No emotion
We are talking about Concoy Adventure, a program of excursions to the homonymous island and isla de mujeres. Let's start by saying that the staff is kind and considerate. The boat is old, we went out with rough seas and the water went everywhere. The bar service is indecent. The lunch organized on the island even at the canteen of prisoners .. arrived on the two islands we were left to ourselves. I do not recommend it
Response from the operator: Gentile Cliente Questo tour è un tour di esplorazione della natura, è per le persone che amano esplorare la flora e la fauna. Ci dispiace che non ti sia piaciuta la natura, ti invito a scegliere un tour dall'elenco, quello che ti consiglio è un tour urbano.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY unless you're comfortable being canceled on with zero notice.
The communication with the company was fantastic right up until 8:50am when our ride was supposed to pick us up. After a few minutes of waiting, I decided to reach out to make sure we were following directions properly only to be informed that THE TRIP WAS CANCELED. Certainly I understand if weather wasn't permitting the boat to go out. It was a windy day. But the lack of communication about the cancellation was unforgivable. I got no apology. Nothing. In fact the guy was very rude and seemed annoyed that I was even bothering him. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY unless you're comfortable being canceled on with zero notice.
Response from the operator: We understand your frustration and want to emphasize that safety is our top priority. Strong winds can indeed affect our ability to sail safely, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation. While we strive to communicate such changes promptly and respectfully, we recognize the need to improve in this regard. Your feedback is crucial in helping us enhance our service standards. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We had a great time!
We had a great time! The tour guides were great and it was so beautiful. I am sad we didn’t get to snorkel but it has been windy so that was out of our control. The time at Isla Mujeres felt a little rushed and the breakfast was pretty nonexistent. The guys on the boat were fabulous and fun!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time on our Contoy Island & Isla Mujeres Adventure from Cancun. While we regret that you couldn't snorkel due to the windy conditions, we appreciate your understanding that some factors are beyond our control. We're sorry to hear that the time at Isla Mujeres felt rushed and that the breakfast fell short of your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will take it into consideration to improve our services in the future. It's wonderful to hear that you found our tour guides to be great and that you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. We're glad that the crew on the boat added to the fun atmosphere of the trip. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! If you have any further feedback or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. - David Lyke

Worth the money!
I’ve done tours all over North America & Europe including 2 this summer to Cozumel. This is one of the best tours Ive done regarding amenities, safety, & customer service. Transportation to the marina was in a well cared for, air conditioned van. Isla Mujeres was about 1 hr of free guided tour or free time. Water was choppy on day of our tour. I’m not a strong swimmer so I stayed on the boat during snorkeling. I noticed staff were helpful & very safety aware. My teen went alone with group & enjoyed it! We had a big group but for snorkeling they divided it up groups. I noticed we were the onmy boat out there until we were leaving another small boat got to there. They had a guide for each language of groups on board (eng, span, ital, french). They had a pretty big team of about 6-8 staff. Guides tried to make guests feel comfortable & made an effort to get to know all of us (even the quiet ones)! Lunch was good at Isla Contoy. There was only one other tour boat on Isla Contoy! They offered a guided hike through the island or free time to swim. Take bug repellent for the hike. On the way back guides were fun & entertaining with music & dancing. Open bar was a typical open bar. However, not once did i have to get my own drink. Staff did a good job of going around offering drinks. Ive never had a whole team be so customer service orientated & entertaining. They really work hard & deserve to be tipped well.

Cancun boat trip recommendation
The Blue Caribe team took us on a trip to Contoy and Isla Mujeres. They were friendly and professional. Drive to port was as short as possible with mini bus pick up but no where feels close and tragic can be bad. Felt safe and informed. Contoy was simply majestically wonderful and Mujeres was a shock in contrast to the peace of Contoy it is full on Mexican shopping, tragic, noise and busy. Personally I love the bartering and had saved my shopping for this trip. Sea was choppy for our snorkelling but we were well cared for. Equipment was provided. Heartbreaking that 60% of the worlds second largest reef is destroyed by man! Big thanks to Olga and Damien for a great day out. The whole day in reverse: Mujeres, snorkel, then Contoy for lunch, walk and relaxation would have been better but probably not possible. I’d do it all again!
Response from the operator: Hello, We are glad that you liked the contrast of the two islands, we hope that you can take this tour again or a complete one of Isla Mujeres so that you continue to enjoy the company of our staff

Why this scores 39
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches cost?
+
Prices start at $131 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 Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 39 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres: Nature, Snorkel & Beaches 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 Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, 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.
