Starting Point and Transportation
The tour begins with a pickup from your Cancun hotel, with the check-in time at 9:45 AM. From there, it’s about an hour and a half drive to the marina where your adventure kicks off. The van ride is comfortable but does take a good chunk of the morning, so be prepared for some early hours. Once onboard the catamaran, you’ll notice the lively energy with a DJ spinning tunes, setting the perfect tone for a fun-filled day.
Sailing to Isla Mujeres
The boat is designed for a party atmosphere — think open bar with rum, vodka, tequila, beers, and soft drinks — making it easy to start your day with a refreshment in hand. The I-know-what-I’m-doing crew ensures everyone’s glasses stay full while enjoying the panoramic views of the Caribbean. The boat’s sail to Isla Mujeres is a highlight itself, especially during sunset, when the sky paints an incredible backdrop to your return journey.
Snorkeling at El Meco
A key part of the day is snorkeling — and it’s not just a quick splash. Guests have the chance to explore the clear waters at El Meco, a popular snorkeling spot known for its calm, transparent seas ideal for beginners and seasoned snorkelers alike. You’ll love the way the vibrant marine life pops against the blue, and reviewers mention that the equipment is decent, though it’s best to bring your own mask if you’re particular.
More Great Thing To Do NearbyThe Beach Club Experience at MAYAN MONKEY
