Paradise Islands – Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres Tour
Cancun
Description
Join us on an incredible voyage to the stunning Caribbean Islands of Contoy and Isla Mujeres. Board our comfortable boats and prepare to be blown away by the beauty of these islands.
We will visit Contoy Island, a protected nature reserve that is home to an incredible population of bird species and a variety of ecosystems. Explore the coastal dunes, mangroves, and lagoons with your guide, and be amazed by the beauty of this “pearl of the Caribbean Sea.” The crystal clear, shallow waters of the island’s beach are perfect for swimming and relaxing, and a delicious freshly prepared lunch will be provided.
We will also visit the island of Isla Mujeres, just 8 miles off the coast from Cancún. This typical Caribbean island is known for its picturesque small town, colorful streets, and beautiful beaches. During your 1-hour free time on the island, you can visit the famous Northern Beach (Playa Norte), ranked as one of the best beaches in the world, do some shopping, or try some of the local homemade ice cream.
Throughout the trip, you will have the opportunity to see some of the clearest waters in the world, and with a bit of luck, you may even spot dolphins, turtles, and other marine life. Our experienced guides will also take you on a guided reef snorkel tour, where you can see the vibrant coral and tropical fish that call these waters home.
We are passionate about our paradise islands and love sharing them with our guests. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience – book your spot today!

Swimming with the whale sharks was worth every penny! No sunscreen so wear a swim shirt or rent a wetsuit. Our Captain Solomon was fabulous and our guide Nano was fun, energetic and did everything he could to make this a magical experience for everyone on board. We were the first pick up and last drop off which meant for a super long day but highly recommend!!

We took the whale shark watching tour; we had a fantastic day with tons of sharks. Truly a dream. I would recommend it a thousand times over.

This was an amazing excursion. The Captain knew right where to drop you in so you can swim along the whale shark. If you hesitate, you ok be behind. The captain’s mate did a wonderful job of orienting you once you jumped in the water and he took amazing photos and video. I definitely recommend Gluup for this trip.
