How to get to Isla Mujeres
You’ve landed at the Cancun airport and now you need to get to Isla Mujeres.
Bus🚎
We’ll start with cheapest, if you are a solo traveler or a couple, taking the ADO bus from the airport to the downtown Cancun bus station and then getting a taxi to the ferry. The bus from the airport departs approximately every 30 minutes beginning at around 8am until 11pm, the cost is 170 pesos, about $9.00 us. Once at the Cancun bus station we take a taxi or Uber for about 100 pesos, about $5.00us. This is the cheapest way to get to the ferry, but not usually the quickest. You can check the ADO bus website for times and if there are price changes.
Private transfer🚐
Private transfer is our recommended way to get the ferry. The cost is higher, but it is the most comfortable and fastest way to the ferry, and who doesn’t want to get to Isla fast and start that vacation! There are many companies who offer this service, you can purchase ferry tickets, drinks, snacks, car seats for the kids and other essentials when you reserve.
