Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres with All Inclusive Snorkeling

ESTEFANIA_O, Nov 2025

Isla contoy and Isla mujeres

I have to say that they sent me that the meeting point was in Puerto Xtabay and once on site they could not find my reservation, good thing I got in touch with the travel operator and they put me in touch with the guide, we could take a combi that took us to the meeting point in Punta Sam, although we arrived somewhat late they waited for us, we could have breakfast and boarded. From there, everything was great, we visited Isla Mujeres, I recommend changing money there the exchange rate is where I found it best, then we snorkeled with Josue it was an amazing experience we loved and finally we visited Isla contoy where we ate a delicious meal and could repeat dish, plus Josue gave us a small talk and excursion around the island explaining the ecosystem of the place.

Amazing adventure in 3 cenotes with transportation

Kimberly_R, Jul 2025

Cenote Extravaganza

This is a FUN! We loved jumping in the cenotes, a great adventure with kids who love platform jumping and swimming. The water is cool and refreshing. The truck is like riding the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. Our group had a great time, it is very touristy, but we are ok with that.

Isla Mujeres in Catamaran All-Inclusive, Snorkeling and Kids Free

barritamarisquera, May 2025

Spectacular day in Isla Mujeres

This tour was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. Since we got on the catamaran, the atmosphere was amazing: good music, drinks, and a super friendly team that did everything to make us have a good time.The journey to Isla Mujeres was beautiful, with turquoise waters and dreamy views. We stopped for a snorkel and it was a wonderful experience, the water was clear and we saw many fish. Upon arriving to the island, we had time to walk, relax on the beach and enjoy the place without rush.The beach club where we ate had good food and a comfortable space to rest. Everything was very well organized and the team was always watching us.If you are in Cancun and want a different, fun and all-inclusive day, this tour is 100% recommended. I would repeat it without hesitation.

Awesome two days

The first day was Tulum and Jacqueline was our tour guide and she was fabulous. The second day was Islam had us and Alex was our entertainment and he was great and all of the staff on the boat were wonderful. Also, the transportation to and from the hotel was great. We were very far because we were in Tulum and they picked us up and we very timely and brought us back both times, it was a great experience. I highly recommend them.
