Airport to Isla Mujures -- Approx Travel Time???
 

We are flying into Cancun and arriving around 4:30 pm. While I am interested in Isla Mujures, I don't know how complicated/time consuming it is to get there from the airport. Anyone that's done that -- what's involved? Thanks :)

Getting to Isla is easy. Take a taxi to Puerto Juarez and catch the ferry over. Once on Isal you might be able to walk to your hotel, depending on where it's located. We went to Isla twice but ut's been several years. Enjoyed it both time. Much more laid back than Cancun.

Very easy using public transportation if you don't have much luggage---no need for an expensive taxi, save your money for Negra Modelo and Leon! :D

At the airport take the ADO bus to the Cancùn Centro terminal for around 35 pesos.
After arriving in Centro, exit the terminal, cross Av. Tulum (to the side where the supermarket is) and catch the R-1 bus. It runs all the time at maybe 5 minute intervals, and costs a huge 7 pesos.
Stay on the bus through Centro until you get to Gran Puerto (look for the lighthouse!). This is where the ferry leaves from and it will take you to the landing at Isla Mujeres. You can catch a putt-putt taxi from there to anywhere on the island.
I would allow 1 1/2 - 2 hours to get to Isla Mujeres this way...but the chance to get a taste of Centro is priceless!

Hmmm....that's what I was afraid of :( Arriving @ 4:30 pm, getting luggage, and then spending two hours to get there... By the time you find your hotel, check in and drop your bags -- it'll have been a very long day. Thanks for the info -- will have to give it some tho't.
