Isla Contoy




We did a day trip to "Isla Contoy National Park" from Isla Mujeres... took us about 1 hour by boat and we took turns getting completed drenched on these rides! The island is a bird santuary for thousands of migrant birds (many from Canada). It was truly a paradise - only a certain number of people allowed on the island each day and only about 5 people actually live there. We saw loads of birds, iguanas, hermit crabs as well as marine life while snorkeling like manta rays and barracudas (which we also ate for lunch!).
