Isla Mujeres, Cancun finally OPENS FOR TOURISM in 2020 !! This is our first time visiting Isla Mujeres, Cancun as the island opens for tourism in 2020 during COVID-19 pandemic. We take a boat tour from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, swim with whale sharks and manta ray which is one of the best activities/things to do in Cancun.
What To Expect: Snorkeling/swimming with whale sharks in Cancun
1. The whale sharks season in Cancun is between June - September
2. The travel time to the marina takes about 2 hours from Punta Sam pier in Cancun (where the boats set sail from)
3. Sunscreen is not allowed unless you use the chemical-free and paraben-free sunscreen ( They suggest you apply sunscreen at least 2 hours before getting in the water - We really love the fact that they are so cautious about environment and nature here )
4. They require you to always wear a lifejacket for safety
5. This tour is like a surprising adventure- it is up to nature and unpredictable. We only expected to see the whale sharks, but then we encountered big turtles and manta ray by accident !:)
6. It's whale shark snorkeling tour, but you get extra is that once the swimming with whale shark part is over, they take you towards Isla Mujeres, which is a small (BUT BEAUTIFUL) island off the coast of Cancun. Even though we could not enter the island, but the boat anchored in a shallow area where the water was crystal clear and you can swim there
7. The crew also served us some fresh ceviche with tortilla chips (It's included in the tour)

Hi, We are Jimmy and Tah,
American and Thai Millennials left the career in military and finance to become full-time travelers, documenting our memories along the way. Met in August 2015 in South Korea, kicked off traveling in September 2017 with $4000 in a savings account and first started publishing our journey on the way we live the life we have always dreamt of - traveling and being able to work wherever we love ( as long as there is Wi-Fi and coffee)

@sheilaalmasi33074 years agoLove this video, been so many times to Isla Mujeres but never gone on that whale shark tour. Hopefully will see them soon :) 2
@
@mengberg10004 years agoYou were lucky to travel there during Covid. I went last summer. When I got to the Whale Sharks, there were about 50 boats there and I had 10 people on my boat so time with the Sharks was really limited. I would hope that you got to spend much more time with them since there were so few people on your boat. I also stayed on Isla Mujeres for a week and it was wonderful! ...
