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.

The guides were entertaining, passionate, knowledgeable and committed to the preservation of Isla Contoy. Taking the catamaran with them looked far more fun and much nicer than the other tours we observed at the island. The lunch was fantastic and perfectly timed on arrival at Isla Contoy after snorkeling. Drinks, music, singing provided by the staff were so great they had everyone laughing and loving every minute. Shuttle pick up/drop off at hotel worth every penny. Well organized and recommend highly!

Snorkeling: nothing to see or very very few fish, plus all lined up in hundreds in single file like ducks to reach the boats, we could have easily done without it. Great atmosphere on the boat, super pleasant staff, serving alcoholic drinks all day long, music a little too loud but nice, the overexploited island of Mujeres is a striking contrast compared to the wild island of Montoy.. Overall beautiful day

Excellent activity from start to finish! The pick-up and transportation were perfect. The French speaking guide is great and the team is great! Atmosphere guaranteed with the bartender/dj. The time distribution is excellent, approximately 1h30 on Isla Mujeres and 2h30 on Isla Contoy with a short tour of the island. Lunch at Isla Contoy was super good and the beach is really amazing, the water super good! The drinks available on the boat are good. Little extra: a photographer is there with you throughout the day and offers to buy them at the end (they are super beautiful)!
