Isla Mujeres

The Basics

Most Isla Mujeres tours leave from Cancun, whether you want to travel by sailboat, catamaran, or motorboat. A snorkeling excursion is one of the best ways to experience the island’s diverse aquatic life, and many Isla Mujeres day trips visit the Manchones, El Meco, or Garrafon reefs. If you’re feeling daring, some tours include a swim with whale sharks, the world’s biggest fish. Combo tours from Cancun allow you to visit Isla Mujeres along with other Riviera Maya attractions such as Contoy Island (Isla Contoy), Xcaret Park, or Chichen Itza.

Great staff that made sure we had a perfect day in and on the water!
The staff on the Aqua Vite were very friendly, took good care of the whole group and made for a great day on the water on my brother's bachelor party. Aqua Vite Woo Woo became the mantra for the rest of our trip

Isla Mujeres Catamaran with Snorkel, Open Bar & Buffet lunch
What an amazing adventure! We upgraded to the private tour and it was worth it. Ruiz and he crew were great hosts. They explained safety tips. Drinks on the boat were amazing and unlimited. Snorkeling was delightful. We stop at Isla Mujeres and got time to shop and tour the island. On the boat someone got hurt, Ruiz and his crew provided great care and first aid. Ruiz remained with the injured person and took him to the hospital. I recommend that you book your chance to sail away!

Isla Mujeres Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Open bar and Transportation from hotel
My fam and I love this tour! The crew was fun, helpful, accomodating, and energetic! The boat was clean and neat! The music was litt!! The cocktails were so good too! The views were so beautiful; Isla Mujeres is beautiful! Although 3 hrs is just short to explore the island but we still had a great time! The only problem was - they said pick-up time is at 7am, but they arrived at 7:15am.

Discovering Isla Mujeres on a Double Decker Catamaran
It was an amazing trip! Everyone on the cruise was wonderful and super friendly. They kept us up on drinks and fun. The lunch was delicious on Isla mujeres, they waited for us on the cruise when we were running a little late. The island was beautiful. I recommend this to anyone looking for laid back trip and not too crowded.
Guide was very patient...

Deluxe Catamaran tour to ISLA.MUJERES! Open Bar, Lunch and Snorkeling included
Jerry and the crew were all fantastic. Snorkeling was beautiful and loved that we had the option to purchase photos. My only complaint was that there wasn’t enough time on Isla Mujeres to fully enjoy the island. We ate at a buffet 20 mins away which to me, I would have preferred to have the option to eat where we were docked to be able to use my time wisely. 1.5 hour was not it and goes by fast.
Great Catamaran ride but itinerary needs adjusting

Privilege Experience Isla Mujeres Tour
snorkeling was very good but way too short a time. Beach club was very nice and had great food. Too much time dedicated to downtown Isla Mujeres which is a tourist trap.
Book now! You won’t regret it!

Isla Mujeres Catamaran Adventure All Inclusive from Cancun
I absolutely recommended this excursion & this company! The crew is awesome! Friendly, helpful, & fun! The water is breathtakingly beautiful! The included buffet lunch & time on the beach was wonderful! The snorkeling isn’t for everyone b/c the water was a bit rough, but it may have just been the day we went (January). It didn’t detract from the fun at all. Isla Mujeres is gorgeous! If you are on the fence, book it! It’s worth every penny! Overall I give it a 10/10!

Because Isla Mujeres is only five miles (eight kilometers) long, most people use golf carts or scooters to get around.
