and onboard experience helped create such a special outing during your stay in Playa del Carmen. It’s wonderful to know that the transportation, spacious catamaran, and lively ambiance contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable experience for your entire group. We especially love hearing that the music had everyone dancing and fully embracing the sunset sailing atmosphere. We also sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding the “light dinner” description. Your comments are very valuable, and we understand your perspective that the offering may align more closely with snacks or appetizers. Feedback like yours helps us continue refining guest expectations and improving the overall experience we provide. Thank you again for choosing Cancun Adventures for your evening at sea. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another unforgettable adventure in the Riviera Maya. Cancun Adventures

Good and drinks not worth the additional cost

Drinks are below average, the cheese plate not worth the offer. The crew was great and the boat in good condition

Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve the overall experience. We appreciate your honesty and hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Cancun Adventures
