3 Islands Snorkel and Bird Watching Cruise

Enjoy a full day of snorkeling, swimming and bird watching on this private boat cruise for up to 6 guests to Mexico's three most famous Caribbean islands. The waters near the famous islands of Isla Contoy, Isla Blanca, and Isla Mujeres are turquoise and transparent, optimal to snorkel and swim. Near Isla Contoy the waters are very rich in nutrients and serve as food for the plankton that constitutes the food base of more than 234 species of fish identified in the area, including the majestic whale sharks and stingrays that feed near their coasts and the turtles that nest there.

The Ixlaché reef south of Contoy marks the beginning of the second-longest reef barrier in the world, the Great Mesoamerican Reef. Beautiful species of corals, fish, and organisms of great commercial value such as spiny lobster and pink snail abound. Swim with rays and turtles, nurse sharks, and a huge amount of fish. Relax and swim at the North Beach of Isla Mujeres and stop at the white sand beaches of Isla Blanca to relax and bird watch. See frigate birds with a wingspan up to 8ft as they glide for hours on end, usually in circles. This private boat tour is 5-7 hours total.
