The Experience

Before You Go

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Use only reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral; apply at least 15 minutes before entering the water.

Hydrate and pack snacks

Even with lunch provided, bring an insulated bottle and light snacks—salt, sun and activity dehydrate fast.

Prepare for motion

If you get seasick, take medication a few hours before departure—the captain chooses stops but open water can roll.

Follow reef rules

Listen to the crew about not anchoring on reef and about safe snorkeling practices to avoid damaging coral.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Punta Sur viewpoint on Isla Mujeres for coastal cliffs and sculptures
  • A calm reef pocket east of the island favored for beginner snorkeling away from crowds

Wildlife

  • Green sea turtle
  • Parrotfish and colorful reef fish

Conservation Note

Operators include an Environmental Management Charge tied to reef protection; avoid sunscreen with oxybenzone and follow crew guidance to minimize anchor and contact damage to coral.

Isla Mujeres was a pre-Columbian sacred site for the Mayan moon goddess Ixchel; the modern route between Cancun and the island grew as tourism developed in the 1970s.
