Why this trip

Golf carts instead of cars and a beach where the water stays knee-deep: Isla Mujeres off Cancún is a small island where families manage without long distances. From November to April it is warm and mostly dry. Playa Norte is regarded as a children's beach because of its white sand and shallow, calm water, where little ones can splash for a long time. In the south lies Punta Sur, a headland with a view of the open sea, which can be reached by golf cart.

The Green Demons Beach Club offers loungers, shade and food for a relaxed day. If you want something to do, Island Adventures Mexico offers trips on the water, and Dolphin Discovery is a destination for families with animal-loving children, where you should pay attention to animal welfare and age requirements. The Mia Reef Isla Mujeres and the Excellence Playa Mujeres are places to stay in the region. Cancún, Holbox and Playa del Carmen are close, each destination with its own crossing.

The journey of about 12 to 14 hours with a change is long, so an arrival day without appointments does you good. You clarify questions on travel time and accommodation in the video call with Swiss Vibes.
