So, hopping on the R1 bus from Playa Delfines away from the hotel district, takes you to Porto Juarez where you can catch the ferry to Isla Mujeres. The cost is $140 pesos (a little over $10 usd) round trip. It takes about 20 minutes and there’s a ferry leaving about every half hour.
Most people when visiting this tiny island, hire motorbikes or golf carts. I hired a motorbike for $250 pesos for half a day, basically. The rental place is directly across from the port exit, so you can’t miss it.

Went backpacking through the Yucatan a few years back. I was wanting to make my way there, but never got the chance to. Maybe next time, good pictures!

Thanks, Pablo! To be honest, I wouldn’t come back just to do that because it really is so small. The cool thing for me was definitely Punta Sur. I love the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, drowning out all the human voices around me. 🙂 I imagine backpacking the Yucatan was phenomenal. Mexican people are so friendly. I’m leaving for Playa Del Carmen in a colectivo tomorrow morning…

That’s awesome, I loved Playa Del Carmen. Are you taking a ferry to Cozumel? Good place to go snorkeling and the water looks like blue food coloring, it’s incredible!

Glad to hear that about Playa Del Carmen. Yes, for sure snorkelling, and maybe even some diving if I feel like shelling out the cash. 😉
