4.Local Fishing Plus Snorkeling Tour in Isla Mujeres

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 57 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Spend four hours around Isla Mujeres fishing with a licensed guide, then snorkel for 90 minutes among coral, angelfish, parrotfish, blue tang, and possible stingrays. Juan and captain Theo have guided guests through the experience, which suits families and mixed skill levels.

“We had an amazing time with Island Adventures on the private snorkeling and fishing tour. Snorkeling near a quiet reef with no other boats around was incredible, and our guide Juan pointed out so many fish and even a stingray. He also walked me through how to bait the hook during the fishing portion, which was fun to learn. Theo, our captain, kept everything smooth and relaxed from start to finish. The water in Isla Mujeres is bluer than any pool I’ve ever seen, and with calm seas and sunny skies, it was the perfect day. Highly recommend!”
