Great tour!

Great day! Beautiful tour and tour guides were amazing! Rolando was awesome and took great care of us! Only thing that was a little misleading is that the open bar was only for some parts of the boat ride and another downside was it took us 3.5 hours to get back to our resort in Playa del Carmen after leaving the island which wasn’t the fault of the tour but just be aware while booking!

Operator response

Thank you for giving us the chance to share this experience with you! The guides always try their best to make the experience as unique as possible There is a mention about the open bar being available only on the way back, this is because some restrictions Contoy Island has about alcohol

Wonderful

A fab day out! Sufficient time in Isla de Mujeres, snorkelling on the reef in vast empty space as there were no other boats, Contoy is simply Caribbean beauty. Great hosting throughout.

Operator response

Contoy is indeed a Caribbean beauty, due to it's preservation laws, most of the area is free of people and boats This is the perfect place to enjoy the nature without any worries! We are glad that we got the chance to share this adventure with you We hope to see you soon! There's still plenty more to explore

Perfect Trip to Contoy Island

The trip was brilliantly from start to finish. We were picked up from Playa and arrived at the dock ready to get on the boat. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the actual experience of snorkelling in the sea on the reef as well as visiting Contoy and Isla Muheres was stunning.

Operator response
