Contoy Experience - Isla Contoy is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and these are the guys to visit it with. The crew were absolutely fantastic, they were all so friendly, funny, helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. Rolando went above and beyond, and provided a tour of the island.

A must do! - My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Cancun and were looking for something special to do as an excursion. The Isla Contoy Eco Tour was a perfect choice. It was a blend of learning something new and good old fashioned Mexican music and dancing. Roland, our main English speaking tour guide, was a gem 💎. His English was excellent, his knowledge was deep and his ability to entertain was rare. We highly recommend this tour, it’s a must!!!

Just Okay - Music on boat too loud and annoying. Weird beverage served on boat- tasted like warm, fake Tang? No one warned us about age 60 age limit for snorkeling until we were at sea. That’s ridiculous as I am a much better swimmer than many of those I observed snorkeling. Crew was fun. Boat ran well. I experienced it, just a marginal recommend from me as Mujeres is just a souvenir stop. I would not tell my friends to take this trip- too much loud boat ride for too little result.
