Swathes of pure white sandy beaches, tropical bird sanctuaries and coral reefs that dazzle beneath the surface of crystal clear water – these are just a few characteristics of Contoy and Mujeres islands. And, on this full-day boat trip, you'll hop across the sea from Cancun for a day of sunbathing and wildlife spotting.

Before boarding the boat at Marina MarAzul, you'll be treated to a light breakfast, ready for a day of pure exploration. Then it's across the waves to Isla Contoy. On the island, your guide will walk you through this protected eco reserve, where you'll be able to spot 152 species of tropical birds as well as turtles, stingrays and more.

After a lunch and some time to relax, you'll set sail for Isla Mujeres – a typical Caribbean island – where you can explore at your own pace, wander through the town or sit back on one of the pristine beaches.

Isla Contoy est exceptionnel c’est à faire !! Une île somptueuse, réserve naturelle, l’impression d’être seuls sur une île très pure, plage de sable blanc, eaux cristallines… on a eu le temps de se baigner, on a bien déjeuné, on a pris de magnifiques photos car que 200 personnes avec nous et 40 sur le bateau. Nous n’avons pas du tout aimé Isla Mujeres car beaucoup trop de monde, c’était la folie, on n’a rien fait

Absolutely fantastic experience, the isla Contoy is one of a kind, beautiful water, white sand. Dream island. We did snorkeling which was amazing experience as well and the to another island where we had some time to do shopping, food etc. Team was absolutely amazing. 10out of 10

Contoy Island is beautiful, but we found the Isla Mujeres crowded and busy, but understandable as it was probably due to the seaweed at most hotel beaches at moment.

Pick up at hotel was 30 minutes late which was concerning and we actually were going to head back to room when arrived

Es war ein sehr toller Ausflug, der genau so war, wie in der Beschreibung erklärt. Besonders lobenswert sind die tollen und jederzeit freundlichen Mitarbeiter. Insbesondere Sergio möchten wir danken für einen wirklich tollen Ausflug!

Our tour guide Damien was brilliant. He explained we wouldn't be able to snorkel in the reef due to unfavourable conditions. And in all honesty, I was glad to spend more time on Isla Contoy because it is stunning. So peaceful and beautiful. After our time there and a delicious lunch, we stopped off at Isla Mujeres. Again, another beautiful island, but so much more commercial. Also be aware that the boat crossings can get a bit choppy and wet (and hilarious!), but cover your ears!
