From Cancun the catamaran slips across turquoise Caribbean water toward Isla Mujeres, a compact island where coral reef, dense tropical jungle and traces of Maya culture meet. Over roughly seven hours you’ll sample reef snorkeling, a beach‑club afternoon with a buffet and open domestic bar, and a stroll through the island’s town with bilingual guides shaping the day.
