★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 50 reviews · 8 hours · from $175

Swim with whale sharks near Cancún, enjoy gear and a safety briefing, then relax with lunch on Isla Mujeres in a small group.

“Décevant le guide n’a fait aucun effort d’écoute et de compréhension vis à vis de nos différents demandes aux cours de la journée. La visite avec les requins baleines s’effectue pas groupe de deux personnes ce qui laisse peu de possibilités de savourer le moment. Le repas servis sur place dans le bateau et totalement irrespectueux vis à vis du prix que nous avons laissé ( servi dans un petit pots avec 3 chips et un véhicule) je déconseille fortement”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Private half-day fishing near Puerto Morelos with trolling and bottom fishing, beers on board, and fish cleaned for you.

Compared to other fishing charters this was an excellent outing. Boat was pleasant. If you are not familiar with trolling be aware that diesel fumes and engine rumble are part of the deal for any excursion - leave the fragile on shore.”

ATV tracks, jungle zip-lines, and a refreshing cenote swim in Cancun, with pickup and lunch included in about 5 hours.

“Our day with Altustours, arranged by Viator, was far more memorable than we expected.

Our day started with a van picking up up from the lobby of our hotel. The driver was kind and helpful. The trip to the site was enjoyable and we felt totally safe. Once at the site, the local staff seemed determined to accommodate us in every way we wanted. The zip line part of our day was explained to us in detail and the staff carefully helped each of…”

8.Half-Day Horseback Riding and Extreme Adventure Cancun Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $160

Half-day Cancun combo: polo club horseback riding, 6 zip lines and ATV jungle run, then a Verde Lucero cenote swim. Pickup included.

“This tour combined zipline, horseback riding, atv and cenote swim all in 1 day. The guides we super friendly and fun. It was very enjoyable. The only reason it got a 4 star and not a 5 star was because the zipline portion was very beginners level. You get to walk across 2 short bridges and zip thru 3 or 4 short lines and it wasn't high at all. No excitement or adrenaline rush there. Overall experience was fun for the family. Definitely recommend if you done any of the activities mentioned.”

10.Isla Mujeres Premium Catamaran Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★2.0 · 3 reviews · 5 hours · from $128

Premium catamaran to Isla Mujeres with snorkeling stop, open bar, box lunch, and hotel pickup, plus free time to explore.

“Purtroppo a causa del mare non si è potuto fare snorkeling, che a mio avviso è quello che distingue l’attività da un normale traghetto per l’isola (che costerebbe pure meno). Se siete interessati al bere qui c’è open bar continuo, punto a favore ma solo se non siete astemi. Praticamente è una traversata in catamarano, non viene spiegato nulla della storia dell’isola. Il cestino è molto migliorabile, costituiva in un panino (o burritos) non troppo buono e una mela. Una volta sull’isola abbiamo preso un taxi che al costo di 90€ ci ha fatto fare il giro di tutta l’isola, spiegandoci la storia, e abbiamo fatto anche due foto con…”
