What people are saying about Cancún

Pretty well organized. Our driver picked us almost an hour late, no his fault. Other guests were late. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, but people were using sunscreen and insect repellent despite being told it was not allowed for ecological reasons. Though our experience was priceless, the habitat is more important than our experience. Perhaps this should not be open to tourism. The staff was great. Plenty of drinks in our way to the islands. The food was ok, nothing great. Contoy island is beautiful, isla mujeres is nice too. Amazing beach

an exceptional activity in a heavenly setting, this outing largely met our expectations!! it is spectacular! Alan the pilot and Eduardo, our guide, were remarkably kind and professional!! I recommend it to you, this boat with a transparent bottom will give you a magnifying glass effect, the photos and videos through this material are of very high quality, it's as if you were observing with a mask, your head submerged! we

This was an amazing experience! . The vibe was great. The host had us play games and before the night was over we all became friends. Food was just there. It was majorly the energy for me. Would recommend for a night of fun

We had a lot of fun, the alcohol was not lacking and the food was delicious. A party atmosphere and live music. Mandatory if you go to Cancun you have to do this activity.

Lots of fun. The staff were all great. So glad we did it!
