    Not smart

    My som was Having a panic attack, the staff was concerned of their own work area.. We basically asked to walk to get fresh air.... The episode became hostile Emi immediately. My son was given water in a warm cup and not medical attention until I became hostile. Medic came and took my son to a dark area to evolute him outside the Punic area. We were sent out of the park by military escorts.. guns... I will never come back to Mexico, and I use to love this place. .

    This activity seemed to go on forever. Endless music . . . Endless heat. . . Endless water . . . Endless drinks . . . Endless opportunity for fun. They really are about entertainment and constantly interacting with the participants. It was interesting to see a lot of the sites on the river and learn about the foods, culture, and customs.

    If you don't care about food too much and you're looking for a booze cruise, then this might be for you. Lots of beer, lots of tequila, and lots of shots. The entire tour is roughly three hours long and you're on the boat the majority of the time. I would highly recommended to bring bug spray or to spray it before you get on the boat. I wasn't thinking about mosquitoes at all and got bitten quite a few times. The boats all have different names and have different decorations. They are super cute. During the tour, you only get off once or twice so that they can clean, refills items, and give you a chance to take a bathroom break. The basis of the tour is that you're supposed to ride the boat around Mexico. You discover the different types of music and cuisines from different regions of Mexico. The first round of food was just appetizers. They give you pork rind chips and tortilla chips to use for the various dips that they provide. Then they bring a main course of different proteins cooked in different ways. Then the final course was different desserts. The dessert was definitely disappointing because most of the it was not any baked or cooked desserts. Most of it consisted of candies you can certainly buy for cheap from a local grocery store. The tour could be improved to make it better for english speakers who don't understand spanish. Although our guide spoke english, it wasn't great because the humor from when he spoke in spanish definitely didn't translate into english. The tour did start off fun, but it was just too long and we were just tired by the end and wanted to get off. I do believe that the website is misinforming. It says that the minimum age is 5 years old but this is more adult themed with all the drinking you can do.

    I'd highly recommend this experience when in Cancun. There are certain experiences that you will likely never experience anywhere else in the world and this is probably one of them. We were picked up from our hotel at 7pm by a bus that was filled with maybe 50 people all heading to Xoximilco, so the vibe was super party like. We were all allowed our own boats (more like gandolas) and we're on our way. The boat had a couple of hosts who were super talkative and inducing a party vibe. There were a bunch of beer, paloma and tequila. They started us off with some appetizers and the boat kept going through some canals. En route they stopped by boats that had a live mariachi band in them. The boats probably spent 10 mins or so by the mariachi boat and we all got up and danced. Around an hour into the night, we stopped at a dock and some women came and loaded up our boat with food. The food was not bad for something that was like a pre fix menu. In another hour we stopped for a bio break, there was more music and dancing. When we got back on the boat we all had plates filled with Mexican sweets. We played a few games including the one where we held hands and got light electric current passed through us (yeah you heard that right). The experience lasted 3 hours and we probably passed by 4-5 boats that had bands/ mariachis playing. By the time I got back on the bus, I was pretty drunk and slept through the journey back to the hotel. Definitely a night to remember.

    Snacks, soda, juice

    Definitely highly recommend when your in Cancun!!! Good for any celebration, birthdays, anniversary etc... or if you just simply want a good time! We were celebrating my birthday and were with other groups celebrating birthdays as well. Me and my honey were the only non-spanish speaking, but Ivan did a great job translating everything! We were on the boat Tlaxcala. Highly recommend Ivan! we had a blast! Theres music, food, dancing, tequila, soda, snacks. Its classic mexican food, I liked it. We went in the afternoon since the night time was already full. The only thing I would suggest is maybe put some lighting underneath the floors on all sides of the boat to ward off mosquitos when it gets dark. I really wanted to do the night time, but im kinda glad now that we did the afternoon. Definitely put on mosquito spray on your exposed skin especially when it gets dark. Also, I suggest wearing light colored clothes, preferably white since mosquitoes tend to be attracted to darker clothing. Overall what a great experience!!! Would definitely come back again! Great for groups or a date! I would want to try the night time one, since it looks so pretty especially with all the lights. Thank you again Ivan!!! And all the staff!

    I started not to go, something told me -"just go!" I'm glad I did, it was all of that! The concept is a brilliant tourist activity, even locals were there with their families! Floating boats on a river making different stops along the way while listening to Mexican tunes and enjoying different popular foods. You don't actually get off the boats, but you do stop to hear various Merachi bands play-it was awesome! There's a host on each boat, they play icebreaker games that'll keep you laughing and taking shots all night. I had A BALL! Never had so much tequila in all my life LOL. Approximately 6 hours, It didn't feel like it since I was enjoying the night meeting new people, dancing and laughing. It is family friendly, kids are welcomed!

    I hate the watermark that they put on these "professional" pictures.

