Another DIY experience. We took a taxi to El Cid Castillo, a resort about 11 km from the port. Next door is Aqua Sports, which will panga (water taxi) you to Deer Island for $15 each round trip. We snorkeled off the beach there a couple times, and the water was murky so it wasn't easy to see the fish. We water-taxied back, then automobile taxied back to the ship. Our second outing was to visit the historical part of Mazatlan and do a little shopping in the giant market full of tiendas. Read Less

It's obvious Mazatlan has less money in the economy. Their taxis are relentless and will honk and harass you untill you take their taxi. Watching the divers were fun and there is quite a bit of beach but overall wasnt that memorable. Read Less

Less touristy. "Michael's Gallery" is a mile walk, but very reasonably-priced hand-blown and hand-painted glass and clay items. Read Less

No good shopping. Read Less

Walked to old Mazatlan. Was an easy walk, enjoyed it very much. There were guides and volunteers around the main plaza. Read Less

Mazatlan is a great place to go walking. There are guides on the corners near the port and a blue line to lead one to the square in the center of town,. Read Less

We have been on this cruise several times, we explained this to Jose and we had the BEST tour ever Read Less

horrible our guide Andres was horrible. Why would a fish market be a big deal to take people to that are on a cruise ship? Did not take us like the excursion i paid for. Read Less
