Isla Mujeres is visited by catamaran in two different ways with Tours Isla Mujeres: with the Family option, open to all ages, or with the Adults Only option, reserved for ages 18 and over. Both share the same boat, the same itinerary, and the same duration of about 10 hours; what changes is the atmosphere on board and the audience each option is intended for.
Making the right choice mainly depends on the composition of the group and the experience sought: a quiet family day between snorkeling and beach, or a more festive outing among adults. This article details what each option includes, what remains the same between the two, and how to know which best suits your stay.
What to keep in mind before choosing:
- Two options at Tours Isla Mujeres: Family (all ages) and Adults Only (18 years and older).
- Same boat (maximum 40 people), same itinerary, and same duration of about 10 hours for both options.
- Supervised snorkeling, open bar, and buffet in a private beach club included in both cases.
- Price: 1,400 MXN per adult, 1,100 MXN for a child aged 3 to 9 in the Family option, plus a marine park fee of about 20 USD per person paid on-site.
- Direct booking via WhatsApp, with advice on the option best suited to your group.
Family Option: for whom, and what does it include?
The Family option is open to all ages, without restrictions. It is the option chosen by most families and mixed groups who want to enjoy Isla Mujeres in a friendly atmosphere, without music or special entertainment on board. It includes pick-up, supervised snorkeling with equipment provided, open bar, buffet in a private beach club, and free time at Playa Norte at the end of the day.
The price is 1,400 MXN per adult and 1,100 MXN for a child aged 3 to 9; the excursion is free for children aged 0 to 2. It is the recommended option for a first visit to Isla Mujeres with family or for a group with varied ages.
Adults Only Option: for whom, and what does it include?
The Adults Only option follows exactly the same schedule (snorkeling, open bar, buffet, free time at Playa Norte) but is reserved for people aged 18 and over, with a more festive atmosphere on board, supported by music and a livelier ambiance. It is the option chosen by couples and groups of friends seeking a more relaxed day without young children on board.
The price is the same as the Family option, i.e. 1,400 MXN per adult, plus a marine park fee of about 20 USD per person paid on-site.
What is the same between the two options
Beyond the atmosphere, both options share the essentials: the same catamaran limited to 40 people, the same departure point at Cancún port, the same duration of about 10 hours, the same snorkeling stop with equipment provided, the same open bar, and the same buffet served in a private beach club facing the sea.
| Criteria | Family Option | Adults Only Option |
|---|---|---|
| Age | Open to all ages | Reserved for 18 years and older |
| Atmosphere | Friendly, all audiences | Festive, music and entertainment |
| Duration | About 10 hours | About 10 hours |
| Boat capacity | Maximum 40 people | Maximum 40 people |
| Snorkeling, open bar, buffet | Included | Included |
| Adult price | 1,400 MXN | 1,400 MXN |
| Child price (3-9 years) | 1,100 MXN | Not applicable |
How to know which best suits your stay?
If your group includes children or people of very different ages, the Family option remains the most suitable choice: it maintains the same quality of services without imposing a festive atmosphere that would not suit everyone. Conversely, if you are traveling with friends or as a couple without children and looking for a livelier day, the Adults Only option better corresponds to the experience sought.
In case of doubt, the Tours Isla Mujeres team can advise the best-suited option directly via WhatsApp, depending on the group composition and the dates of your stay.
