Great day… but snorkeling too rushed - We booked this trip mostly to visit Isla Contoy. The little island was very peaceful. Lunch there was excellent. The staff was great. The quick stop on Isle Mujeres was enough for me. Nothing by the pier was worth seeing. My one suggestion for improvement would be to change the snorkeling system. We all got in the water and then were forced to follow along in a line. We made a giant circle in the water. Racing to keep up and keep in-line. There was no time to just be in nature and watch the fish. We also had to wear life jackets. I wouldn’t mind so much if the like jackets actually fit. However they are all huge and uncomfortable. It’s difficult to even swim. I’ve snorkeled over 200 times in my life, and this was a very strange way to do things. I would have preferred to swim close to the boat on my own and at my own pace. Despite this, I would still recommend this trip. If snorkeling is the main thing for you… book a different trip. If your main interest is a boat ride and a beautiful little island… choose this one.

Two islands of Earth Paradise, with a perfect fun - We had a perfect day with Pepe and Diego as guides! With a guided walk, lots of free time, and a very delicious lunch at Isla Contoy, a fantastic snorkelling and also free time at Isla Mujeres, and a perfect fun and tequila drinking on the boat! :) Thank you, Derek, for the great photos! :) And thank you all, for your patience about my first-time snorkelling! :D

Excursion Isla contoy and Isla Mujeres - Lovely and super fun excursion, our guide was pepe and we didn't have a great time, it was super lively.
The tour is a charm, worth seeing the two islands. Especially Isla contoy.

From Contoy's calm to Women's chaos - The tour was generally very good. The team was lovely! Special mention for Pepe, who made us laugh all day, and for Alexandra, who was just super attentive and adorable ❤️
Contoy Island is a protected gem of nature. You can only visit a small part of the beach (about 100 meters), so there is not much to do (especially for 3h)... but it is a very quiet place and out of time. Not much to see in the water. Since there's no coral, there's no fish. And you can't use sunscreen obviously to protect fauna and flora. There isn’t much shade either, so hat and be prepared for a little “Caribbean touch” on the skin.
Isla Mujeres, on the other hand, is the opposite: lots of people, lots of construction, golf carts everywhere and private beaches with paid mats. Finding a free space to leave your things and bathe is almost impossible. It's a nice island, but too touristy.
If you’re looking for a wild island tour to see nature and marine life, this may not be ideal. But if you want to have a good day, see beautiful places and be in great hands, you will surely enjoy it!

Good excursion, bad after service - Good excursion, beautiful islands, good guides. The problem is that I made a request to them, which they ignored, I insisted, but I got no answer. Good service during, but bad service after.
