    Not for us

    This was a very expensive tour for what we got and did. 9:00 Pick up at hotel to dock area. 10:30 Boat to Isla Mejures for a bit of shopping, Light breakfast of apples and muffins were served enroute. 12:00 Boat to Contoy. Due to weather and water conditions we were unable to go snorkeling, But this was not the fault of the tour company. The ride to Contoy was over an hr long. 1:30 When we arrived, we noted how beautiful the beach was. As some of the travelers were Spanish speaking and some English, it was decided to do the tour in 2 trips. Spanish first. While this tour was going on, we were able to go swimming. 3:00 By this time we were hungry so we headed to the buffet. Lunch was not served until the first tour returned at this time. We were told that a second tour in English would leave after lunch, but it would only be for about 20 mins as we had to the leave the Island by 4:30. lunch consisted of rice, chicken, pasta, salad. We were very disappointed in this tour and would not recommend it unless you are very very much into environmental issues. They only allow 200 people per day on the Island. The cost of this tour was $175.00 per person Canadian.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience Contoy is indeed a protected Island, it's very important to preserve the nature and marina life that it has. We are sorry that you did not liked Contoy We will work into the improvements of the tour We hope to welcome you again to take you into an adventure that you would like!

    Too much to do

    We left 20 to 30 minutes late because we were waiting for people to arrive in a van. This impacted our time that we had at Isla Mujeres . On Isla Mujeres we only had one hour from the time we left the boat to return. The snorkeling area they took us to was around a single rock. It was very crowded and small. Snorkeling was nonexistent. The lunch was good and the national park was beautiful. In the future I would skip the Isla Mujeres portion because it is too short. We arrived very late back to the port and then there was no van for our particular group. We had to wait for 45 minutes for a van to arrive and take us back to our hotel.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience, all the delays in the transportation are taked in mind in the logistics of the tour The time at Isla Mujeres was only for an hour, since this is just a side stop. The snorkeling area is choosen due to the location and the species that live there, this is in order to protect the nature and the safety of all travelers We will work into the improvements of the tour so in the future more travelers can enjoy the entire tour

    Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.

    How much does Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cancun is not rushed.

    Is Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cancun can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cancun within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cancun?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Cancun : Cenote, Valladolid and Mayan Cuisine, Early Access to Chichen Itza with optional pick-up, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cancun?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cancun?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun?

    +

    Included: Open National Bar (available after the meal); Round transportation from Playa del Carmen & Cancun; Visit and free time at Isla Mujeres (1 hour); Snorkel Equipment; and Mexican Buffet meal. Not included: Dock tax 20 USD per person at the marina. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Contoy Caribbean Adventure! Round Transportation from Cancun include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 302 listed pickup locations in and around Cancun. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    +