    I really enjoyed going to Xoximilco. It would have been nice to actually see Xoximilco during the daytime as the premises was very dimly lit at nighttime. I paid extra to have "professional" pictures taken, but after receiving the pictures, they don't look quite as professional AND they plaster their logo on every picture they took, so I highly suggest not to get the picture package. When I purchased the admission package through the Xoximilco website, I also included pickup from my hotel. The pickup experience from the pickup location was very easy and stress free. Due to the fact that we are in a pandemic, they did spray hand sanitizer on my hand multiple times, as well as spray the bottom of my shoe. Also, I showed the "tour guide" my passport, credit card, and voucher from their website. They only accepted originals of your ID and credit card, so make sure to bring the originals. If I had to do it all over again, I'd bring another ID so you don't have to carry around your passport. My passport was my only ID so I had to show them that. We were driven to Xoximilco which seemed to be around 45 minutes. The tour guide basically walked us to the boat. This is also the time where I bought the photo package. When I got to the boat, there was definitely more than 10 people on each boat, contrary to what the website says. It is basically a party for 3 hours, so make sure you can drink. I drank quite a bit of tequila that night. The food wasn't so great, so don't expect it to be anything spectacular. The first round of "food" includes a side of crickets, which I definitely did not eat. Once the 3 hours tour is over, I walked back to my shuttle where they took me back to my hotel. Overall, I had lots of fun, although the next day was a little rough, a sign that I definitely enjoyed myself.

    The MAIN attraction - getting drunk...

    NOT for gringos. Great for alcoholics who speak Spanish. It is ridiculous when you pay for entertainment, yet the passengers are asked to tell jokes and stories to amuse the other passengers. Six bottles of tequila later, everyone else on the boat had a great time. 1. When we registered, we spoke in English, and the manager said to the woman at the cash register to put us on an English speaking boat. 2. We spent over two hours on a boat that only spoke Spanish. 3. After we left the boat, we found the same manager and told him we were on a Spanish only boat. He said that was a mistake. We gave him our ticket information. He said he would ask about a refund. 4. We never got the refund. We did NOT receive the service we were told - to be on an English speaking boat, but their customer service refuses to refund us, so we opened a dispute.

    Muy divertido para la gente que le gusta bailar y el ambiente fiestero. El paseo incluye comida típica Mexicana y bebidas ilimitadas, también te dan un plato con diferentes dulces igualmente típicos de México. El recorrido dura 3 horas y te van llevando a escenarios donde en cada uno hay músicos que hacen ambiente para bailar con diferentes géneros musicales. Si no eres de los que te gusta bailar y estar en un ambiente de alcohol y risa y bromas entre desconocidos, esto no es para ti y serán las 3 horas más largas de tu vida.

    Amazing time! Felipe and ismael were amazing!!! Go Coahuila!! Such a fun time, I've come here three times and each time it's amazing, definitely a must try!

    DISCLAIMER: If you are the shy timid type and you do not like to be around a lot of people. DO NOT sign up for this attraction. So far, this is one of the best excursion of all time. Do not miss out! This boat party begins at 700pm so make sure you eat before you come because they will serve you a platter of different tidbits of food from all over Mexico and you will be served a platter of sample candies as well. ***There will be a big bottle of mosquito repellent lotion available to you by the restroom as soon as you arrive. I advise you to use it. Better safe then sorry! You will board a boat with 20 other people. Our boat was called VIVA CANCUN. There are about 20 boats with different names on it. (Look at pictures provided). By the end of the tour, you will know everyone's name. Our host Paulino made the experience very fun while Sebastian was steering the boat. You will be spending the whole night on the boat eating, drinking and partying and interacting with the other people on your boat. Paulino played fun games so you can get to know the people on board and played drinking games. There is an open bar with beer, tequila, vodka, sodas, and margaritas. The host encourages you to drink your heart's content. There are 2 phases to the party madness. The first phase is where you have a light dinner with snacks and the host is explaining the parts of food from different parts of Mexico. In the center of the plate, you will find roasted crickets, yes roasted crickets. I thought they were messing with me u till I saw them in the center of the platter. Then the boat will stop so you can get a 10-15 minute bathroom break but make sure you return within 10 minutes or you will be left behind. The second phase is entertainment and you are encouraged to dance on the boat. The boat goes through the canals and each stop will have different live Mexican music. It's like a night club on the boat. Everyone is upbeat, happy, and dancing. Great positive vibes. I highly recommend this attraction when you visit Cancun. Great times! Dont forget to tip the host and the boat stee

    Was the highlight of our trip in Cancun. It is a must if you want to try different food and have a good time. Make sure you bring bug spray.

We selected the 4-hour charter, which included the snorkeling excursion, snacks (ceviche, guac, and chips) and an open bar. Our guests had an incredible time!! The boat came equipped with clean restrooms, great snacks, and the staff kept the drinks flowing. If I could have done it again, I would not have personally done the snorkeling, as the waters were pretty challenging (even with a life vest) and not much marine life could be seen. We were lead in the water by our guide, but went pretty far... Despite our crew giving instructions to signal for assistance when needed in the water, our crew completely forgot all instructions when I actually needed help. Instead of coming to rescue when I signaled for help, they waved back at me... could have met my maker, but here I am, living to fight another day.

We cannot say enough great things about the staff, catamaran and overall wonderful time our group had. In total we had 33 people, 28 adults and 5 children which fit very comfortably on the catamaran.
