Isla Mujeres y tour de snorkel

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.

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!

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 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

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.

It was a very fun day with ample time to do what we wanted. The best part was the staff attentiveness, all were great such as Willy Wonka, Martin and Keke. The very best was Ulysses!! Our Mom had mobility issues and he (along with others) was a godsend for helping with wheelchair and walker. We were a bit concerned how she would get around, but he was amazing right from the start!! Muchas Gracias to the staff!!!

It has been super fun, from the first moment we have been treated exceptional and we had a great time, I would repeat without a doubt, all the super friendly team and it is a memory for life

Literally the most fun boat ride I’ve ever been on! The staff is so fun and entertaining! They kept the drinks coming and consistently checked on us. They take you to snorkel, then to the island to explore, eat and swim! We even got caught in a rain storm and they got us back safely. Loved the music and the saxophone player. The staff especially Ulysses and Jesus made the trip so memorable!!

Snorkeling was quick, with choppy water so the visibility wasn't the best. Boat ride was smooth with good music and a fun vibe. Buffet on the island was decent and the beach was beautiful. Rolando was very attentive and helpful. He even spent time showing me how to use some functions of my Gopro that I had never really looked into.

Very, very good. Roberto the musician, plays saxophone and trombone, live, very good party on board. The snorkeling tour very careful, safe and tidy, the lunch buffet was very good too, all drinks on board included as well. All crew very cool, always willing to help. 100% recommended, sure you will have a good time.
