    If you visit Cancun and enjoy tequila and boat rides, you cannot miss this. Although a bit expensive, you will have a really good time. There are 3 food courses: appetizers, hot meal, and desserts from different parts of Mexico. This experience is perfect for families, couples and friends. You will get to meet other tourists; and since this experience is 3 hours long, they provide the opportunity to get off the boat to utilize restrooms and purchase souvenirs while listening to live music.

    Such a phenomenal experience! The boat host has you try so many fun activities, and it's great that they feed you too. The performances by the bands and mariachi's you pass by are 10/10. It's one of my favorite things to do in cancun. Also, I'd bring mosquito spray if you're going at night!

    I got engaged here and it was the most amazing place ever for an engagement! It’s so beautiful and fun; and it’s great to meet people from all over the world there. We have lasting friends from Russia that will still talk to across the world in Canada and we met them here :)

    This was such a fun experience. They serve Appetizers, drinks, shots, dinner, dessert, and Mexican candy while you float down the river and listen to different bands play. Make sure to wear something comfortable because you are outside and there's a lot of dancing🕺

    We had blast during this fiesta. Food was ok and drinks were light but this was absolutely worth it for the lively Mexican traditional experience. We found the photo package to be expensive esp. because you can take pictures on your own. Also, be sure to tip the staff who take you on the boat as they do really spend quite a lot of time and energy to keep the vibe going.

    We had a great night. Highly recommend! The food was really good and there were plenty of tequila drinking games! There are a lot of mosquitoes but on the boat there's a mosquito spray free to use for anyone

    This was a fantastic experience, everything was authentic to Mexico and tequila shots galore. It's ALOT of alcohol and a good time so know you're peak. There are 3 suspended bridges and a glass bridge to get to the boats. They are beautiful but after drinking and walking back over them its definetly like the squid games so be aware.

    The park is gorgeous! We went to the Xoximilco dinner party and we had a spectacular experience. I would like to thank Alejandro in the Maria Bonita boat. He went above and beyond helping us and entertaining us with good humor and creativity. 1000/10.

    Great experience! The ambience was great!the workers were polite, nice and helpful. Great variety of LIVE Mexican music floating on gondolas along the ride, beautiful accurate cultural attire. Typical food sampling was interesting. The dessert sampling plate was perfect. Unlimited drinks was a plus. Very much recomended

    It was the highlight of our trip!!! Thoroughly enjoyed interacting with our host Dario and other guests. His attitude and energy were everything ✨️ 🙌🏾 😌 Loved the "pass the bottle" game. Loved the live bands!! The entrance location is unbelievably scerenic. We couldn't help but take photo after photo. While the food was delicious, we couldn't finish it in time because we were drinking the tequila. Wish we could take the food that we already paid for, but it was discarded after we got off the boat. It was replaced for free, but again, we couldn't eat it due to drinking. I hadn't eaten much before, so I had saved my appetite for the fiesta boat. Really wish we could have taken our plates to go to try all the delicious food, that's my only complaint. We left hungry and had to spend more money to eat after paying over $300 for 3 people. Overall, we still had an amazing time, and I highly recommend it as Dario was the best, most humorous host. Just be sure to eat before you start heavily drinking. 9.5/10 experience Chelsey

    Very fun place to visit if you are in Cancun. Our guide was fun! Food were just samples but enough to taste all. Alcohol was non-stop.

    Had a blast and would do it again!! A wonderfully unique and memorable experience. Make sure you love tequila, because it flows like water and gets everyone together and dancing to the amazing mariachi musicans. Great to try all the variations of food and dessert, and the "guides" on board are in on all the fun and work to get your party going from the start.

    I highly recommend this tour. It is so fun. Staff is so amazing. I want to say it's not so much for kids because of the drinking. I took my 2 little kids and they had fun but were telling me people were acting crazy lol. I gave it a 4 star because the food was cold and to me for what you pay you should get hot food not little samples. FYI eat before you go. Other then that it's such a great experience. I would definetly go back.

    I will start by saying we all had a great time at Xixomilco! I wanted a good cultural experience for my boys, ages 15 and 9. This is their first time in Mexico and this was a great fit for that. Just a couple of things that would have changed this from a 3 star to a 5 star experience. First, we are native English speakers and one of the things I looked for in reviews were was this appropriate for mainly English speakers. I realize we are guests here and so not every activity is a good fit for us. Based on the reviews I was under the impression that we would be put on a English or a Spanish boat. We were placed on a boat with 3 other native English speakers. Our host did an amazing job trying to be bilingual with every thing but it was very hard to do and sometimes we just kind of got left out at our end of the boat. Everyone from our pilot, to the host along with all of the passengers were fantastic. We just got a little lost sometimes trying to figure things out. The only other thing that I felt was a downfall, in my situation is the pricing for minors. I thought my ticket was priced very fair for the extras that come with being an adult. I did think that for the kids it's was a little expensive. Couples or all adults, well worth the price! For the record my kids both gave this 5 stars. Even though they were the only kids on the boat they loved it!

    I'd highly recommend this excursion. It was extremely fun and high energy throughout. The staff was great. We danced and played games and had a few great stops along the way. Lots of people were wearing mosquito spray. We didn't want to stink so we got on Amazon and bought mosquito repelling wristbands that worked just fine without smelling like bug spray. Not recommended for kids or families. Better for adults and couples.

