★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 12 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $79

Spend about seven hours sailing from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a double-decker catamaran. Snorkel a coral reef and part of MUSA, eat a buffet lunch, relax at a beach club, visit Playa Norte or the island town, and return with an open bar. Hotel transfers are an optional upgrade.

“It was an amazing trip! Everyone on the cruise was wonderful and super friendly. They kept us up on drinks and fun. The lunch was delicious on Isla mujeres, they waited for us on the cruise when we were running a little late. The island was beautiful. I recommend this to anyone looking for laid back trip and not too crowded.”
