The trip to the island of Contoy was perfectly organized. From the pick-up to the food to the snorkeling, everything worked great. The crew was great, very friendly, attentive and professional. Especially the tour on the island with Alexis was very instructive. He knew a lot to explain and has brought us very well closer to the nature, wildlife and the peculiarities of the island. The island itself is a paradise. Beautiful, quiet and unique. For us it was a clear 5-star trip and an experience we can highly recommend.
Good, but long boat journey. Spectacular scenery at contoy
I think all the tours are similar, so look for a low price and a big boat in case there is waves / the lagoon did not like and there were many mosquitoes, better to stay on the beach of island contoy, the food very well. Free time island women 1 hour and total time island contoy 3 hours. Snorkeling was not good, there was bad weather and we were stopped near the island but not on the reef
Contoy is absolutely beautiful. The trip was very well organised with a brief stop at Mujeres. Isla Contoy is like paradise. So glad we booked this trip one to remember. A special thank you to Rolando and the rest of the crew. You must book this trip!!!
Beautiful place but should close it for its importance and fragility, beach where turtles go to nest
Excellent tour! Very good boat and all the staff attending us at all times. Rolando one of the guides took us around the island and told us about flora and fauna of the island. Highly recommended!!!
This is a great trip for people who enjoy a guided boat tour, with stops in Isla Mujeres, Ixlache reef (to snorkel) and Isla Contoy. Isla Contoy is beautiful and peaceful. The only thing we found missing a little bit is clear information about sunscreen use and insect repellant. Both were not very appreciated by the crew on the boat (and of course we understand that conserving our ecosystems is important) and even taken away from guests while visiting the reef.
There were so many whale sharks, Probably around 60! Our captain Julian and guide Nae were wonderful. We had a great time swimming with them!
Very fun crew. Music was great, snorkeling was great. Fun for all ages. Ulisis was a great host. Our whole family had a great time and I would do this again.
The island was beautiful but please ensure they charge you correctly at the port. I paid for my excursion in full but when we got to the dock they were supposed to only charge us an additional 20 per person and they charged me 30 per person in Mexico peso and we never noticed the 20 EXTRA charge. I called them and after weeks of going back and forth showing them the receipt and the purchased document they reimbursed me the 20 dollar different. i know it not a lot but at this point consider it a donation to Mexico.
