A private speedboat whisks you from Puerto Juárez to Isla Mujeres for snorkeling on the Mesoamerican Reef, beach time at Playa Norte, and a seaside lunch. This half-day escape blends marine life, soft sand, and local flavors with private transfers and a bilingual guide.

You step off the speedboat and the Caribbean breathes against your face — a warm, salt-scented gust that pushes you toward a band of white sand and shallow, strikingly clear water. The guide points to the reef line where parrotfish and angelfish thread through the coral; the ocean dares you to dive in.

Apply reef-safe sunscreen at your hotel
Most sunscreens harm coral; put on biodegradable or reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply only on exposed skin after swimming.
Bring a dry bag
Protect phones, wallets, and cameras from spray and sand—small dry bags are easy to stow on a private boat.
Time your departure
Morning departures usually mean calmer seas and clearer snorkeling; afternoons can get windier and busier on Playa Norte.
Check snorkel fit ashore
Test snorkel masks for leaks before entering the water; a leaking mask greatly reduces visibility and comfort.
