All Isla Mujeres Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

This was an amazing experience. Felipe and Lolo, did a great job to get us the most value of the outing. It was a truly unforgettable experience to share the water with such large and beautiful creatures. A couple of points: -Transportation to and from our hotel in playa mujeres was provided. -a brief restroom break was offered prior to the boat’s departure - The trip takes an 1-1.5 hour boat ride north past Isla mujeres against the current. Out in open ocean where you can’t see land and certainly can’t see the bottom. Can be a bit choppy weather depending. I would recommend taking medication for seasickness if you’re prone to it. -you can wear biodegradable sunscreen but you can only apply it at the dock or at the beginning of the boat ride, not near the snorkel sight -life jackets are required the whole time, snorkel and flippers are provided -once at the snorkel site only 2 people plus the guide are in the water at a time, -the captain positions the boat for the best possible experience -you are told when to jump in -the faster/better you can swim, the greater time you have with the whale shark. My wife and I are not that great at swimming in ocean so in total we were only able to get about 5 minutes in the water with the whale sharks. Others were in longer because they could keep up with them better. -to maximize everyone’s time in the water if the whale shark gets too far from you the guide will call you back to the boat so that it can get into position for the next swimmers. -our guide had a GoPro camera and took pictures and videos. You can pay for them at the end of the tour. Ours asked for email addresses, which helped to not feel hounded to buy the pictures and videos. - the snorkel site has lots of boats doing the same thing, the water is choppy and the boat is at idle speed. Multiple people got seasick. -each person was given a chance for 2 jumps. The jumps can not be transferred to someone else to jump 2+. -the boat ride back is smoother than the way out -for the provided lunch we stopped at the north end of Isla mujeres in a popular shallow spot - the tourist swim while the guide and captain clean the boat and make the lunch, we had ceviche. -then back to the docs.

Absolutely incredible time! Very kid friendly, a wonderful time! We saw SO MANY whale sharks. Even saw dolphins, a sea turtle and manta ray! Snorkeling and swimming off of isla Mujeres was a bonus, plus the wonderful lunch. My son (9) felt right at home!

We had an incredible experience with Daniel and his crew! Having a private tour made all the difference—it gave us the flexibility to create our own itinerary, explore at our own pace, and spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. The drinks were fantastic, with plenty of options, and the bartender makes an amazing Paloma! We can’t recommend this experience highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
