Isla Contoy with Isla Mujeres – Wild Nature & Turquoise Water

Off the Caribbean coast of Mexico, Isla Contoy is a striking contrast to the resorts of the Riviera Maya. This small protected island, known for its untouched beaches and its biodiversity, takes a limited number of visitors each day to preserve its environment.

The excursion starts with a crossing to the Ixlache reef, where a snorkelling stop lets you explore the seabed with the gear provided. Tropical fish, coral and clear water give a first sense of how rich these waters are.

Arriving on Isla Contoy leaves about two hours of free time to enjoy the beaches, swim or simply take in a setting that has stayed largely untouched. Lunch is included, with an open bar. On the way back, a stop of about an hour on Isla Mujeres gives you time to explore the island and enjoy the Caribbean feel one last time before boarding again.

An excursion that brings together snorkelling, protected nature, tropical beaches and two of the coast's landmark islands.

Book ahead: access to Isla Contoy is capped by a daily visitor quota. Depending on the season, you may need to book up to a week in advance to secure your place. The 20 USD federal maritime tax is not included.
