        Strenuous snorkeling experience
        Very friendly, knowledgeable crew, but the activity required some effort. Unlike snorkeling on your own near the boat as I've done in the past, this excursion had us swim quite a distance before seeing schools of fish. Rough water & strong currents made it difficult to keep up. They very kindly pulled me the rest of the way, and even took me back to the pier before moving on, which I appreciated very much.

        Fun, relaxing trip with an awesome sunset!
        We had an amazing time on our private sunset trip! It was the final day of our stay on Isla, so we wanted to take it easy & just cruise around the island...and that's exactly what the crew did! They served us water, beer, & appetizers, and we provided the soundtrack. Stopped at the Soggy Peso for drinks, and headed to the north beach for a gorgeous sunset. We all agreed it was one of the highlights of our vacation!

        Wonderful sunset cruise
        We had an amazing afternoon with Isla Fun Tours. We did their private sunset cruise. It was a full 4 hours cruising, snorkeling and having a fun time. Our guide was very attentive and had a lot of knowledge about Isla and the surrounding areas. Our captain did an excellent job navigating the waters. The day ended with a phenomenal sunset. I highly recommend Isla Fun Tours.

        Wonderful Experience!
        Oscar was our guide and Carlos was our captain. They were both excellent in providing a relaxing, safe experience. We started snorkeling on a reef about 7’ deep seeing lots of fish. Then we cruised the coastline to Southpoint while enjoying a leisurely pace and commentary from Oscar. He surveyed our interest in seeing the underwater museum or another deeper reef. We agreed on the reef where we saw many more schools of fish. Then we cruised the coastline to north beach enjoying the scenery of shore from the boat. Lunch was in a restaurant with a fresh caught fish with rice and veggies with noodles. Everyone loved the experience and recommend it.

        If you have last second changes to your itinerary, book through another company.
        Strongly suggest using other transportation companies when traveling from Cancun airport to and from Isla Mujures. There are other companies are who flexible and willing to accommodate last minute changes. Customer service was not responsive in a timely manner. Additionally, the process being picked up from the airport was NOT on time. It was ~1 hour late. When there are copious taxi’s and other transportation that are available immediately, for a more affordable rate. The issue I had, was I needed to changed my transportation by 30 minutes on the day of being picked up. This is not an unreasonable request, but instead they informed they were not willing to be accommodating and charged me round trip, despite only using the first portion. Moral of the story: use another company if you want more something more flexible, cheaper, and prompt responses.

        The private shuttle and catamaran tour rocked!
        We booked private shuttle from the airport to our resort dock on Isla and return. We added a private 4 hour catamaran tour a week into our vacation. Although I messed up the details, twice, Lalo Torres graciously handled the issues and made it all happen like a well oiled machine. The crews on all three trips were so much fun. This company handles the details and makes the experience fun, stress free, and memorable.

        Excellent experience
        We used Isla Fun Tours to get us from the airport to our resort on Isla Mujeres. They had a gentleman at the airport with our names on a sign (that alone made us feel special) he then helped lead us into a van that took us to the marina where we boarded a private boat that took us across to Isla and dropped us off at yhd dock of our resort. Two weeks later, there was a reverse trip. Made the whole getting there and back thing a breeze. In between those trips, we used them to take a private catamaran tour around the island. Jesus and Oscar were wonderful and gave us one of our best days on Isla going where we wanted to at the speed we wanted. It was four hours of pure relaxation and wonder. Enjoying the beauty of Isla Mujeres.

        We had a wonderful experience! The crew was wonderful and the food was great. Our boat was pretty basic but nice. We will definitely do it again.

        We loved our experience. The crew was great and the ceviche was awesome, our fish tacos were overdone :( But overall we had a great experience and would definitely do it again!

        The trip to the area is long and the waters were rough the day we went. but putting that aside, it was amazing!
        This is a late review. We went in July of 2023. I had just finished my radiation from breast cancer and this was the first thing on my bucket list. I cried like a baby from the beauty of these amazing creatures. I didn't have the upper body strength to swim hard but one of the guides pulled me along with him and I will forever be thankful for that.

