A must do! - My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Cancun and were looking for something special to do as an excursion. The Isla Contoy Eco Tour was a perfect choice. It was a blend of learning something new and good old fashioned Mexican music and dancing. Roland, our main English speaking tour guide, was a gem 💎. His English was excellent, his knowledge was deep and his ability to entertain was rare. We highly recommend this tour, it’s a must!!!

Awesome Day - Great day! We enjoyed our full day of Snorkeling, Isla Mujeres and Isla Contoy. Boat was great. Not over crowded at all. Crew was fabulous. While a long day from pick up to drop off, it was well worth it (we were in Playa Del Carmen).
