In this expedition, we will visit two incredible islands of the Mexican Caribbean, Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres. These are two heavenly islands that you cannot miss during your visit to Cancun or the Riviera Maya. Isla Contoy is a natural national park, it is a paradise that very few privileged people have the opportunity to visit. Known as a sanctuary for migratory and native birds, rich in flora and fauna, it will fascinate you with its paradisiacal beaches and the turquoise blue of the sea that surrounds it, a place you will never forget. If the weather permits, we will do the snorkelling activity in the place where the second largest barrier reef in the world begins, just a few kilometres off Isla Contoy. At the end of your visit to Contoy, we will head to the beautiful Isla Mujeres, an island characterized by the charm of its beaches and its craft market, an ideal place to take home the best souvenirs from the Mexican Caribbean.

Saul
We were doing the boat trip activity to Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres; thanks to the good weather, we were able to snorkel on the reef. I recommend it one hundred percent. The guides, both Lorenzo and Saul, were fantastic and very involved in explaining everything you ask them.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que pudieron disfrutar del snorkel en el arrecife y que el buen clima les permitió vivir la experiencia al máximo. También agradecemos sus amables palabras sobre Lorenzo y Saúl. Les haremos llegar sus felicitaciones; estamos seguros de que les hará mucha ilusión saber que su dedicación y entusiasmo hicieron la diferencia. Gracias por elegir Blue Caribe y por recomendarnos. Un cordial saludo, Equipo Blue Caribe Tours 🌴🇲🇽✨

Bad experience in Contoy Islands and Isla Mujeres Tour
Contoy Island and Women Island. a fatal experience the ship was bad we were going to cram, there was nowhere to store things, there was a kind of mesh upstairs not very accessible. the guides that touched us fatal did not speak in Spanish said that the tour was in English (by mistake of the agency) that he would not bother to do in English and in Spanish but nevertheless he did speak in Italian with a group that came to weigh what they spoke Spanish. we did not do the snorkeling on the reefs. very badly organized and nefarious treatment of the guides I will not do anything again with this agency

Exit to Contoy and Mujeres Islands.
We were very disappointed by this release. We had been sold the visit of 2 islands with snorkeling. The bus came an hour late to pick us up. No explanation for the delay! No one warned us of this delay. In Playa del Carmen, the supposedly francophone guide was not! In Cancun, the guide this time francophone but not very inviting! In the boat, he announces that there will be no snorkeling break due to the waves and the weather while it was nice! Whereas 3 days before, with the same waves, or even more, we did it via another agency, which was great. In short, we go to Contoy Island. Very beautiful island. We eat fast. And offshore, we see a catamaran on which passengers go down in mask and snorkel in the water!!! Then Mujeres Island. Nothing nice. A city populated by tourists, and which on the seafront smells bad. I do not recommend this output, unlike the other 2 outputs made with 2 different tour operators. Very disappointed! And travel from Playa del Carmen long to see these 2 islands. Ps: the group that accompanied us had to pay 20USDollar per person tax!!! And no one told them that!

Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach. cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach. take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tulum is not rushed.
Is Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach.?
+
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 Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach.?
+
Around 3 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Contoy Island & Mujeres island, snorkeling & lunch on the beach. 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum 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, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch. 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 Tulum?
+
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 Tulum?
+
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.
