Catamarang $55: Snorkel & Food
I visited the island with a Catamaran Tour Company and paid $55 USD per person. That price includes the boat trip, docking charges, all drinks, and a lunch buffet in the afternoon, as well as snorkeling in the sea — no extra charges required. We left Cancun at around 10:15 in the morning and returned at around 6 in the evening. On the catamaran, there's plenty of music and unlimited drinks, including beer, tequila, cocktails, juice, water, and more. Lunch was served buffet-style on the island and was really good. We were also given nearly two hours to explore the island. I rented a quad bike to get around, which cost me 600 pesos. My advice: do not book the quad bike from the boat, as they typically quote 1,200–1,400 pesos. You can easily find it cheaper once you're on the island — just walk a little further and you'll have people approaching you with quad bikes. One thing to note: when you hire a quad bike, they will hold your driving licence as a deposit. Also, there's no way to get lost since it's a one-way road throughout. After exploring the island, the boat took us to another part of the island where we had around 30 to 45 minutes to spend time on the beach. From there, the boat headed out to sea for the snorkeling session. I'm not a strong swimmer, but the crew helped me through it. It was a little scary at first, but I gradually settled in and enjoyed it. Tipping is quite normal in Mexico. It's entirely up to you how much you give, but the crew works hard and earns very little, so we left a tip. The crew were great throughout.

Lively and fun adventure!
We went on the Contoy Adventures Isla Mujeres tour on a Sunday afternoon so we could have live music. Our driver that picked us up at our resort was very kind and a really good driver. Felt very safe and taken care of between our resort and the ferry landing. When you arrive, it is very well organized and you pay your wharf fee and get your bracelets. Next is some photos and then you get on the boat. Staff are very friendly and set up people for snorkelling. Only one of our group did snorkelling. My husband enjoyed it and saw alot of fish and the statues. Next the music starts and the boat goes to Isla Mujeres. Staff will bring you drinks or you can go get them yourself. Great music, lively and fun. The guys on the boat get the party started. They ask you if you want to hold a whale shark. One of our group did it. Arriving at Isla Mujeres you go to a buffet lunch at Ice Box. Great buffet with lots of choice. Then to Isla Mujeres Centro for beach time or shopping. They bring you to a store as meeting spot. Store had a bathroom which is great! After shopping beach back on boat to the ferry dock. More dancing, more fun, and a lovely sunset!

Keep looking
Service was nice. The tour was dumpy. Food was inedible and the “beach” we had to spend 2 hours at for lunch was total trash. Waste of time and money! So many other companies out there I would recommend to look elsewhere.

Garza Blanco!!!!!
Garza Blanco Resort was outstanding! We were there for 15 nights and it was amazing. Be certain to arrange your ground transportation prior to arriving in Cancun. The taxi process was not honest or cost effective. Booked return airport trip through Booking.com

Super fun day!
Everyone on board went out of their way to make our tour the best experience but one man went above and beyond. I cannot remember his name, just that we joked about it being a girl’s name???! He was patient and kind, yet firm in his instructions and clearly enjoys his work. Kudos! Will do this exact tour again the next time we come.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Isla Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Isla Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Isla Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 216 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 Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour?
+
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 Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour 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 Isla Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour?
+
Around 76 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Isla Mujeres Island and Snorkeling Tour 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.
