Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a Xcaret catamaran, stop at El Meco Reef for guided snorkeling, then enjoy a beach club, buffet or box lunch, drinks, downtown free time, and Cancun’s Scenic Tower. The tour lasts about 7 hours 45 minutes and costs $74.66, plus a $20 dock fee.

“The snorkeling is for only about 20 mins before you get to the island. They bring you to a tourist trap where they ripped me off $350 for 2 small bottles of tequila. They wrapped the bottles up so fast I wasn’t able to examine them but they were not what they said they were. I would say the boat ride was nice but taking a fairy over and exploring on your own would be much better. If you’re interested in the snorkeling part, find a different tour. Would not recommend.
