We participated in the Isla Contoy trip on 13 March 2008, as listed (above).
It was the best trip we took while we were in Cancun. The snorkeling was fantastic; my husband
says he has never seen a better reef, and he has snorkeled and done scuba diving in many locations.
The snorkeling was organized in a safe and sane manner, as well. The experience on the island
was also great. Of the four tours we took in Cancun, this is the only one I would like to
repeat if/when we return to Cancun. Betty Juergensmeyer
