Flights
Be sure to book your flight well in advance to ensure the best price! Where ever you will be flying from, you will fly into Cancun International Airport.
**Be sure to read about transportation from the airport to the ferry to reach the island. It is best to book all of this in advance to avoid any hiccups and ensure smooth travel.
Shuttle from Airport to Ferry Terminal
Best Day Travel - Mexico
Av. Bonampak 10, 7, 77503 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico
1-800-953-2961
Shuttles should be booked through Best Day AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE ARRIVAL for transportation from Cancun International Airport to the Ferry to Isla Mujeres! You may either book a private or shared shuttle.
Steps to book:
1. Go to website Best Day Travel
2. Select "Roundtrip Airport - Hotel - Airport"
3. For where will you be staying, enter "Isla Mujeres Palace, Isla Mujeres, Mexico" (Although Isla Mujeres Palace is not where anyone will be staying, this will get you to the ferry to reach the island)
4. Select the dates you will need travel (Day you arrive by plane and day you will be departing Mexico).
5. Select number of people who you will be traveling with.
6. Search
7. Choose either shared or private shuttle. You will want to select the option labeled "Airport Cancun - Puerto Juarez Dock Ultramar (Ferry Ticket not Included) by Best Day".
Note: we have never had to share a shuttle even when we have selected the shared shuttle option. If you are looking to save money, it may be worth it to do shared shuttle.

**VERY IMPORTANT: It is advised to have your shuttle reservation printed to present to the Best Day employees. This helps them to find you on their reservation list much quicker without a language barrier**
Ferry to Isla Mujeres
Ferry Tickets
We suggest buying your ferry tickets once you have reached the ferry after your shuttle ride, and buying a roundtrip ticket. Buying a roundtrip ferry ticket will ensure the cheapest price and will help to avoid waiting in line on your way back into Cancun to return to the U. S. Be sure to get your camera ready once you board the ferry! The views are beautiful!
**Do not throw away your roundtrip ferry ticket once you get to the island! You'll need this ticket to return to Cancun via ferry.
