Spend a day on two Caribbean islands: snorkel the Ixlaché reef, explore protected Isla Contoy’s birdlife, and relax on Playa Norte in Isla Mujeres — all with transport, buffet lunch and open bar included.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Blue water presses at the hull as the boat leaves the hotel strip behind; the Caribbean opens like a promise and the wind pushes you toward two very different islands. Isla Contoy arrives first — a low, bright spit of sand and mangrove where birds call like sentries and the reef slashes the channel with coral gardens. Later the boat drops anchor off Isla Mujeres, where Playa Norte’s shallow turquoise shelf invites a stroll and a swim.

Isla Contoy has been federally protected to conserve bird nesting grounds and reef habitat; local fishing and Maya activity shaped the islands’ human story.
Conservation
Visitors must stick to marked routes on Contoy and use reef‑safe products; the reefs are vulnerable to trampling and sunscreen chemicals.
