A fab day out! Sufficient time in Isla de Mujeres, snorkelling on the reef in vast empty space as there were no other boats, Contoy is simply Caribbean beauty. Great hosting throughout.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Contoy is indeed a Caribbean beauty, due to it's preservation laws, most of the area is free of people and boats This is the perfect place to enjoy the nature without any worries! We are glad that we got the chance to share this adventure with you We hope to see you soon! There's still plenty more to explore
