“We've experienced several catamaran sunset cruises. This was "ok" at best. Nothing special. The boat, a nice catamaran, was small and cramped for 30 people. It's suited for 15-20. The cabin area below was cramped. Food was limited. The charcuterie board that the crew served was so-so. The meats and cheese had little flavor. The bread was stale. The only crackers served were Ritz. The best aspect of this cruise is that the crew served drinks regularly. They told us nothing about the area - only safety precautions and crew introductions at the beginning, and a "thank you" and long-winded pitch for tips at the end. When booking for boat…”

Review of Playa del Carmen's five-course dinner with cocktail class, wine pairings, Mayan flavors, and beachside transportation.

“The experience was great. Beautiful beach, entertaining, great service and wonderful ambiance. I would recommend having white wine options for guests that are not a fan of red wines. Also, when a participant states that they have a restriction please truly consider and accommodate them.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $92

Review of a Mayan evening near Tulum with a temazcal ceremony, cenote swim, village visit, dinner, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“It was a really interesting experience with the Mayan ceremony and traditions and I felt really connected to the people and environment around me. Our tour guide was very nice and he translated as much as possible for us. However, the main ceremony is in Spanish, so I couldn't understand the rituals fully. I really liked how welcoming and friendly people were.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Tulum night out with salsa, a hands-on mezcalita workshop, and Mexican dinner, with vegetarian and vegan choices included.

“This experience was so memorable. We started the night with salsa dancing. Léo and José were so energetic and were full of good vibes. The mezcalita workshop was extremely enjoyable, and it was very tasty! The food was also delicious and they cater to any dietary restrictions. Bayati helped with videos/photos so we didn’t have to worry about taking our own! I would definitely recommend trying this experience if you are ever in Tulum!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Hire a private Tulum driver for five hours of dinner, cenotes, shopping, and more, with hotel pickup, air conditioning, and flexible plans.

“Overall it worked out however there were a few things that should've been better. For starters you (I) would think the van would be nice and air conditioned upon arrival- it's wasn't. Also site says waters are provided- no water just empty cooler. When the driver dropped us off at first location he gave us his number to call when we were ready. Called over 6 times with no response, we had to walk around until we found him. I even messaged the company that driver wasn't answering and where we were, never even received a response back.”
