Beutiful places but the trip is too rushed
The staff was really nice and caring. But the trip is not worth the price meaning that the time spent at Isla Mujeres and Contoy is very limited, most of it is spent sailing on the boat. The snorkeling is only in a large group of people where you have to continuosly follow the group and with a life jacket, so you can’t really enjoy amd take good pictures underwater. As soon as we landed at Isla Mujeres we had 1 hour only, so the time to go to the public beach and come back is not enough to find a spot on the beach and have a nice swim. After 1 and half hour sailing we reached Isla Contoy, just the time to have lunch and a quick look around was already time to go back on the boat. Again, beautiful places but the trip is too rushed from Cancun. I would recommend to just take a ferry to Isla Mujeres and stay the whole day or take a trip to Contoy only from Mujeres and go back there.
Response from the operator: The time spent at Contoy and Isla Mujeres is exactly as advertised, Isla Mujeres was never the highlight of the tour The time at Contoy was enough to eat, drink, swim and sightseeing. Around 3 hours plus the Contoy Snorkel

Excellent
Excellent excursion and guides. Contoy Island is amazing, the boat trip was very good and then we went to Isla Mujeres which, this is personal appreciation, I did not love. I was sorry we couldn't snorkel.
Response from the operator: Nos alegra que haya disfrutado de la aventura, Contoy es una Isla muy especial Esperamos verlos pronto, la Riviera Maya aún tiene mucho que ofrecer

You need to see Contoy Island!
This was amazing! This Contoy island is a natural wonder that you don't want to miss! Tour guides were super knowledgable, the boat ride was awesome and the crew made the entire trip a blast!
Response from the operator: Contoy is a must for anyone looking for untouched nature and sea Our staff does their best to keep everyone invested and having fun

You can do better
Sorry, but i can't recommend this tour or this company. In summary Isla Mujeres is a must see tour. Isla Contoy not so much. For our experience the transfer to the boat was in a old van crammed with every seat filled. Most of the tour time was spent traveling to and from Isla Contoy. The island itself is not worth it. It's a very small beach front with no amenities (think no flushing toilets). Pretty place, but you can see it all in 20 mins. Once we got to Isla Mujeres we only had 45 minutes to walk around. This could be partially due to the bad weather getting there. We have been to Isla Mujeres before and thought this would be a bonus. My recommendation is to ONLY tour Isla Mujeres where you can spend all of your time there. You can tour the island with local taxi, eat and have a great time on the beach. Much more worth it. Lastly, we had about 30 people on our boat. It was more like a ferry. You will have a much nicer time on a catamaran with a smaller group.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen cost?
+
Prices start at $133 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 Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen 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 Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 15 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 Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen?
+
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 Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen 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 Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen?
+
Around 5 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 Isla Contoy & Isla Mujeres Tour from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen 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.
