Select participants and date
The catamaran slices through the Caribbean like a bright promise: turquoise water lifting to meet the boat’s bow, a band on the deck cuing the first chord, and the island’s low white rim growing out of the horizon. By the time the hull slows and the pier of Isla Mujeres slides into view, the day has already set its pace—part easy-going beach time, part marine playground, part island market crawl.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The tour includes snorkeling near coral; use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid lotions that cloud water visibility.
Carry cash for extras
ATV, golf-cart rentals and island shopping often require cash or card—bring both to avoid missing spur‑of‑the‑moment activities.
Hydrate and pace the open bar
Alcohol and sun are a dehydrating combination—alternate drinks with water and sit in shade between activities.
Protect personal items
Lockers are provided but bring a small dry bag for phone, camera, and valuables while on the boat or snorkeling.
