In this article, you will find the range of prices and features offered by the best tour and excursion companies to Isla Mujeres so that you can compare, differentiate, and choose the best option according to your budget and needs. That is why we want to save you time and headaches by collecting the information directly from the providers' sites, and we hope it will be very useful for you.
Every time we plan our vacations, we spend hours comparing and organizing the activities we want to do and learning about the places we want to visit in Cancun or another destination like downtown Isla Mujeres whether our goal is to make the most of time or want to save money intelligently.
To start, like all research, it is always important to know about the company that can give you the tour service to Isla Mujeres, as it is, its location, who they are and their experience, as well as their TripAdvisor rating for Isla Mujeres catamaran tour category.
Another question that you may ask yourself when faced with so many options is what activities to do in Cancun or if there is a tour to Isla Mujeres in an all-inclusive catamaran. The answer is very simple: Worth it; the tour to Isla Mujeres by catamaran is in the Top 2 of activities to do in Cancun on TripAdvisor and in the Top 10 of activities to do in Playa del Carmen on TripAdvisor.
This tour is a must because it groups several activities into one that would separately cost you more money and time (for example, snorkeling in Cancun).

In general, all tours have the same itinerary but change for some variations or extras depending on the tour contracted, the quality of the service, the beach club, and the food. There is no catamaran tour to Isla Mujeres that is all-inclusive because dock taxes, being a federal tax, are ALWAYS separate. So, we describe the itinerary the various companies generally include, but each one will have its variants.
Once on the catamaran, during the trip, you will enjoy a good atmosphere organized by the crew and the open bar with drinks such as purified water, soft drinks, beer, rum, tequila, vodka, and whiskey (may vary depending on the tour or company).
Usually, the first stop is to do the snorkeling activity in Isla Mujeres in one of the beautiful reefs that wall the island (Here, you can learn about the best spots to snorkel in Isla Mujeres).
After snorkeling, you will usually be taken to one of the beach clubs to enjoy the facilities and food, which have varied options for all tastes.
After lunch, you will be taken to the pier located in the center of the island; from that moment, you will have approximately 2 hours of free time (this time may vary from the tour and operator) to visit the center of Isla Mujeres or have a good time enjoying the most famous beach in Mexico: North Beach of Isla Mujeres.
Back in Cancun, and if the weather permits, you can test your skills and courage with the Spinnaker activity, which will lift you to 5 meters high. This activity is not included in the Cancun Adventures tour. Instead, they offer paddle boards (although it's much more fun and exciting than the Spinnaker!).
We hope that this description of the tour to Isla Mujeres and the comparative table of companies and prices of the tour will be very helpful to you. You can consult our chat; one of our executives or the same bot will provide more information.
