Day trip to Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres is a small island located only 20 minutes boat ride from Cancun. There are several ports departing to Isla Mujeres but Puerto Juárez nearby city center is the most frequent. Isla Mujeres has also plenty of hotels so you can go there for day trip up to couple of days. Boats from Puerto Juárez departs from early morning till midnight. We booked boat at 9am and returning 9pm.

Most of the tourists rent Golf Buggy for a day to tour the island. Rental for 8hours is quite pricey ~ around 60€. We forgot our driving license in Cancun so they didn’t want to rent us the buggy. At the end there would a company which would do it but for extra money. The island is quite small and most of the interesting stops are in the south and north of island. The island is well connected with buses so we at the end decided to save some money and take the local bus to the southern part of island. Punta Sur is beautiful natural reserve with incredible cliffs and sculptures picturing Mayan culture.

After the walk around Punta Sur we left to nearby beach club Garrafon. The area was super nice offering plenty of fun activities such as zip line, kayak, SUP, Snorkeling and chill by the pool. The entrance package also includes unlimited drinks and food so we decided to pay the high price and enjoy the day. Unfortunately although the place was dreamy the food and drinks quality was poor and for lot of things such as ice cream and coffee you needed to pay extra. We were at the end quite disappointed although the whole area was amazing.

In the afternoon we left by bus back to the city and had a great coffee and fresh coconut. Isla Mujeres has not many beaches so most of the tourists go to amazing Playa Norte which is also famous for sunset 🌅. We finished our day with amazing swim snd cocktail in Tarzan Bar and were rewarded by incredible sunset.

For dinner Flo invited me nice local restaurant where I had the best ceviche of my life 🤩🤤. Around 9pm we took ferry back to Cancun to pack our bags as we are leaving tmr to the next destination 😎.Read more