        Private transfer
        Have been to Isla Mujeres multiple times in the past and have always taken the ferry. We decided to try the private transfer with Isla Fun Tours this time & everything was perfect! A driver was waiting for us at the airport with a sign, and we went straight to the private boat. The ride to Isla Mujeres was a little choppy due to the weather but the captain did a fantastic job! Once on Isla, cabs were waiting to take us to our hotel. The journey back to the airport was just as perfect! Highly recommend, will be using Isla Fun Tours for every return trip to the island!

        Nice half day adventure
        Felipe, our guide, was skilled and very friendly. Lalo did an excellent job driving the boat. None of us had any experience snorkeling and we felt comfortable. Snorkeling gear was adequate but someone was worn.

        Leo and the captain were amazing! Very nice and helpful. Explained a lot and made the people that weren't strong swimmers feel included and welcomed. They got to be a part of the experience! Thanks for everything

      Couldn't have been a more perfect experience. They were able to accommodate 9 of us on a private fishing trip and still keep it affordable. We quickly caught 1 large fish each and there was time to catch a second for most. They took the time to make fresh ceviche with our catch. BONUS... that we didn't even know about was the side trip to a beautiful reef to snorkel and go for a swim. Thank you, 😊

      This was one of our top two experiences during our week in Isla Mujeres with a family of 3, ages 40, 20, and 14. We had limited fishing experience before - just lakes and rivers in U.S. but we felt completely at home and safe along the way. We caught about 5 Barracuda and ate two of them fresh on the spot at Reataurant Miramar.

      This excursion was the highlight of our trip!! Jorge and Martinez were so much fun and knowledgeable about where they took us to fish, what we caught, what bait to use and so much more. The boat was a 28 ft fishing boat, in great shape.
      Well equipped and they ran five lines. We caught barracuda, yellow snapper, moon snapper and a toad fish.
      It was easy to book. Pickup was easy. They provided plenty of bottled water, beer and sodas. The website said sandwiches would be provided, but they were not. Not a big deal to us but you may want to take snacks.
      After we were back on the dock, Jorge and Martinez cleaned all of our fish. They recommended the restaurant Miramar to take our fish and have them cook it for us. Miramar is located right at the marina. We took enough for us and gave the rest of the fish to Jorge and Martinez for their use.
      Miramar made the BEST barracuda ceviche and we had grilled snapper as well.

      Daniel, Orlando and Chuy were great hosts and guides for our fishing trip. My wife and I had a great time, caught some fish and enjoyed our time on the boat. We highly recommend this company as they delivered exactly what we were expecting. We feel they went out of their way to put us on some fish by not just along the reef. Very reasonably priced. Thanks guys!

      Our group - three adults, two teenagers and two young kids - had a great time with Isla Fun Tours. They picked us up at our private dock and took us out for a really fun day of fishing. We had a slow start, but they took us to the reef a bit further out and we caught lots of barracuda, a needle fish and even a sucker fish. Highly recommended!

      This private inland fishing experience lived up to our expectations and more! Oscar and Manny treated us like family. Between the six of us, we all caught barracuda. My husband and I had a double where we both brought in fish at the same time! Oscar called us and asked if we wanted to reschedule for a calmer day in the water since our original day looked like it would be really windy. The extra care was so appreciated! Amazing day!

      Beat all expectations! Isla Fun Tours and our guide Marcelo could not have given us a better experience! Marcelo knew we were going to be feeding a group of people that evening and he made sure we went back with plenty. He worked really hard to get us on the fish and keep us on fish. We had so much fun and couldn't have been more satisfied. We had so many that we left some for Marcelo and other people. Would highly recommend them! Can't wait to do it again! Big thanks for making it a great day!

      I went on the inshore fishing trip with my nephew (13) and brother-in-law. Dany and Chuy did a great job with driving the boat and with manning the rods. They were also very easy going and kept a good conversation with us. You can tell they enjoy the work. The boat was a comfortable Glacier Bay with plenty of seating. It was a smooth ride on a beautiful weather day. The water was so clear and blue, we could still see the ocean floor at 25 feet deep. They provided beer, water, and sandwiches. Was great to get some beers in between bites! My nephew and I each caught our first barracuda. Definitely recommend and will go again next time to Isla Mujeres.