    This was so much fun! My sister's and my 83 year old mom loved this. Food was great all the drinks you can drink and plenty of tequila. The Mariachi's we're so good!

    We were hesitant to try this. But so happy we did! We stayed at the Xcaret hotel & it was easy to book and they pick you up at the hotel:). Edwin was our party man! He was seriously the BEST- deserves a raise! It took a VERY long time for our boat to start having fun & Edwin tried his hardest to make everyone dance and sing, but unfortunately half of the boat was lame (not his fault). We are SO happy we had him as our host! Highly recommend doing this and if you have the option to choose, choose Edwin!

    Had a WONDERFUL time. The air-conditioned bus picked us up promptly from our hotel lobby and got us to the park in no time. Hector and Moises, our tajinera guide and "driver," made the night a fun and memorable one. Would recommend visiting if you're in the area and have an evening free. The experience is geared more toward adults, but the kids are welcome. We had our five year old with us, and it was a bit much for her. There is plenty of alcohol on board, and you're given a bit of several different foods to try; small portions. Thanks to Hector for making a call in advance for a special meal for our daughter as she wouldn't have eaten the food provided. The bus was ready for us at the end of the night and drove us back to our hotel.

    Booked this for my birthday dinner, it was indeed a fiesta. Our host Luis made sure everyone was having a good time and plenty to drink. My mom said this was the most fun she’s ever had, ever… and we had just gone skydiving that afternoon. It was a great time. Recommend getting some bug spray, they do sell some in one of the gift shops but it’s super greasy. Food was good, got to try different things and Luis explained what everything was. Definitely recommend trying it out for a great Mexican fiesta and hospitality experience.

    We had such a great time, meeting people and enjoy the Mexican culture.. my husband wasn't to exited to go as he was tired from xavage, and he loved it! We had a good time and we were with our 14 years old son that didn't want to go either, and he enjoyed it as well. Recommend

    Yes please!!! I will do this every time I go to cancun. This is a great experience. Our boat host was amazing, the games were fun! The tequila never ended, the shows were perfect. Went with my wife and cousins and we all would do it again.

  • 5/5 Carla R. 10 months ago on Google
    How fun, best to enjoy with friends. This was a different experience, the guide and captain make of the trip a fun journey. They make everyone introduce and each person has to pick a challenge: Dance, yell the Mexican scream or have a shot… there are several stops to enjoy music from different regions and they serve food which to me was not great but good enough to have something to eat during the almost 4 hrs journey. in my opinion not for kids cause at some point people may get drunk and use harsh language but up to you. it is very fun and an experience worth of doing at least once

  • 5/5 Britany D. 10 months ago on Google
    This is an absolute must do if you are visiting the Cancun area. It is a party with a lot of drinking, other drinks options are included. A small meal and desserts are included as well during this phenomenal experience. We had a blast with all of the pictures, games, practicing our Spanish, and dancing. If you do pay for the photo package, the pictures come out amazing and totally worth the price.

    What a great evening. A real Mexican Fiesta. Great songs, good Tequila, interesting Mexican food. Starts a bit slow, but quickly become really fun to go from a Trajinera to another one. Good experience to celebrate my birthday!!!

  • 5/5 Nay N. 1 year ago on Google
    Fulfilled evening upon a boat, regarded as the floating fiesta. Each boat seats about 22 passengers, plus the captain steering gondola style and the host or master of ceremony who keeps the entertainment going with party games, singing and gets you up on your feet dancing as u sail along the lazy river making stops along the way to endulge in live music from traditional singers and mariachi bands. There's an open bar on the boat (ice boxes full of drink, soft and alcoholic) plus lots & lots of tequila. They even have photographers to take pics for u to purchase (they offer a digital photo package for 40 USA dollars, additional fee for printing). Highly recommend this excursion if visiting cancun/ Caribbean coast of Mexico. We had a great time, strangers became friends on board our boat. The trip cost 129 USA dollars which is approximately £104.00. This covers your admission, coach transfers, food and drink. I would definitely do this excursion again 😊💃🏽🇲🇽

    Quite the party!!! The mole (all food really) was amazing. Chef's kiss. Felipe and the captain were attentive, entertaining, and great dancers! Absolutely recommend to any party animals and families looking to dance down the river. Tequila galore!

    A FUN place for you to have a good time it's here... ALL you can drink and all the fun you are capable to haven on a boat float. Dancing, drinking and knowing people from different parts of the world in one night.

    Not going to Xoximilco will be the biggest mistake of your life! You won't regret going and having fun experiencing this Beautiful Mexican 🇲🇽🙌🏻🥰 culture!! To experience my culture in that way was a highlight of my trip!!! 😁

  • 5/5 Carlos M. 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience. The whole family have fun kids adults, we loved it. I highly recommend this activity more for adults since the major point is to drink, listen to music and adult atmosphere. The Host keeps you entertained all night food was very good and drinks were of quality.

  • 5/5 Oscar O. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is amazing! Very colorful, the environment is very happy. Once you reach the colorful boats (trajineras) it gets even more exciting! Once you board the boat you may start drinking coke, they also have diet coke, beer and tequila, the tour is well designed, they make 4 stops in total, in which 3 of the are music, you're in the boat and there's also love music boats, norteña, banda and mariachi. I got super drunk lol, I loved the environment in general!
