Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Boat and Snorkel Tour from Cancún

About this experience

This ticket secures a place on a full-day guided boat excursion departing from Cancún and visiting two islands in the Mexican Caribbean: Isla Contoy, a protected national park, and Isla Mujeres. Contoy is one of the most strictly managed nature reserves in Mexico, with daily visitor numbers capped by federal regulation to preserve its ecosystems. The island is home to nesting colonies of frigatebirds, pelicans, and cormorants, as well as coral reef systems that remain largely undisturbed. The guided tour runs for approximately nine hours and includes hotel pick-up from Cancún. At Contoy, the guide leads guests to snorkel over coral reefs populated with tropical fish, using equipment provided as part of the booking. The reef here is sheltered and accessible for most swimming abilities. After time on Contoy, the vessel continues to Isla Mujeres, a narrow island known for its calm western beaches and the shallow turquoise waters of the Caribbean facing Cancún Bay. Lunch is included on the day, along with soft drinks and an open national bar. Entry to Contoy Island is covered, though a federal maritime tax of approximately 15 USD per person is payable separately. This ticket is not suitable for wheelchair users, and the cancellation policy requires notice before the departure timeslot. Vehicles are not sold through this listing. Any vehicle used during the experience is supplied by the operator and returned at the end.
