5.00Great day! Beautiful tour and tour guides were amazing! Rolando was awesome and took great care of us! Only thing that was a little misleading is that the open bar was only for some parts of the boat ride and another downside was it took us 3.5 hours to get back to our resort in Playa del Carmen after leaving the island which wasn’t the fault of the tour but just be aware while booking!
Go!!

5.00A fab day out! Sufficient time in Isla de Mujeres, snorkelling on the reef in vast empty space as there were no other boats, Contoy is simply Caribbean beauty. Great hosting throughout.
Perfect Trip to Contoy Island

5.00The trip was brilliantly from start to finish. We were picked up from Playa and arrived at the dock ready to get on the boat. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the actual experience of snorkelling in the sea on the reef as well as visiting Contoy and Isla Muheres was stunning.
