The Isla Mujeres Catamaran Tour with Lunch and Open Bar was terrific. We chose the premium tour with hotel pick up and that was totally worth the extra fee. When we arrived at the dock, we were given the opportunity to upgrade to VIP. So, instead of 45-50 on board, we had about 25. It was hard to dole out more money, but afterward, we were glad we did - room to spread out, more personable, great service! It was nice to have the catamaran TAKE us to Playa Norte (the northern beach), instead of renting golf carts. The beach is beautiful and a welcomed way to cool off! We decided not to snorkel because it was a short stop, but those who did enjoyed it. The buffet lunch was good and we didn’t have to wait in line. This was a wonderfully relaxing day on and in the water! Even with several applications of reef-friendly sunscreen, we still came back with a little sunburn, but that’s because we chose to be in the sun the whole time.

The experience of going on a catamaran and being in Isla Mujeres and being able to be on good beaches was very cool, the guides do not act so much as a guide but rather as animators on the boat so you can have a good time. If you go snorkeling it is not recommended since it is seen and not seen, you really hardly have time to see anything since everything is very running and with toooooo people who care more that you get to the collection point than you see and contemplate the background in a calm way. It was the thing I liked the least.

So beautiful! Everything was so easy, but I do recommend getting picked up and dropped at the hotel. It's well worth it. The water is gorgeous, everything was very safe, the VIP passes were also well worth it to avoid the crowds and have a little extra. The snorkeling was easy and fun, the beaches were beautiful, the food and drinks were excellent. The check in process is a bit long. Definitely slather on the sunscreen repeatedly!
