Contoy and Isla Mujeres snorkel and island-hopping escape

4.2/5
125 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.

    This trip was such a beautiful experience on Astrix number 9. The crew were so kind and fun to be with. Isla Contoy is what you would imagine the perfect Island to be. The boat was spotless , very attentive staff and the food and drink was the best we have had out of our three trips. We were treated so well.

    Wundervoller Tag an Board der Asterix II. Super nette Crew, sehr gut organisiert. Naturschutzgebiet unglaublich schön, Isla Mujeres mit 1 h ausreichend und ein paar Souveniers zu besorgen. Der schönste Ausflug, den wir gemacht haben!

    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.

    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.
