We had a gang of about 40 people in Puerto Aventuras for a wedding. We had the brilliant idea to get everyone out for a boat ride and snorkeling with FatCat Adventures. Besides the wedding, it was the highlight of the week. The boat was awesome, the crew friendly, the Rum punch outstanding. We left the dock shortly after another... More

We booked this trip with Thomas Cook after someone from Fat Cats came to our welcome meeting. It was a brilliant trip, with plenty to drink (The Rum punch is amazing!). We went snorkelling and the guy who showed us around pointed out lots of different sea creatures and reefs. Had plenty of time to swim around too. Lots of... More

This is the best way to see the coast of the Riviera Maya and to experience all the natural oceanic wildlife. The snorkeling was brilliant and so was being thrown booze whilst floating in the sea, its a winner for me!

Spent 4-5 hours on a super nice and clean catamaran. We snorkelled, enjoyed the view and relaxed in the shallow water drinking beer. Lunch was a regular ham and cheese or tomato and ham or tuna sandwich. Nothing fancy. Got back to the hotel around 2pm which is great because you can still get more beach time afterwards!

Great afternoon adventure! We chose the adult only trip and had such a fab time first time I tried snorkelling which terrified me but I did it and saw a big turtle! Drinks flow steadily and a snack of sandwich and crisps sees you through. Staff are friendly and fun and the views are beautiful! There is family friendly which... More

We had a great time. One of the persons on the boat became ill, maybe a low blood sugar thing, anyway we had to turn back shortly after starting our 4 hour tour. They was very attentive to that person and got back to the dock quickly. After she was taken care of we restarted our 4 hour tour over.... More

We booked this trip while holidaying in Mexico. (booked through Thomsons rep @ hotel). We were booked on the afternoon trip. (approx 4hrs) Our mini bus got us there in plenty of time so we had a chance to explore the beautiful harbour. You get to see the dolphins, sea-lions and manatees. We were then helped onboard the catamaran. Not... More

Went out last week on a clear but very windy day. Rough seas - several people were sick. Snorkeling just ok - strong current to fight, guide didn't point out anything, second half was looking for a turtle, but just snorkeled over sand and bleached out coral. Only got to swim in the calm lagoon for 15 minutes. Owner was... More

This is a great 4 hour adventure. The crew is absolutely first rate and considering the snorkeling, food and copious amounts of beer, etc it's a very good value. The Cat is spotless which adds to the enjoyment.
