Isla Mujeres Tour with Transportation — Catamaran, Open Bar & Snorkel from Your Hotel
The Isla Mujeres Tour with Transportation is the same full catamaran experience as our group tour — El Meco reef snorkel, open bar all day, free time on Playa Norte and Hidalgo Avenue — with hotel pickup and drop-off included from your Cancun or Riviera Maya hotel. You do not need to navigate to the marina. We pick you up at your hotel lobby, transfer you to the departure marina, and bring you back at the end of the day. The $25 per person upgrade over the group tour price covers door-to-door service and is the most popular option for guests who prefer not to arrange their own transport.

Hotel Pickup

Board the Catamaran — Open Bar Opens

Sail to El Meco Reef
The catamaran sails north along the Cancun coastline before turning toward the open water and Isla Mujeres. En route, the crew anchors at El Meco reef — part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef system.
Snorkeling at El Meco Reef
Your guide leads the snorkel group over the reef. Parrotfish, blue tang, sergeant majors, barracuda, moray eels, and occasional sea turtles. Non-swimmers stay on board. Life vests required for all in the water. Equipment provided: mask, fins, snorkel, life vest.
Continue to Isla Mujeres
Re-board the catamaran and continue to the island dock. The crew entertains on board. Open bar continues during the crossing.
Free Time on Isla Mujeres
Walk to Playa Norte, explore Hidalgo Avenue, browse local shops, or simply sit on the beach. Your guide provides orientation at arrival. Meet back at the dock at the specified time.
Return Sail + Hotel Drop-off

Why Choose the Transportation Option
The catamaran experience is identical to our group tour. The $25 per person difference covers door-to-door service — your driver picks you up at your hotel lobby, transfers you to the departure marina, and brings you back at the end of the day. You do not need to research how to get to the marina, arrange a taxi, or worry about being late for departure.
For guests staying in the Riviera Maya — Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Akumal, Puerto Aventuras — the transportation option is particularly useful. The marina is in Cancun, which is a significant drive from the southern Riviera Maya. Having a confirmed pickup removes the logistical complexity entirely.
The open bar, El Meco reef snorkel, free time on Playa Norte and Hidalgo Avenue, and the return sail are all the same. The only difference is how you get to and from the marina.
