    This website is a scam.

    Bought tickets twice, figured the first time it was my fault…. Nope they send you some bs bar code and when you get to the docks, they make you call the number at the bottom of page the barcode is on. You call them and then a random Mexican answers the phone and just says hello? Then they say the barcode is your ticket and hangs up. If I could suggest anything, just buy your tickets in person at the docks. It’s cheaper, more convenient, oh and it actually works . Don’t use this company , it is just a scam. We paid 100$ for 2 tickets. 2 seperate days. So we lost 200 +tax$ usd.

    Horrible Experience, Unacceptable Discrimination, and Zero Customer Support at boarding deck

    Our family of six had a deeply distressing experience with Ultramar Cancun during our trip to Isla Mujeres. What should have been a pleasant family outing was completely ruined by gross incompetence, poor communication, and blatant bias from a gate staff member identified as **Claudia De La Mora**. When purchasing our tickets at the counter, the agent processed our order—which included one child ticket for my daughter—without any issue or mention of height restrictions. After waiting an hour to board, Claudia De La Mora stopped us at the boarding gate, measured my daughter, and demanded we purchase an adult ticket. Though frustrated this wasn't caught at the counter, I agreed to pay the difference so my family wouldn't miss the ferry. I told her to let my wife and children board while I stayed behind to settle the payment with the counter agent, Omar Valverde who walked over with a mobile terminal. This ticketing agent assured us that the boat will not leave until the payment is done. What followed was a complete display of hostility and discrimination. My wife wears a veil, and Claudia De La Mora targeted us with evident prejudice. Even though the counter agent assured me the boat would wait while we resolved the transaction, and **even though the ship's captain explicitly instructed her to let my family board**, Claudia refused to let them on. She actively went after my family, overruled the captain, and barred them from boarding. To make matters worse, the payment delay was entirely Ultramar’s fault—the counter agent's card terminal wasn't working due to lack of Wi-Fi. Only after he tethered the machine to his personal phone did the transaction go through. By the time I paid, my family had been stranded on the dock, forced to wait another hour and a half for the next boat, all because Claudia De La Mora made a deliberate effort to ruin our experience. When we sought help, **there was zero consideration, no empathy, and absolutely no assistance from the company.** Every single staff member refused to take action. They refused to offer a refund for our tickets or make any attempt to rectify the situation. Their only response was an indifferent instruction to sit and wait for the next ferry. The situation was severe enough that we had to involve the **Tourism Police**. After evaluating what occurred, the police cited that Claudia De La Mora acted completely inappropriately and that the issue was caused by gross miscommunication and misconduct on Ultramar's end. Management needs to take immediate action regarding Claudia De La Mora's discriminatory conduct and complete disregard for customer service and leadership instructions. To fellow travelers: exercise extreme caution when booking with Ultramar. Until management addresses staff discipline, refund policies, and basic payment equipment, this company cannot be recommended.

    Isla Mujeres ferry Ultramar

    It was an awesome experience, it was our first time in Cancun. Be booked the ferry to Isla Mujeres and hung out there all day. Playa Norte is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen.

    Response from the operator: Dear Sergio, Thank you for sharing your experience. It's great to hear you enjoyed the ferry service and had the opportunity to experience the beauty of Playa Norte. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again on a future trip. Kind regards, Amigo Tours Quality Team

    Efficient, Comfortable, and Entertaining

    We had a great experience taking the ferry to Isla Mujeres. Boarding was organized, the staff was friendly, and the ride was smooth. The vessel was clean, air-conditioned inside, and had plenty of outdoor seating if you wanted to enjoy the ocean views. The crossing itself was quick, and we appreciated how efficient the entire process was. We were traveling as a family, and everything from ticketing to boarding was straightforward. If I had one suggestion, it would be to provide a little more information about the return schedule and boarding process for first-time visitors, but overall it was very easy to navigate. We would absolutely use this ferry service again on our next trip to Cancun.

    Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun cost?

    +

    Prices start at $36 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 Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.5 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 Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 34 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 54 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 Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun?

    +

    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 Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun?

    +

    Around 19 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 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Round Trip Ferry to Isla Mujeres from Cancun 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.
