Excursion to Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres lies in the idyllic Caribbean Sea, located north of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. This tropical paradise is located approximately 13 kilometers southeast of Cancun.

Yes, it is highly recommended to book a tour to Isla Contoy in advance. Due to access restrictions and the daily limit of visitors to preserve the island’s ecosystem, tours tend to fill up quickly, especially during high season. Booking in advance ensures that you secure your place on the excursion and that you can enjoy this natural jewel of Mexico without setbacks.

Isla Contoy is a bird sanctuary, making it an ideal place for bird watching such as the magnificent frigatebird, the white pelican, the royal tern and many more. It is also common to see sea turtles nesting on its beaches, as well as various species of tropical fish and rays in the surrounding waters. In addition, nurse sharks and other marine species may occasionally be sighted while exploring the coral reefs during snorkeling or diving.

Yes, this tour provides all the necessary equipment, including a vest and snorkeling equipment (goggles, tube and fins) to practice it in Isla Contoy.

Remember to bring a swimsuit, towel, comfortable clothes, shoes suitable for walking, sunglasses, hat and cash for additional expenses, as not all stores accept credit cards. Keep in mind that the use of sunscreen is not allowed in natural reserves.

Our tour does not include the federal Natural Reserve tax, which amounts to €20 per person and must be paid upon arrival.

Without a doubt, any time of the year is good to visit this region, although it is true that during the dry season, which runs from November to April, the climate is more pleasant and the waters are calmer for activities such as snorkeling and diving.
