Your Experience

Getting started

Begin your full-day tour with round-trip transfers from your hotel or meeting point in shared air-conditioned transportation. Once on board, settle in with a light breakfast on the transport that includes a cereal bar, cookies, fruit, juice, and coffee. As you travel toward the Caribbean reef and Isla Contoy, your crew prepares you for the day’s guided activities.

What to expect

Caribbean reef snorkel

This part of the day focuses on the guided reef snorkel tour in the Caribbean Sea, where you enter the water from the boat.

Features

• A guided reef snorkel tour with equipment and life jackets provided lets you swim alongside tropical fish in the Caribbean reef under the supervision of the crew.

• All necessary snorkel gear is included, so you can focus on the underwater scenery rather than logistics for masks, fins, or flotation.

Isla Contoy nature reserve

Isla Contoy is a virgin nature reserve and sanctuary for exotic birds and marine life, visited only on regulated trips to protect its ecosystem.

Features

• You can join an optional guided tour of the Isla Contoy reserve, then enjoy free time to explore the protected nature reserve at your own pace.

Beach lunch on Isla Contoy

Your midday break takes place on the beach at Isla Contoy, with food and drinks served right by the shoreline.

Features

• A beach grilled lunch features chicken or Tikinxic-style fish, served with rice, salads, tortilla chips, and sauces so you can choose from several components on your plate.

• Beverages including bottled water, soft drinks, and local brews accompany lunch and are also available during the day, complementing the beach grilled lunch in a relaxed setting.

Isla Mujeres

Later in the day, the tour continues to Isla Mujeres, where you have time to explore on your own.

Features

• You have free time to explore Isla Mujeres, including around 1 hour to walk through its colorful streets, visit shops, or take photos in the town area.
