Prices across the options we compare typically range from $64 to $1,352, with a median price of $735. While you may see listings starting as low as $41 or going up to $2,396, the most common price band for standard group experiences sits comfortably within that $64–$1,352 window.

Yes, private tours are a very popular choice for this experience. Out of the 26 options we compare, 16 (62%) are tagged as private tours. This is a significantly higher share than many other local activities, making it easy to book an exclusive catamaran if you prefer privacy over a shared group setting.

Inclusions vary by operator, but roughly half of the options (50%) include drinks, while about a third (31%) provide meals and equipment. A guide is included in 46% of the tours. Most operators ensure the boat is provided, though this is listed explicitly in only 15% of options because it is assumed for a cruise. If you want food and beverages covered, look for the specific "Drinks Included" or "Meals Included" tags when comparing listings.

The duration varies depending on whether you choose a quick sunset sail or a full-day adventure. Most tours run between 2.5 and 7.5 hours, with a median duration of 6 hours. If you have limited time, you can easily find shorter 2.5-hour options, while those seeking a comprehensive nature experience should look for the longer 6- to 7.5-hour itineraries.
