Getting to Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres is an island in the Caribbean Sea located about 8 miles northeast of Cancun.
To get to Isla Mujeres you will need to fly into Cancun International Airport. From there you will take a shuttle to Puerto Juarez ferry dock. The shuttle may take around 30 minutes depending on traffic.
At Puerto Juarez you will board a ferry to Isla Mujeres. The ferry runs every 30 minutes from Puerto Juarez to Isla Mujeres.
Once you arrive in Isla Mujeres you can either walk to your hotel (if you’re staying on the north end) or take a cab or rickshaw. There are usually lots of options once you depart the ferry. A cab in Isla should cost around $5-$10 US depending on the location of your hotel.
Cancun International Airport
The closest airport to Isla Mujeres is Cancun International Airport (CUN). Delta and Spirit offer nonstop flights from Detroit (DTW).
Couple tips:
1. Do not book a flight that lands to the Cancun Airport after 8:15pm (the last ferry to the island is at 11:00pm)
2. Try not to book a flight that departs from the Cancun airport before 9:30am. The first ferry to leave from the island in the morning is at 6:00am, with a 6:30am shuttle pick up from Puerto Juarez - putting you at the airport around 7:30am.
Please make sure to contact one of the shuttle services listed below for a reservation from the airport to the ferry (airport taxis can be expensive).
