Isla Contoy Tour with Ixlaché Reef Snorkelling

4.2/5
113 reviews

This is the triple crown of boat trips from Cancun. You'll visit the exotic Isla Mujeres, snorkel in the Ixlaché reef and round it all off with three blissful hours on the desert island of Isla Contoy. And in between, you'll get to glide about the Caribbean, soaking up those sunrays.

Your adventure kicks off at Marina Punta Norte, from where you'll sail towards Isla Mujeres while enjoying fresh fruit and bread on board. You'll have an hour or so to explore the island or lounge on one of its powdery beaches. Hop back on the boat and chill out as you head to Ixlaché reef. Snorkelling equipment is provided, and a guide is on hand. After an hour exploring the kaleidoscopic scenes below the waves, we'll make the short trip to Contoy itself.

A tropical hideaway covered in luxuriant vegetation, it's everything you've seen in countless movies – palm-fringed white-sand beaches washed by gentle waves. And the icing on the case is a buffet lunch on the island.

    Enjoyed having time in Contoy. We initially were collected in a bus at the same time as many families going in a completely different excursion and then put on a nice luxury boat for the snorkeling and had about 15 minutes in Isla Mujeres (both a bit rushed). Then went on a different to Contoy which although had some hard seats and so more uncomfortable was worth it for Contoy. Went passed Isla blanca which wished we could stop at.

    Staff are wonderful & fun! Safety is well followed. We love Julio, he is a great tour guide. The only thing was we were starving by the time lunch comes. We wished it was served a lil early than 3pm. But overall my husband & I had a great time.

    Super wycieczka! Dzika wyspa Contoy z dziewicza przyroda. Plaza jest po prostu rajska, z palmami, pelikanami i bialym piaskiem. Na wyspie moze przebywac jednoczesnie nie wiecej niz 20-30 osób, wiec wrazenie dzikiej przyrody jest niesamowite. Pyszny lunch. Cieple, spokojne morze. Dluga podróz katamaranem z portu w Cancun, po drodze nurkowanie na cudownej rafie z mnóstwem kolorowych ryb. W drodze powrotnej, Isla Mujeres, bardzo kolorowe miejsce. Mozna wypozyczyc samochód.

    Abholung am Hotel war pünktlich der Bus sehr eng bestuhlt und durch die Abholungen an den anderen Hotels waren wir gute 2 Stunden in dem Bus gesessen bevor wir in cancun am Hafen angekommen sind. Busfahrer beim aussteigen gleich darauf aufmerksam gemacht das wir das Trinkgeld nicht vergessen sollen. Im Hafen haben wir dann die Hafengebühr entrichtet und dann ging es los Ausflug war super nur zu empfehlen Rückfahrt auch 2 std Väter Busfahrer war super nett und hat nichts von uns erwartet bei auss

    Eigenlijk niets wat we minder vonden. Er waren niet zoveel vissen te zien, maar daaar kan niemand wat aan doen. Bemanning heeft echt sfeer gemaakt. En wat was isla Coyton prachtig. Het is 2 uur varen heen en terug. Wij hadden mooi weer en de zee was rustig.
