We are talking about Concoy Adventure, a program of excursions to the homonymous island and isla de mujeres. Let's start by saying that the staff is kind and considerate. The boat is old, we went out with rough seas and the water went everywhere. The bar service is indecent. The lunch organized on the island even at the canteen of prisoners .. arrived on the two islands we were left to ourselves. I do not recommend it
Gentile Cliente Questo tour è un tour di esplorazione della natura, è per le persone che amano esplorare la flora e la fauna. Ci dispiace che non ti sia piaciuta la natura, ti invito a scegliere un tour dall'elenco, quello che ti consiglio è un tour urbano.
The communication with the company was fantastic right up until 8:50am when our ride was supposed to pick us up. After a few minutes of waiting, I decided to reach out to make sure we were following directions properly only to be informed that THE TRIP WAS CANCELED. Certainly I understand if weather wasn't permitting the boat to go out. It was a windy day. But the lack of communication about the cancellation was unforgivable. I got no apology. Nothing. In fact the guy was very rude and seemed annoyed that I was even bothering him. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY unless you're comfortable being canceled on with zero notice.
We understand your frustration and want to emphasize that safety is our top priority. Strong winds can indeed affect our ability to sail safely, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation. While we strive to communicate such changes promptly and respectfully, we recognize the need to improve in this regard. Your feedback is crucial in helping us enhance our service standards. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact us.
We had a great time! The tour guides were great and it was so beautiful. I am sad we didn’t get to snorkel but it has been windy so that was out of our control. The time at Isla Mujeres felt a little rushed and the breakfast was pretty nonexistent. The guys on the boat were fabulous and fun!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time on our Contoy Island & Isla Mujeres Adventure from Cancun. While we regret that you couldn't snorkel due to the windy conditions, we appreciate your understanding that some factors are beyond our control. We're sorry to hear that the time at Isla Mujeres felt rushed and that the breakfast fell short of your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will take it into consideration to improve our services in the future. It's wonderful to hear that you found our tour guides to be great and that you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. We're glad that the crew on the boat added to the fun atmosphere of the trip. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! If you have any further feedback or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. - David Lyke
I’ve done tours all over North America & Europe including 2 this summer to Cozumel. This is one of the best tours Ive done regarding amenities, safety, & customer service. Transportation to the marina was in a well cared for, air conditioned van. Isla Mujeres was about 1 hr of free guided tour or free time. Water was choppy on day of our tour. I’m not a strong swimmer so I stayed on the boat during snorkeling. I noticed staff were helpful & very safety aware. My teen went alone with group & enjoyed it! We had a big group but for snorkeling they divided it up groups. I noticed we were the onmy boat out there until we were leaving another small boat got to there. They had a guide for each language of groups on board (eng, span, ital, french). They had a pretty big team of about 6-8 staff. Guides tried to make guests feel comfortable & made an effort to get to know all of us (even the quiet ones)! Lunch was good at Isla Contoy. There was only one other tour boat on Isla Contoy! They offered a guided hike through the island or free time to swim. Take bug repellent for the hike. On the way back guides were fun & entertaining with music & dancing. Open bar was a typical open bar. However, not once did i have to get my own drink. Staff did a good job of going around offering drinks. Ive never had a whole team be so customer service orientated & entertaining. They really work hard & deserve to be tipped well.

The Blue Caribe team took us on a trip to Contoy and Isla Mujeres. They were friendly and professional. Drive to port was as short as possible with mini bus pick up but no where feels close and tragic can be bad. Felt safe and informed. Contoy was simply majestically wonderful and Mujeres was a shock in contrast to the peace of Contoy it is full on Mexican shopping, tragic, noise and busy. Personally I love the bartering and had saved my shopping for this trip. Sea was choppy for our snorkelling but we were well cared for. Equipment was provided. Heartbreaking that 60% of the worlds second largest reef is destroyed by man! Big thanks to Olga and Damien for a great day out. The whole day in reverse: Mujeres, snorkel, then Contoy for lunch, walk and relaxation would have been better but probably not possible. I’d do it all again!
Hello, We are glad that you liked the contrast of the two islands, we hope that you can take this tour again or a complete one of Isla Mujeres so that you continue to enjoy the company of our staff
