The snorkeling group was much too large and in rough water rather than near a reef, the drinks left a lot to be desired, the buffet was just ok (glad I didn't pay for the extra), and Isla Mujueres shopping was just tourist stuff. The area where lunch was served was pretty.

I want to start by saying that the guides and employees were nothing but nice and helpful and my review is about the tour itself, NOT the employees. We bought the basic tour with no buffet lunch included. First off, the catamaran was packed quite tightly and you pretty much had to just fit where you found space. You could sit but not very comfortably, and there was minimal shade (which packed up with people almost immediately). We were the first ones in the waiting area but there was a lack of communication (the man in charge of the area walked away to somewhere else, did not come back for a while) and only some people heard that our boat was being loaded onto. By the time we found out, we were amongst the last ones on the boat and had to stand in the sun the whole time. Next, the snorkeling was unfortunately nothing too amazing. Obviously this is not the fault of the tour operators, it is simply nature but I think most of the reefs were dead and there was a lack of colorful fish, or even fish in general. I think unfortunately this is not the spot to try to snorkel. There was also a beautiful underwater museum of statues that obviously represent something significant but none of the guides mentioned the history of it. When I asked one of them personally, she did not know the history of it. I could Google it of course, but it would have been nice to hear a bit of history from a local. After the snorkeling, they asked us if they wanted to rent a golf cart with them for $50. This was not included in the tour description and it was cash only so we were taking by a bit of surprise. We decided to use the last bit of cash we had to reserve our golf cart because the guide told us that they would take us on a tour of the island. This was unfortunately not a tour but rather a rushed drive around Isla Mujeres where you could stop at a lookout for 5 minutes to take a picture before they rushed you back into the golf cart to drive off. There are so many beautiful spots on the island and some interesting facts/history about it and none of it was even mentioned on the so called “tour” of the island. Not to mention that we used the last of our cash for this and could not even buy more water, ice cream, or fresh fruit that was sold all over. There was no atm available until the last 40 minutes of the tour when we got to the main center of the island. Then they dropped us back off at the beach club which was extremely crowded (but it is still high season, so it was expected.) However, we were glad to not have paid $25 for the included buffet which was hot dogs, burgers, pasta (on a super hot and sweaty day), and a few other items. The beach club area of the island only had one restaurant which was so incredibly overpriced. I have never seen such an expensive restaurant on the island before. But the downside is that the tour does not give you enough time to even look for food at all the amazing local restaurants on the island so you either have to pay $25 for sub-par food, eat at the overpriced restaurant (I’m talking about $50 for one fish ceviche). Or bring your own snacks or food (but remember no fridge or even shade to keep it somewhat fresh). Then they dropped us off at the center of Isla Mujeres where they gave us only 40 minutes. We spent 15 minutes in line waiting for an atm because we had used up all our cash and card transactions tend to get a tax fee tacked onto them so it is ultimately better to pay cash. Then we were finally about to buy souvenirs before realizing we had only 5 minutes to run back to the dock. We had to leave all the souvenirs behind and run back only to realize that the boat was docked at a separate location than where we were dropped off. We only noticed because several people of our same group saw the boat off in the distance and were kind enough to tell us. Overall, I would unfortunately not recommend this tour. It is a much better (and probably cheaper) use of your time to buy ferry tickets on your own, rent your own golf cart, explore the island, enjoy the beaches and good restaurants, and purchase souvenirs all on your own time. I have done this dozens of times. I booked this tour thinking this time we could do something a little different but unfortunately it was not worth our time, money, or peace of mind to enjoy a beautiful place with beautiful weather.Great relaxing experience. Everyone in the crew was nice and professional made for a smooth process.

Very good day out to Isla Mujeres and snorkelling in the ocean. Was a well organised day so didnt feel like a long day. Staff very attentive with drinks on the boat and the host was very welcoming and had good humour. Would have been handy to know about the buggie carts prior to arriving on the island, albeit this can be down through own research. Food on arrival was great and the beach is absolutely beautiful.The trip has pick up and drop off included to and from your hotel. This is the worst part of this trip.

The trip has pick up and drop off included to and from your hotel. This is the worst part of this trip. They put us on one bus then asked to get down and made us wait for 45 mins to get on an another bus. The treatment was really bad. Otherwise the boat, snorkeling and island is great. Island is just beautiful, better than Cancun beaches.Misleading information & too many people on the boat couldn’t see or enjoy anything. Snorkelling was such a failure, they rushed everyone just a quick Weil around & that’s it. No fish or reef to see.
