Watch Cabo’s sunset from the Caborey, with Arch views, unlimited drinks, Mexican fajitas, and live music for a lively evening at sea.

Review of a Teotihuacan group tour from Mexico City with early access, guided pyramids, La Gruta restaurant, tequila tasting, and transport.
“The pyramids are wonderful. Fernando our tour guide was very knowledgeable and Regina was a wonderful driver. La Gruta food is dissapointing for vegetarians. Limited options and not flavorful. The ambience in the restaurant is terrific but the food is not great.”

Sunset dinner cruise from Cabo San Lucas with Land's End views, Mexican buffet, domestic drinks, lively crew, and wheelchair-friendly access.
“We had a wonderful time on this cruise. We are from tbe US and have been on many boat cruises, and none of them compared to this. The boat was impeccably clean, the food was actually very tasty, and we received friendly and prompt table service throughout the cruise. The staff all had such great energy and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. We got a gorgeous view of the sunset. We would recommend this tour.”
Cabo dinner cruise review covering tequila tasting, shopping, sunset views, party atmosphere, buffet food, value, and practical booking tips.
“My experience was awful I booked 7 months in advance but when it was time to do the tour I wasn’t notified that the tour we booked was sold out and our tour was switched without notifying me. The tour was awful!!! We were told it would be a live jazz band and open bar and we had neither.”
Review of Riviera Maya’s two-hour luxury sunset sail with hotel pickup, open bar, light dinner, Caribbean views, and practical booking advice.
“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 a small-group Merida tour to Chichen Itza, a private family cenote, Yucatecan lunch, and yellow Izamal.
“Everything was as advertised, and it was a really good idea to go early in the morning. It was easy to find the spot to meet our guides, they were there earlier with coffee. There are two big churches near each other, but only one is the cathedral, that might’ve caused another reviewer some confusion. The day was great, the pace was nice. We didn’t feel rushed or bored and the family meal and cenote was a highlight of the experience. Our guide was enthusiastic provided various details at the sites and was open to answering any questions that came up from the group.”
Review of Xplor Fuego in Cancun, with night zip lines, cave rafting, amphibious vehicles, buffet dinner, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON DOING ANYTHING DO THIS!!!! This is a at your own pace experience! No scams! No constant bargaining of packages and stuff! Its a an experience of adrenaline and fun! Every experience is a water filled one so wear your swim suit! But you wont regret it”
Cabo sunset yacht cruise with Arch views, premium open bar, chef-served dinner, and a calm adult atmosphere. See if the $199 price fits.
“This was a wonderful experience! We cruised the bay and went over to the pacific to see the Arch, Lands end and a beautiful sunset. Everyone was very comfortable in the front of the boat with cushions and pillows, and a huge pad to sit on. The view was great no matter where you sat. The team came by asking for drink orders and passing out charcuterie boards for appetizers. Then they brought out bruschetta too. We were called to the table and dined on filet mignon and shrimp, and roasted veggies. The dessert was a little disappointing, it was a small sized and everyone got only one bite of…”
Sail a private Leopard 51 yacht from Puerto Aventuras with reef snorkeling, chef-prepared food, drinks, paddleboards, and water toys.
“Wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were anticipatory of needs and professional in every sense of the word. The concierge service worked with my clients directly to determine their preferences. VIP in the truest sense. I look forward to working with them again.”

“Just wow! Food was superb. Setting romantic. Show out of this world.”
Float above Teotihuacan at sunrise, eat at La Gruta, and explore the pyramids on a five-hour CDMX day trip with transport included.
“Great communication, personal ride to balloon take off. Pickup upon landing. Nice breakfast at a hacienda. Personal walk thru of museum by pyramids and walked the archaeological site. Dropped off at door. I’d recommend it. It was a nice day.”
Review of Cozumel’s pirate ship cruise with sword fights, lobster dinner, premium open bar, dancing, and practical booking tips.
“Great time. Did this same trip 10 years ago. Had a blast. Took new people with this time and was worried that maybe the show had changed. Not at all. The crew was different but it was still hilarious and you can tell the crew is having a great time as well. That makes this fun. Our friends had an amazing time as well. The food was still great and you’ll never have an empty drink!!!”
Pick a coast, a ruin or a kitchen.
