Overview

This eight-hour beach escape from Playa del Carmen includes visits to Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres with snorkeling and lunch. The tour begins on the boat with a light snack of juice, a banana, coffee, and cookies. Next, there is a guided snorkeling tour at a nearby reef where participants can see colorful coral and tropical fish, depending on weather and sea conditions. If snorkeling is not possible, extra time on the islands is added instead. The boat then arrives at Isla Contoy National Park, a protected nature reserve known for its many bird species. Visitors have about three hours on Isla Contoy to snorkel, swim, or relax in the island’s clear, shallow waters. After this, lunch is served on the beach and includes a choice of grilled chicken or Tikin Xic style fish, rice, totopos, salad, and fresh fruit. Water, soft drinks, and beer are available throughout the day. The tour continues to Isla Mujeres, where guests have one hour of free time to walk through the streets, enjoy the beaches, buy souvenirs, or have ice cream. A certified bilingual guide accompanies the group, and round-trip transportation from Playa del Carmen is included. There is also a coffee break during the trip.
