Different experience - The entire trip is memorable. We’ve been to Cancun several times and did most of the popular tours offered in the area. This tour is short but definitely worth every minute. The crew is friendly and communicates well with everyone. They also kept offering us with food and drinks. The food is very light (sandwich, chips, fruit and cookies), but the guacamole is my favorite. The trip itself is amazing. The sandbar where we stayed is not elevated like the other sandbars but it is a great area to swim. The water is so blue and the sand is so soft. The water is also surprisingly warmer than any other beach area in Cancun or even isla mujeres. Overall, I would recommend this excursion yo my family and friends. We had a lot of fun and would love to do it again.

Low key Big Fun Sun and Sand - This was the perfect low key way to spend our afternoon. Leisure boat ride to section of ocean where you can stand in the ocean. We brought our masks to dive down for shells. I suggest you bring snacks but they give out food. Free drinks all afternoon long. No complaints here whatsoever. Crew was super friendly and helpful. We will go back next year.

Fun day on the water! - The boat is comfortable and the crew caters to your every need. It's fun to relax, chat with the crew and other guests and enjoy the gorgeous turquoise blue water. We've done this trip 5 times and it never disappoints.

Beautiful but deeper than expected - I have a love/hate relationship with this experience! I LOVED how beautiful the water was. It is just as bright blue as in the pictures and it was truly breathtaking to see in person. The crew was also very kind and helpful and the hotel transport was flawless. However...the water was a little deep for me. I thought I read somewhere on the itinerary that it was 3 foot but when we got there they said it was 4 foot deep at the shallowest and it was a very wavy day at sea so the waves were def more like 5 feet. I am only 5'3" so I was not able to just walk around at the sandbar like I thought I would be. My husband could walk around and the waves were up to his chest. I just floated on the mat, which was fun, but I was imaging something different. It was also a cloudy and cooler day for us that it felt pretty cold being in the water. It was fine on the boat but pretty chilly in the water so we only stayed out there a short bit. I'd make sure to go on a warm sunny day if you don't want to have goosebumps.
