Pick up and port transportation was perfect. The staff explained each piece of the trip and directions were very clear. Don’t pass on the snorkeling part, it was great and we saw a sting ray plus other beautiful fish. Both islands were completely different and interesting: crazy busy shopping on one and peaceful serenity on the other. On the boat the staff was fun and attentive to all needs… please tip them well for their excellent service!!

Estamos agradecidos por haber elegido hacer tu actividad con nosotros. Sabemos lo importante que es tener una experiencia increíble como la que tuviste.
We traveled with LEANDRO ALBERTO GOMEZ (+52 984 141 0020) from Playa del Carmen, picked us up at the Riu Lupita . He took us to Puerto Juarez and there in a small boat we went to Contoy, IMPRESSIVE, made a tour and ate there. After snorkeling on the reef we passed Isla Mujeres and from there back to the hotel. A spectacular excursion, very well organized. Leandro and his colleagues attended us phenomenal. In fact they are invited to our house!!!. Great day, really!! Even my three teenagers have enjoyed!!! Not a single protest all day!! There's no money to pay for that. Eskerrik asko Leandro
Gracias por compartirnos tu experiencia, nos complace saber que tu día en Contoy ha cumplido tus expectativas. Esperamos seguir siendo tu opción para tus futuras vacaciones
Idyllic island for its beaches. The trip takes 1 hour from Cancun, an island very protected to maintain its biodiversity against pollutants. It is a real luxury to visit. There is visitor control a day, so as not to overcrowd its beaches.
Gracias por tu cometario y por haber elegido Isla Contoy en tus opciones para conocer. Nos complace saber que tuviste un día agradable.
We’ve been to Mexico a few times and to Isla Mujeres twice, so we wanted to switch it up and find a less traveled island. We stumbled across Contoy. This island is nationally protected and only allows 200 people a day. It was a great experience and the beach felt empty. Isla Mujeres is nice, but if you just want to enjoy the beach without all the vendors and the crowds then Contoy is the place for you! The company we used was Contoy Adventures. They were wonderful. Provided a safe and fun atmosphere, food, and drinks. I’d highly recommend this trip!! Pro Tip: bring bug spray. They’ll allow you to put it on before you get to the island. It’s absolutely needed if you’re taking the small hike on the island. It’s not a hike per se but provides some nice views. We were destroyed by mosquitoes in a matter of minutes.
We appreciate your opinion and we are pleased to know that you had a great day full of nature and adventure. In the same way that the staff team was part of the experience.
Amazing experience! Contoy is so pristine!! Snorkel at Meco very nice swim and Isla Mujeres stopover refreshing. Crew always looking after us, drinks and snacks yumi!! We really had a great time. Fell in love with Isla Contoy
Thank you very much for sharing your experience, your comment is helpful to us.
The most beautiful experience!!! You feel u own the beach as is private and the number of visitors is limited
Thank you for leaving us your opinion, I am sure that the place left a charm in your experience. We hope to help you again.
Last virgin island of Mexico. It is magic. The colors are incredible. The museum is small but if you are accompanied by Tlaltemoa Tonali, then you will find it fantastic! Bernard Lhermitte everywhere, lizards and pelicans. The beach is extremely beautiful. You eat a meal sheltered from the sun: it’s famous. But …. Even on a virgin island you always have a tourist who places his towel under an island umbrella to reserve it and who never returns!!
Thank you very much for leaving us your comment and for letting us know that you have had a great experience on the Island. We are pleased to know that the tour met your expectations.
Contoy is a truly amazing virgin island, exceptional views from any point of the beach but also from the inside. You can feel it freedom all the time, animals are just acting like there is nobody else in there. Just be careful with the sun as sunblock is banned and the weather is great but can be too much The restaurant was pretty good and the museum is really interesting. In 1 word, HEAVEN I would be going every day if possible!
Thank you for leaving us your comment, it is a pleasure for us to support you and to know that you have had a positive experience
A paradise on earth. Fairytale sea and peace. Entrance to the island is limited to 200 people per day so I recommend booking the excursion in time. The only negative note I found was the frightening presence of mosquitoes. A full-blown invasion. Then equip yourself with repellent. But otherwise..... that sea, that nature, are one of my best memories of the holiday in Yucatan.
Grazie mille per averci lasciato il tuo commento, siamo lieti di sapere che la tua esperienza è stata fantastica, comprendiamo il problema delle zanzare, tuttavia sappiamo che questo va oltre il nostro servizio. Ti auguriamo una buona giornata
