Isla Contoy Private Day Tour, from Cancun

Your day begins with early morning pickup and private transport to Cancun's marina, where you'll board a private boat and set off towards Isla Contoy. The trip usually takes about 45 minutes, depending on weather conditions. Along the way, your captain stops at the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef on the planet. Here, you'll have ample time to snorkel along schools of colorful fish, sea turtles, and manta rays and bask in this unique underwater world before continuing on to Isla Contoy.

The tiny Isla Contoy is home to white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a great diversity of sea life including marine turtles, manta rays and dolphins ― not to mention more than 150 resident and migrant bird species. As one of the Mexican Caribbean's most important places for nesting birds, access to the island is limited. On this private excursion you'll enjoy a unique opportunity to be one of only 200 people allowed to visit Isla Contoy daily.

On arrival, spend some time taking in the island's incredible wildlife and then continue the day as you wish: strolling along the island's pristine beaches, going for a dip in the crystal-clear sea, or kicking back beneath a palm tree. Isla Contoy simply exudes peace and tranquility.

Your customized tour also includes a complimentary grilled lunch, with exclusive service just for your party.

When you're through dining, return to Cancun via private boat and ground transport.
