Isla Mujeres by catamaran

Isla Mujeres sits about twenty minutes' sailing off Cancún. The excursion runs on a catamaran, with an open bar during the crossing, music and an easy, sociable mood. The crossing takes in the turquoise water of the Caribbean before a snorkeling and swimming stop in open water, conditions permitting.

Once on the island, around an hour and a half of free time in the centre of Isla Mujeres lets you wander the streets, the shops and the local atmosphere. The outing continues with about an hour and a half at a beach club, by the sea. A buffet is served during the day.

The mood on board is deliberately lively, with music and an open bar: a format that suits travellers who want the sea in a festive, sociable setting. Catamaran capacity varies with the boat, generally between 30 and 80 passengers, the boat being assigned at check-in at the marina. If conditions do not allow the swimming or snorkeling stop in open water, it may be dropped and replaced with more free time ashore.

Good to know: because of the festive mood, the music and the open bar, this excursion is not recommended for families with young children. A golf cart to explore more of the island is available as an extra. The 20 USD maritime tax per person is not included and is paid on site.
