Private Fishing Tour in the Bay of Isla women
Best for: Travelers who want a private fishing activity with local guidance
This experience is built around private fishing in the bay rather than sightseeing or transportation. The itinerary notes describe about four hours on the water with trolling and the possibility of catching barracuda, sawfish, and other species. The product states that experienced guides help with fishing locations and techniques, and the description emphasizes local family knowledge tied to Isla Mujeres fishing traditions. Confirmed inclusions are bottled water and soda or pop. The listed exclusion also notes dock taxes, so travelers should check that separately before booking if they want to know the full out-of-pocket cost.

Choose this if you want private transport more than a sightseeing program.
VIP Round Trip Private Transportation to Isla Mujeres
Best for: Travelers who want a private, point-to-point transfer between Cancun-area locations and Isla Mujeres
This option is designed as private transportation rather than a tour of attractions. The description says it begins with pickup from the airport or a hotel in Cancun or the Riviera Maya, continues by private shuttle to the marina, then uses a private boat ride to Isla Mujeres. On arrival, a dedicated taxi takes you to your accommodation on the island, and return transport is also described as part of the service. Confirmed inclusions list the private boat ride, drinks on the boat, taxi ride on the island, and round trip private shuttle. The excluded items list golf carts and drinks on the van, so those are not part of the confirmed service.
VIP Round Trip Private Transportation to Isla Mujeres
- Combines several transport legs in one private service
- Includes a boat ride and island taxi service
- Round trip shuttle is listed as included
Pick this when you want a private guided walk through the island's sights.
The Best of Isla Mujeres Private Walking Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a guided private walk through Isla Mujeres sights
This is a private walking tour that focuses on Isla Mujeres downtown and nearby sights. The description names several places included on the route, such as Playa Norte, Playa Caleta, Isla Mujeres Old Town, and Parador Fotográfico, and the itinerary notes add other stops with specific details, including a chapel, the Rainbow stairs, a jewelry store, and Mundaca’s hacienda. Guide service is included, while transportation is excluded, so it suits travelers who are comfortable exploring on foot. Because it is private, it may work well for people who want a more personal pace while still seeing a mix of local and iconic places in one outing.
