Showing 4 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
Sailing and boat tours give you the Riviera Maya from the water, where the reef colors and the coastline read very differently than from the beach. Catamaran cruises from Cancun and Playa del Carmen sail to Isla Mujeres for a day of snorkeling, open bar and beach time, while smaller private boats run sunset cruises and fishing trips along the Tulum coast. Many tours combine sailing with a reef snorkel stop, so you swim over coral gardens between legs under sail. Departures cluster in the morning for calmer seas and in the late afternoon for sunsets. Most include drinks, snorkel gear and a crew that handles everything. The tours below are ranked by traveler rating and value.
