Here, we tell you everything you need about cabs in Isla Mujeres and a little more about transportation in general.

When we arrange our vacations, it is common to get excited about the destinations, the food we eat, the museums we visit, and even the things we buy. However, a common mistake many people make when planning their itinerary is not considering the time and price of transportation from point A to point B.

How much does it cost to get to Isla Mujeres?

You can get to Isla Mujeres by ferry or through all-inclusive tours. The ferry fare is approximately $ 240 MXN for a single trip and $ 450 MXN for a round trip.

If you are on vacation in Cancun, one of the best options to go to Isla Mujeres is to book a catamaran tour with ground transportation, food on board, and free time on the island, such as the Full Experience Tour! 

 

What transportation is available in Isla Mujeres?

There are several means of transportation on Isla Mujeres. Since the island is small, it is possible to get around on foot. You can also rent a golf cart to take control of your itinerary, as it is a walk in the park to learn how to get around the island.

Another famous means of transportation among visitors is the Isleños turibus. When you buy this option, you will receive a bracelet with which you may get on and off the bus at the highlights, paying only once.

While strolling around the island on foot is lovely, walking can be time-consuming. Or, if you are not very good at the art of driving a vehicle, a golf cart would not be a good idea either.

Taxi Cab: every traveler's option

Fortunately, as in any other destination, Isla Mujeres also offers cab service for locals and travelers. These cabs are dark red four-door cars with the cab number visible on the side. You will usually find these vehicles roaming the streets or parked outside the busiest places at the service of those who need them.

If you have doubts about places and distances, such as how to get to Playa Norte in Isla Mujeres, you can ask the cab drivers, who will guide you. Even though Isla Mujeres is only 8 km long, using a cab is very convenient to save time during your visit.
