About this experience
Set off on a sun-and-fun-packed day trip to charming Isla Mujeres, a must-see attraction just off the Cancun coast. Cruise on a modern catamaran while sipping a drink or two from the open bar on your way to and from the scenic island.
You will even get a chance to snorkel at open sea, surrounded by colorful tropical fish. Upon arriving at Isla Mujeres, kick back and relax on one of the top beach clubs, where you also get to indulge a savory buffet lunch right next to the beach.
Back on the catamaran, continue to Isla Mujeres' main town, where you can explore the cozy, colorful downtown area by foot, at your own pace. Whether you choose to do some shopping, walk around and take pictures, or visit the world-famous Playa Norte beach, you are guaranteed to have a blast.
On your return to Cancun, take in the stunning sights of the coastline and seascape. If weather permits, try the spinnaker sail powered by the cool sea breeze, elevating you to 16 feet (5 meter) of altitude.
