Great short excursion!

Charlie_H, Mar 2024

This was a great short excursion, and the crew was very friendly and helpful. The area is absolutely beautiful, and the water is so blue. Alvin and his crew took great care of us. While we were snorkeling, our 6 year old just had to hang on to a life ring and one of the crew members towed her around while she snorkeled, which made it very easy on Mom and Dad. They also took lots of great photos with their GoPro while we were snorkeling (able to purchase for a fee). We didn't have a lot of time on Isla Mujeres, but we were able to grab lunch and do a little shopping. We didn't go to Playa Norte, as implied by the ad, but that was fine. A little snorkeling, a nice boat ride, and a little food and shopping on Isla Mujeres. Viator also arranged our round-trip transfer from the resort to Punta Sam Ferry Terminal. Would highly recommend.

Perfect afternoon

Rob_M, Mar 2024

This was a perfect length trip for us. The snorkeling was awesome despite the waves- our guide kept us going in the right direction. The guacamole and poco de gallo that was hand made on the boat was out of this world. The trip to and from the island was perfect. Overall an amazing day. Wonderful crew, beautiful sights

Friendly and very responsible crew of people

Edgar_C, Dec 2022

They treat their customers kindly and they always keep the drinks coming your way. Would defined request for their services when going back to Cancun.

Thank you so much!

Awesome Experience

BrookePress, Jun 2022

The captain and crew were top knotch. The group was 10 people on a nice size catamaran. Had a nice snorkel and some additional perks such as a tequila tasting and 20% off at the suvienier store and 50% off at the diamond store. The photographer was amazing and I highly recommend you let him take a ton of photos of you. Buy the package. It's worth it!

Thank you Brooke, are really happy you enjoyed sailing with Catmania Catamarans. See you soon! Regards Fab Peña

Great experience! Loved the trip.

Bethany_H, Jun 2022

Such a great time! It didn’t seem short at all- I went with one friend, and we were exhausted when we came back! The snorkeling was good, but make sure you’re a generally strong swimmer. If not, you have the option to stay on the boat! The guide, Gallo, did well at keeping track of all of us while we were in the water, and making sure we saw everything cool before we got back on the boat. Speaking of the boat, the whole time we were on it, the drinks kept coming, which was perfect! The group was small (10 people), which worked well. Transport was nice, and if you’re not in their regular area, it’s just a small fee. You can pay that and the docking fee in cash before the tour. Bring extra money for lunch and shopping on Isla Mujeres.
