★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 193 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $47Top rated

Cruise Xochimilco’s canals from Canal de Nativitas with hosts such as Paulina, Emilio, Odette, or Camila. Expect tequila, mezcal, cocktails, games, karaoke, pulque, edible insects, a Mexican dish, and a custom drink stop. This is a social party boat, not a quiet sightseeing cruise.

“Booked this last minute after hearing it was a good time - and it was! Our guide, Alan, had great energy and got everyone talking, dancing, and playing games together. Such a good playlist! Fun to do as a solo traveller - I ended up making friends with the whole boat crew and we hung out afterwards and other days of my trip. Be prepared to drink and get a little messy from taking a lot of shots 😂.”
