Wished we could join the dance floor but the cruise around the rock formations and around Cabo was fantastic. The food was good too with all you can drink alcohol!!!”

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!”

“This $375 total tour plus tips,, consisted of 2, 30-45 minute "back alley" stops and being dropped off at the marina over 2 hours before the "dinner" cruise . We scheduled a 6 hour tour, but it was actually 4 hours because the driver wanted to get off at 5pm. That wasn't fair....Should have sent someone who had the time to do a more scenic tour....SMH”
