Full description

Explore Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres on a day trip from Cancun or Riviera Maya. Experience rich cultural heritage and history, have fun snorkeling, relax on beautiful beaches, and enjoy a delicious lunch.

 

Begin with pickup from your hotel in the Cancun area, passing through Playa del Carmen, and arriving at the new private marina, located at the Punta Sam Ferry Terminal. Benefit from fast check-in and enjoy a light breakfast that includes sweet bread, fruit, cereal, coffee, and juice.

 

After breakfast and check-in, board the boat and head toward the Ixlache Reef. The reef is located off the coast of Contoy and right at the beginning of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second-largest reef system in the world.

Then, try snorkeling with your guide before boarding the ship and heading to Contoy Island. In the event of bad weather, you will do the snorkeling activity on the island in the safety of its shallow waters.

Disembark on Contoy Island and have the chance to sightsee with a guide and visit the museum, observatory, and lagoon. Go to the dunes and learn about the flora and fauna species of the island. Alternatively, choose to relax on the beautiful beach or do some more snorkeling in the Caleta area.

Next, enjoy a lunch of Pescado Tikinxic, a broiled fish with achiote and other local species as well as broiled chicken, rice, and salad, accompanied by your favorite drink with access to an open bar.

 

Finally, enjoy free time on the beach before boarding the boat and heading to Isla Mujeres. Visit the fishermen’s village or do some shopping, then head back to Cancun.

Really enjoyed this excursion, only suggestion I would make is more time on Isla Mujeres! Only get about an hour and a bit I’d rather less time on Isla Contoy (we got 3-3.5hrs) and cut it to give about 2.5hrs on each island. But it was fun, beautiful islands, fun guides!

Really enjoyed the tour! Everything was perfectly organized. Contoy is a paradise and Luis, the tour guide, has been amazing showing us around the island with great passion and enthusiasm! Lunch was good, too. We spent a great time on the boat. The crew has been just the best!

Pretty well organized. Our driver picked us almost an hour late, no his fault. Other guests were late. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, but people were using sunscreen and insect repellent despite being told it was not allowed for ecological reasons. Though our experience was priceless, the habitat is more important than our experience. Perhaps this should not be open to tourism. The staff was great. Plenty of drinks in our way to the islands. The food was ok, nothing great. Contoy island is beautiful, isla mujeres is nice too. Amazing beach
