★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,242 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $129Our pick

Spend a long but rewarding day exploring Tulum, snorkeling by boat with turtles and stingrays, and swimming in a cave cenote. Guides such as Suly, Raul, Ulrich, and Mimi add history, safety help, and humor. Lunch, gear, entrance fees, and hotel transport are included, but bring $35 cash for conservation fees.

“Hi, Tulum Ruins tour was extremely short with guide providing minimum information, total talk time less than 5 mins, I thought it was the cheapest guide option possible. I have something to compare with, I had a great experience in these ruins from tour taken years back, it was extremely informative with lot's of incredible detailed info, not this tour though. The snorkeling by the reef was terrible not because of the team though, they in fact were solid and organized but the weather was rough and my believe we were not supposed to be in the water at all in conditions like that with waves over 4 feet. The…”

“We booked the Private Luxury Yacht 55FT Rental in Cancun and were expecting the exact yacht we selected. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were given a different boat — the DIVA 60ft Elite Italian Yacht — without any prior notice. This was disappointing, especially since I could see the 55ft boat out on the water, so it clearly wasn’t a breakdown. One of the reasons I specifically chose the 55ft was its seating arrangement, which would have been better for my elderly in-laws. The replacement boat had a larger sundeck but less accessible seating, making it more difficult for them to get around. On the positive side, the crew was absolutely…”

“Very well organised and attentive crew. Plenty of time to swim and snorkel. Good lunch with a variety of food and drinks flowed well. The long trip to the coral reef is not too far. Drop you off about 50m away and guide you over whilst boat moors about another 100m away in shallow water. Highly recommend.”

“My friends and I really enjoyed this beautiful Isla Mujeres escape for half of the day! Everything outlined in the description was as expected, regarding timing and all required costs. (Optional costs are noted in my review below). The boat staff, operated by Cancun sailing, was very professional and knowledgeable and clearly explained everything throughout the day. They were also so friendly and helpful, always offering refills of drinks. Some of the drinks available besides water were margaritas, tequila sunrises, and rum punches. We got an explanation and choice as to whether we wanted to snorkel or just stay on the boat. The snorkeling was worth it, and we even…”

“After booking on Viator, you have to still visit the ticket window to get your actual tickets. If you book a round-trip ticket, you use the same ticket to get on the ferry when you return, don’t lose it. There are two lines for departure. One for the sailing excursion and one for the ferry. Just ask a staff member, they were very helpful. Boarding is super simple, I recommend sitting outside, it’s beautiful.”

“It was a good time but a very long day. I was told it was an English speaking tour and while they did tell us the important stuff (like safety and bathroom) we were not able to join in any conversations or enjoy the music (it was mostly all in Spanish). I understand that the majority of the people on the tour spoke Spanish (even though some of them spoke English) that was my only compain”
