This was one of the sleeper hits of my recent Cancun Trip (10/20)!!! From the beginning, Go Isla Tours were very communicative, giving me detailed directions on how to get to Isla Mujares via ferry from my resort in Cancun. As the Actual tour date approached it became evident that it would be affected by inclement weather, Tiffany contacted me and we were able to work out an alternate time...it was a very simple and painless process thanks to her!
Once I arrived to Isla Mujares, I was greeted by Gonzalo (I was given plenty of pictures before hand in order to recognize him) and we were off! Gonzalo was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable of not only the murals we saw (there were many) but also the local history and architecture throughout the island. We went to Punta Sur and waked around the archeological site. Along the ride we interacted with several local vendors for fresh coconut water/etc. We also visited the Sea Turtle Hatchery on island, as well as the animal shelter (which actually became my favorite part).
We toured the island end-to-end while Gonzalo offered many tips and tricks in case I wanted to spend extra time on island after the tour. Near Playa Norte, we took a reverent tour through the old cemetery and its many shrines. Finally, Gonzalo took me to a place on the beachfront where I could explore on my own with clear instructions on how to return to the ferry dock to return home...and a tip on an amazing place to eat a lobster dinner!
This was truly a highlight of my trip and I can't wait for my next visit! I hear Gonzalo Hosts an excellent Bar Crawl!!! read more
