I was really disappointed with this catamaran excursion to Isla Mujeres. It's advertised as a full-day tour, but we only had about 3 hours on the island, which felt extremely rushed. By the time you factor in boarding, transportation, and the scheduled activities, there wasn't nearly enough free time to actually enjoy Isla Mujeres.
On top of the tour price, you're required to pay additional boat docking and conservation fees, bringing the total cost to around $72 USD. To make matters worse, you spend about an hour standing in a long line just waiting to check in before the tour even begins.
The included lunch was also very disappointing. The food quality was poor, and there weren't many appealing options.
Another downside was the souvenir stop. The prices were outrageously inflated—easily three times more expensive than buying the exact same items in Cancun. It felt more like a tourist trap than a worthwhile shopping experience.
If you're thinking about visiting Isla Mujeres, I'd recommend skipping this excursion altogether. Take the ferry instead—you'll save money, have the freedom to explore at your own pace, spend as much time on the island as you want, and leave whenever you're ready. Overall, this tour wasn't worth the money, and I wish I had just taken the ferry instead.

Beautiful ...but slightly misleading and a money grab
The actual Catamaran ride was wonderful, and Isla Mujeres was beautiful. The boat crew was attentive, and there was a wonderful party atmosphere on the boat. Those parts were wonderful, BUT... beware, the mentioned tour of Isla Mujeres only comes with the upgrade which costs an additional $68 per person. We passed on that. Also, once on Isla Mujeres, it costs $40 to rent a beach umbrella...and add in the port charge and taxes for an additional $212 for a family of four. I'll also mention that once on the Catamaran, the captain announced that no children under 10 years old and no adults over 60 would be allowed to snorkel. That came as a surprise and disappointment to quite a few people. We had not seen that mentioned before.

Very fun experience! We...
Very fun experience! We saw four turtles just sitting on the netting. I will say we did not snorkel with the group on this trip as we had a snorkel excursion the day before but it was great sitting on the boat while everyone swam - perfect time to get some photos on the boat & alone time. Drinks were great and flowing the entire time. I will say there were lot of people on the boat so if your looking for something more private I would use this company for one of their more private catamarans. The music was fun, everyone of all ages had a good time. The staff was so friendly and made this experience more fun in my opinion.
