Excellent Option for Visiting Isla Mujeres - Multiple companies provide ferry service to the island, they're all fast, modern & reliable, they all dock at the same terminal on Isla Mujeres, and ticket prices are similar. But buying a Xcaret ferry ticket comes with a nice bonus: A free trip to the top of Xcaret's Torre Escénica (observation tower overlooking the area). Do the tower first, because it closes early (so it's likely to be closed before you return from Isla Mujeres). We found free on-street parking nearby, but when street parking isn't available there's a huge & inexpensive parking ramp right next to the ferry dock -- on Google maps look for "Estacionamiento del ferry El Embarcadero". Our choice of the Xcaret Xailing ferry turned out to be a winner.

Fun for everyone - Leave early so you can get the best out of the day. Shop, eat and lay on the beach or rent a cart and explore the island

Comfy - worth the extra cost to have AC and a nice seat, facilities, short lines, etc. The cheap local ferry is very busy with very long lines/wait times, so I prefer this.

Quick and fast ferry - Very easy to find in Cancun along the strip. I had no waiting. I printed my tickets ahead of time. We arrived and got the first ferry to Isla and on the way back to Cancun, we took the 5 o’clock ferry out, and there was never any wait.

Great experience, professional and easy. - After booking on Viator, you have to still visit the ticket window to get your actual tickets. If you book a round-trip ticket, you use the same ticket to get on the ferry when you return, don’t lose it. There are two lines for departure. One for the sailing excursion and one for the ferry. Just ask a staff member, they were very helpful. Boarding is super simple, I recommend sitting outside, it’s beautiful.

Warning scammed by Viator DO NOT USE!!! - I booked a full package deal with Viator including someone pick me up in Play Del Carmen and then drop me off at the ferry terminal that I had prepaid for, the driver dropped me off the wrong terminal so I could not use my ticket and had to purchase another ticket. I filed a complaint immediately with Viator about what i happened, They would not issue a refund so I asked to come and use the ticket the following year when I come back to Playa Del Carmen cause I do not live here so they agreed to that and now I’m here and they will not honour my ticket Do not use this company they do not honour their word and they are scammers. Warning!!!!!
