Why this trip
An island that you can circle in one day by golf cart is a good base for movement in the water. Isla Mujeres lies off Cancún in the Caribbean, and the activity here takes place below and on the surface. At the southern tip, at Punta Sur, the cliffs end in the sea, and the coastal path there is a short but worthwhile route on foot or by bicycle. Snorkelling is at the core of the programme, and in summer whale sharks come into the waters off the island.
If you are interested in nature on and under the water, book excursions with small boats rather than large theme parks. Xel-Há on the mainland is also among the destinations for a day of swimming and snorkelling in lagoons. The best time for the trip is between November and April. For Mexico, visa-free entry applies for up to 180 days, the journey takes approx.
12 to 14 hours, usually with a change. If you want to go further, you will find in Holbox, Cozumel and Playa del Carmen neighbours with their own character. You set the sequence and level of challenge beforehand in the video call.
