.......you'll need to take a ferry to Isla from Cancun. The are two ferry docks - Puerto Juárez (right in the hotel zone) & Gran Puerto Cancun (Gran Puerto is the newer one about 15 minutes north of downtown Cancun). Boats leave every half hour and the crossing takes about 15 minutes.
Once you get off the ferry (for a day trip) you'll want to rent a golf cart. There are many places to rent from. Gomar is one I've used in the past.
Then spend the day driving around the island, stopping where you feel like it, but be sure to hit Punta Sur, Playa Lancheros for lunch (the mayan style whole grilled fish, tixnchix, is amazing), and Garaffon for snorkeling. Then head back into town and hit Playa Norte for the rest of the day.
Lunch at Playa Lancheros:
njoy and happy travels! |
Isla de Mujeres is great. We'll be back this december. Playa Lancheros is great, but there are other great lunch places
