Parque Nacional Isla Contoy - 77520 Cancún

It's a lovely Real Caribbean island goo with BlueCaribe as they don't have any photographers bothering you to take pictures and then to pay for pictures as Ocean Tours company does.

Amazing quiet paradise ???

Absolutely beautiful and so many birds. It's very protected so there's not much you can do there.I recommend taking a camera with a telephoto lens if you want to photograph the birds, there were literally hundreds of frigate birds flying around midday of the time we were there. If you do a tour that involves snorkeling be aware that they cancel the snorkeling if it's rough which it's likely to be most of December

So happy we took an excursion here! It was the most beautiful beach I have seen. Crystal clear waters, soft silky sand and lots of beautiful wildlife both on shore and in the waters. There is a small museum with information about the island and its inhabitants. I could have spent my whole vacation here!

A great escape from the busy riviera Maya. Amazing wildlife (including tons of mosquitos) Definitely worth the tour

A true paradise! We did a private tour to Isla Contoy that started around 8:30 am. The boat ride to the island took around 35 minutes. Once you get to the island you must fill out a form to track your visits. Isla Contoy is a national park and a bird sanctuary so a limited number of people can visit. Before COVID, 200 people a day were allowed but now the number is 75 to 100. A few important things to note before you visit: - Sunblock is not allowed. Not even biodegradable sunscreen because it’s killing the coral and impacting the flora and fauna of the area. I recommend getting a long sleeve rash guard, bringing a hat and sunglasses - Leave no trace. Please don’t leave trash on the island and pick up everything when you leave - It’s also a plastic free zone The park has a small museum, bathrooms, and a bird watching tower but it was under maintenance. Several marine biologist live on the island and do tours to teach you about the island’s ecosystems. You can also visit the lagoon and see where some of the birds are nesting. The park closes at 3 pm. It was an absolutely magical experience but it’s pricey. Group tours are around $100 to $150 but if you want something private it’s more like $450 a person. The tours also include food, drinks, and snorkeling. For me it was absolutely worth it! I had a wonderful time in the island, away from the crowds, and surrounded by staggering beauty.

Beautiful remote beach. Coming here really gives the feeling of being away from the busy tourist beaches. Many beautiful birds nestling here.

Very important ecologically National Park. Visitors only have access to 3% of the island to prevent contamination. The walks take in three different eco systems, lagoon, dunes and mangroves. There is a beach where you are allowed to swim.
