Contoy Island is located north of Isla Mujeres, 23 nautical miles north of Cancun and one hour and fifteen minutes by boat. It can be reached by a brief and pleasant journey on the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Near the southern tip of the island, a part of the great Maya reef, the second longest reef in the world, is home to a large variety of marine life.

Contoy is also known as the “Birds' Island” because it is home and natural refuge for many marine birds. The boat tour to Contoy natural bird reserve is very interesting. You will see countless animal species, 90 different types of birds, such as pelicans, cormorants, red flamingos and other exotic species. It is also possible to snorkel on a quiet reef and admire the open Caribbean Sea.
