    Do not book through this company!!!

    Do not book through this company!!! No contact possible with this company. Today we were supposed to have a tour, only we never had a pick-up time. I have emailed them within the opening hours, called, apped on whatsapp and via insta, but no contact and never had a response. We waited 2 hours in the lobby, but they never picked us up.... Hopefully we can still get our money back...

    Too many people

    In the boat we were more than 30, not max 20 as written in the description. This is a misleading marketing communication

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the group size did not meet your expectations. The tour description refers to the maximum size of the small boats used for certain parts of the experience, which can vary depending on operational logistics on the day of the tour. Transportation to the area may involve larger vessels, which can accommodate more guests. We understand how this may have caused confusion and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We will review the wording in the listing to ensure it is as clear as possible for future travelers. Thank you again for your feedback.

    Contoy and exceptional guides..

    The tour was run by Coco and Juan. I was also a guide and I found the guys very professional and attentive. The tour includes snorkeling in the open sea and they coordinated everything perfectly despite some sudden currents. The island is extraordinary, I'll leave you a photographic taste. I would say a paradise for the mind as well as lots of heartfelt laughter if you have the right guides. Sandra

    Paradise Island 10/12/2022

    Nicest trip of our trip. Dreamlike beaches, unspoilt nature. Speedboat tour was an experience. The most atmosphere was created by the guides, who with their energy and life friends made the tour a unique experience! Many thanks for this to Xenia, Sil and Juani.

    Real Caribbean flair

    The Isla Contoy is extremely worth seeing real Caribbean flair very nice and clean beach. Only 200 people a day are allowed there because it is a nature reserve. Important not to use sunscreen

    Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres cost?

    +

    Prices start at $199 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 Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 13 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 Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres?

    +

    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 Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres?

    +

    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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres 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 Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Lunch; Breakfast; and Round trip transportation with A/C. Not included: Photos; Souvenirs; and Marine life conservation tax, Puerto Juarez. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 249 listed pickup locations in and around Cancun. Be ready about 150 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, Portuguese, English, Italian, Polish, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Paradise Islands Tour: Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Not recommended for infants. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
