Cancún · ISLA MUJERES TOURS

The 15 Best Isla Mujeres Tours & Catamarans

60 tours  ·  from $20

The island is eight kilometres long and the ferry takes twenty minutes, which means the choice is really about the boat. These 15 range from a foot-passenger crossing to a full day under sail with snorkelling and an open bar, priced and clear on how much beach time is left at the end.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,418 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129Our pick

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a catamaran with hotel pickup, drinks, snorkeling, lunch, and island free time. The crew, including guides such as Enrique, Christina, Judy, and Abraham, keeps the day lively. Expect a social boat trip, not a quiet sailing retreat or serious reef excursion.

“The crew on the boat were wonderful! Very fun and engaging. Jumping in the ocean for a bit was fun and those that snorkeled said it was super cool, just lots of waves. Our visit on Isla Mujeres was great. The shop owners were a little agressive with trying to "sell" to us, but we ate at a wonderful restaurant and walked around the town.”

Head from Isla Mujeres or Cancun into the Caribbean Sea to find whale sharks from May through September. Felipe, Lolo, and other certified guides help two people at a time enter the water safely. The trip includes gear, snacks, lunch, drinks, and a small group capped at 10 people.

“Outstanding!!! A bucket list experience in a beautiful location. Wonderful crew with Felipe and Lolo. Those guys couldn’t have been better. We were very fortunate on our trip out to the whale shark location. There were dozens of them out there. My wife and I had two dives and each encounter was right up close with these magnificent creatures. Words don’t do it justice! I can’t guarantee that you’ll see the same amount of whale sharks we did, but you’ll be in the care of two guys who will do their very best to give you a great experience. BTW the ceviche is fantastic! I’m not normally a fish guy,…”

We chose to anchor next to playa Norte and enjoy the beautiful crystal clear water.”

“My friends and I really enjoyed this beautiful Isla Mujeres escape for half of the day! Everything outlined in the description was as expected, regarding timing and all required costs. (Optional costs are noted in my review below). The boat staff, operated by Cancun sailing, was very professional and knowledgeable and clearly explained everything throughout the day. They were also so friendly and helpful, always offering refills of drinks. Some of the drinks available besides water were margaritas, tequila sunrises, and rum punches. We got an explanation and choice as to whether we wanted to snorkel or just stay on the boat. The snorkeling was worth it, and we even…”

Leave Cancun before breakfast for a boat trip to the protected whale shark area. You swim in pairs with a guide, usually two or three times, then stop at Isla Mujeres’ Playa Norte for ceviche and beach time. Guides such as Herbert, Angel, Manuel, and Xavier have earned special praise.

“This was an amazing trip and totally worth the money. If you do one thing while in Mexico this is it. Pros- whales sharks are awesome and are not going to hurt you. Snorkel gear is included. Able to purchase photos and videos from the shore but you are also able to take your own. Everyone gets time in the water which is fair but would be better to have longer. Cons- lunch is provided but they don’t cater well - ham sandwich You have to wear a life jacket or pay $15 to wear a wet suit as they state you need to have some buoyancy. Take sea sickness…”

Crew members such as Angel and Jessie keep the party moving, but weather and age rules can limit snorkeling.

“Good music and views. That’s about it. Food was terrible. Dried bread, and fruit for “breakfast.” Drinks were gross and not quick service. We ended up not going back on the boat and stayed to find our own way back.”
