Contoy Island & Isla Mujeres: Discover Nature and Local Culture Tour

Experience the tranquility of Contoy Island and the vibrant charm of Isla Mujeres on this all-inclusive tour, perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
For those who cherish nature and the serenity of uninhabited islands, Isla Contoy is a must-visit destination. Declared a protected natural area in 1961 and a National Park in 1998, Contoy Island is renowned for its rich biodiversity, making it an ideal spot for eco-tourism.

Your journey begins at 9:00 AM at the Marina Hacienda del Mar, just 100 meters from the archaeological ruins. Here, you’ll enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast featuring coffee, juice, and bread. At this point, you'll receive two bracelets: a white one for park entry (included in the tour price) and a yellow one for a conservation donation of $10 or 160 pesos, payable directly at the dock.

After breakfast, pickups are available at all hotels in Cancun. At approximately 9:30 AM, after signing the departure sheet, you’ll board the boat for an adventure that starts with snorkeling at Ixlache Reef, just off the coast of Contoy Island. This protected reef ensures excellent visibility and a wide variety of marine life. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and for safety, life jackets and a certified guide are mandatory for every 10 snorkelers. This activity lasts approximately 40 minutes. If weather conditions are not suitable, the snorkeling will take place in a nearby cove for your safety.

Once the snorkeling adventure concludes, you’ll head directly to Contoy Island. Here, you can relax on pristine white sandy beaches and swim in crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, including manta rays and colorful fish. Explore the island at your leisure, visit the museum, or climb the observatory to enjoy panoramic views. Guided tours are also available, where certified guides will share insights about the island’s flora and fauna and the fascinating bird lagoon.

Lunch Time: Enjoy a delicious meal featuring tikinchic fish, grilled chicken, garden rice, salad, tortilla chips, and fresh fruit. Water, soft drinks, and beers (served after snorkeling for safety reasons) are available on the island and boat.

After your time on Contoy Island, you’ll sail to Isla Mujeres, a vibrant fishing village where you can shop for local crafts or simply soak in the laid-back atmosphere for about an hour. This tour offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and local culture, allowing you to experience the best of both islands in one day.

The day concludes with a lively boat ride back to Cancun, arriving at the Marina Hacienda del Mar around 5:00 PM.
