Things to do in

Puerto Juárez

Enjoy a light breakfast before you prepare yourself for the boat safari. On your way to the whale shark protected area, look out for dolphins, sea turtles and enormous manta rays. Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world, and you can easily spot them this time of year because they are hungry. Their primary meal, plankton, can be found near the surface. After an hour or two you will be rewarded with the first views of the whale sharks. Observe them from the boat and jump off the boat to swim up close, if you dare. With your fins and mask, you can snorkel alongside a whale shark. Do you feel the adrenaline?  After the whale shark activity, get your gear and snorkel at the coral reef to see some tropical fish and corals. Enjoy a delicious Caribbean style lunch while lounging in the water at one of the most beautiful beaches of the world.

After pickup from your hotel lobby, head to the marine in Puerto Juarez and savor a small breakfast to prepare you for your trip. Depart from the private marina at about 9:00 AM by speedboat. Before arriving at Contoy, make a stop to snorkel in the reef Parque Nacional Isla Contoy. Admire the natural beauty of the island and go for a walk, visiting the museum to observe the typical flora and fauna, then move on to the viewpoint to take some pictures of the island and its beaches, visit the lagoon, and appreciate different bird species. After the eco-tour, lunch will be served at the beach. Then, take some time to relax at the beach, where you can swim and sunbathe at your own leisure. After visiting the island, visit Isla Mujeres and spend some free time in the scenic downtown of the island, before heading back to your hotel at about 4:30 PM.

After an early-morning pickup at your hotel in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos, or Puerto Juarez, head to the starting point of your bike trip. Hop aboard and begin your leisurely 25-minute biking tour alongside the lagoon, taking in the beautiful natural views. After getting off your bike, unwind on the white sand beaches of Isla Blanca before moving to the pier to begin the boat tour. The 1-hour boat tour takes you around the wonderful lagoon, allowing you to take in sprawling views of crystal clear, bright blue water. Return to the pier and transfer to a local restaurant for a tasty lunch. A wonderful start to your day in Mexico, relax on the ride back to your hotel.
