What To Expect
Join us on this great adventure on Contoy Island! We start by meeting at our office located in the center of Isla Mujeres for check in. From there we walk to the dock where the boat is located. We begin a journey that will last about 45 - 60 minutes to reach the island. Once we arrive at the island you will have 3 hours available on the island and you will be given a tour with a guide to explain everything about the island and its history, then you will be invited to come and eat a delicious buffet in a palapa, grilled fish (Tikinxik) or chicken along with its complements that are rice, pasta, salad. After enjoying the stay on the island we will proceed to make a snorkeling stop near the island as long as the weather conditions allow it and the captain decides that it is suitable to do so, then we will proceed to return to Isla Mujeres.

5.00Great trip. Beto and Capt. Memo were great. Beto went snorkeling with us and pointed out things we never would’ve spotted on our own, lobster, octopus, etc. Isla Contoy was fabulous. We loved seeing the birds around the lagoons. The lunch was legit delicious, much better than a typical lunch you get on a boat trip like this. Would recommend to anyone.
All good.

5.00The island is really beautiful and very well maintained and preserved. The tour was 10/10, we had no problems compared to other tours we took. The food was delicious, and the guide who touched us was very concerned about our group, was friendly and made our experience good. We were able to snorkel on the island and our equipment was good in quality and in good condition. It included good fins, mask and snorkel (on other tours I have taken all the equipment are bad). They were concerned to adjust our vest well so that it would be comfortable and float well. Everything discussed was included:)
Wonderful tour!

5.00Great tour! Isla Contoy is stunning, the tour arrived early so we had our pick of umbrellas. They offered a tour and had a wonderful lunch prepared. We weren’t able to go to the designated snorkel spot because of weather conditions so they found us another spot near the island with fish, starfish and stingrays. Highly recommend! Great guides and tour.
Highly recommended experience!

3.00We was unable to go on the tour, they had boat troubles. They did contact us a day before our tour to let us know it was canceled and they gave us a full refund with no issues. 3 star because we was really looking forward to doing the tour on our last day here.
Contoy Island is amazing

3.00The best thing about the tour was that we arrived first on the island and left almost last. You can bathe many times and the surroundings are amazing. Now, they put us together with a group of Americans knowing we were Spanish and asking for guidance in Spanish. The guide only addressed the Americans in English and except for a couple of times we asked him he passed us. He also says that they offer drinks and fruit, and they do, but fair enough, since at the meal we asked for water and there was only one small per head. The rest of the excursion was gone.
Contoy Island!

4.00Would have been a 5 rating if the weather cooperated and we could have snorkeled, but no one to blame for that! Otherwise had a great day, loved the boat ride & scenery at both Contoy & Mujeres, absolutely stunning. The guides were great, very friendly & worked hard to give us a nice lunch & boat ride.
Amazing birthday boat ride
