## FAQ

**Should I choose an Isla Mujeres island trip or a Riviera Maya reef cruise?**

Choose Beach Escape if visiting Contoy and Isla Mujeres is the point of your day; choose Riviera Maya Catamaran and Beach Club if you want reef snorkelling and Maroma Beach instead. For example, Beach Escape: Contoy and Isla Mujeres is €163 per person, rated 4.82 from 826 reviews; its marine conservation fee is extra. Riviera Maya Catamaran and Beach Club is €77 per person, rated 4.83 from 558 reviews; its marina fee is payable in cash on arrival.

**How much do shared and private Isla Mujeres cruises cost, and is private priced per boat?**

For a couple or family, budget Private Escape's fare for each person. It includes a private boat and transfers, but the fare is not a boat total to split. Shared tours: 8, median €81 per person. Private tours: 1, median €763 per person. This is a spread between different products, not a premium for the same cruise. For example, Private Escape: Contoy and Isla Mujeres is €763 per person, rated 4.87 from 143 reviews. A minimum party size applies.

**Can I fit a catamaran cruise into a short outing, or do I need the whole day?**

Make it an evening outing with Riviera Maya Sunset Sailing; use the duration filter when you cannot give a cruise the whole day. 3 of the 9 tours that state a duration take up to three hours; 5 run longer than five hours. The page median is 5.5 hours. For example, Riviera Maya Sunset Sailing is €81 per person, rated 4.53 from 455 reviews. This sunset sail has a minimum age; its listed duration does not establish hotel pickup and return times.

**Can children join the Isla Mujeres cruises and take part in snorkelling?**

For children, separate boarding from reef access on Isla Mujeres Sailing: Family Friendly. Its reef age threshold is higher, so a child allowed aboard may still be ineligible to snorkel. The kids filter checks "strollers and infants accepted": 2 of 9 tours match. That is separate from a family label. For example, Isla Mujeres Sailing: Family Friendly is €50 per person, rated 4.63 from 3,632 reviews. Its family option has separate boarding and reef age limits; hotel transport and the dock fee are extra.

**Can I take one of these cruises if I use a wheelchair?**

Operator-marked accessible tours: 1 of 9. Filter first, then confirm access with the operator; a private boat does not establish wheelchair suitability. Among private tours, none are operator-marked accessible. For example, Private Escape: Contoy and Isla Mujeres is €763 per person, rated 4.87 from 143 reviews. Its private boat and transfers do not establish step-free boarding, an accessible toilet or suitability for your wheelchair. Find operator-marked access: https://guidekin.com/mexico/playa-del-carmen/catamaran-isla-mujeres-tours/?wheelchair=true

**Is hotel transport included in these cruises, and which fees are extra?**

Treat pickup as available, not automatically included: Riviera Maya Catamaran and Beach Club includes selected hotel transport; Isla Mujeres Sailing: Family Friendly charges extra for it. 9 of 9 tours list pickup. For example, Riviera Maya Catamaran and Beach Club is €77 per person, rated 4.83 from 558 reviews; its marina fee is payable in cash. Isla Mujeres Sailing: Family Friendly is €50 per person, rated 4.63 from 3,632 reviews; hotel transport and the dock fee are extra.
