Escape to Isla Contoy, a serene, uninhabited Caribbean island tucked away from the bustling crowds of Cancun. This magical Mexican paradise boasts pristine white beaches and clear waters, surrounded by stunning natural landscapes and diverse wildlife.

Just a short distance from Cancun, Isla Contoy is a haven for nature lovers. It is home to over 150 bird species and is an important nesting site for seabirds in Mexico's Caribbean. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the island are also home to an abundance of sea life. Protected as a National Park, Isla Contoy limits daily visitors to 200, ensuring the preservation of its untouched beauty, so be sure to book your trip in advance!

You can embark on an adventure with a certified guide to Isla Contoy. On the morning of your trip, you will meet your crew, as well as other visitors on your boat (unless you’re taking a private group trip), and you will set off on a relaxing and gorgeous boat ride. Be sure to keep your eyes open for dolphins and turtles that can be seen sometimes on this route. Weather permitting, this trip allows you the opportunity to snorkel at the nearby Ixlache Reef, known for its colorful coral and marine inhabitants. This reef, located at the beginning of the Great Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, is the second-largest coral reef in the world. You may be able to see beautiful coral and brightly colored fish such as parrotfish and angelfish, and possibly even some turtles.

Upon arrival at Isla Contoy, you can explore the island with a guided tour and visit the museum before indulging in a beachside lunch featuring chicken, fish, and assorted sides. Spend the afternoon swimming, birdwatching, or simply relaxing on the pristine beaches.

As the day draws to a close, savor the memories of your tranquil getaway as you journey back to Cancun.
