Isla Mujeres, Mexico Review | The Best Excursion

Travel + Leisure has recognized Isla Mujeres as one of the top 5 islands in Mexico and Central and South America. I couldn't agree more! Isla Mujeres is an island off the coast of Mexico near Cancun. We booked this excursion with the Amstar representative in the lobby of our resort while staying at the RIU Dunamar, Costa Mujeres. The dock to board the ferry to this beautiful island is approximately 8 miles from Downtown Cancun and about an hour’s drive from Playa Del Carmen. While there, take your time to explore Isla Mujeres and all the entire island has to offer. In addition to taking a ferry, you can get to Isla Mujeres by catamaran.
A van picked us up at the resort lobby and took us to Cancun to catch the ferry to Isla Mujeres. The ferry was full, but it was a comfortable ride to the island. There is an upper and lower deck for seating, and they played lively music and served a couple of drinks on the boat. Looking at the Isla Mujeres as you reach the waters surrounding the island, you will be amazed by the beauty of the island and the crystal clear but rough blue water.
From the pier, everyone disembarks and makes their way to their favorite part of the island.
Isla Mujeres visitors enjoy the white sand beach, ziplining, scuba diving, the underwater museum, exploring the island in a golf cart, seeing marine life, including dolphins, endangered sea turtles and whale sharks, shopping, visiting local restaurants, and more.
Punta Sur, located at the southern end of the island, is the most eastern point in the country of Mexico. This is the island’s highest point, reaching 20 meters, and where the sun rises first. As we hiked above the cliffs, we looked down at large glistening rocks that the seawater crashed against, creating an awe-inspiring image. Isla Mujeres is only 5 miles long and a half-mile wide, but it is absolutely stunning. To read more about the Isla Mujeres, visit my blog, No Shoes Just Travel.
