We recommend booking with Happy Shuttle for shuttles from Cancun International Airport to the Puerto Juarez Ultramar Ferry, which takes you to Isla Mujeres. We recommend selecting the option that includes ferry tickets to save you a step. It’s a flat rate private shuttle for up to 8 people so if you are traveling with a group it is best to take the same flight. Discount code for 5% off private round trip transportation: WED0225BB

Located 30 minutes from the Cancun airport at Puerto Juarez, the Ultramar Ferry runs frequently (every 30 min). We recommend sitting on the roof & enjoying the live music on the way to Isla Mujeres, but there are also air-conditioned seats available on the first floor of the ferry.

Izla Hotel is our recommended hotel for wedding guests due to proximity to our venue, Hacienda Caribe. Golf Carts are especially recommended when staying in South Isla Mujeres to better traverse the island. Taxis are also readily available upon request at the hotel. February is high season in Isla Mujeres, so we do recommend booking your hotel as far in advance as possible to ensure your stay, as some rooms are booked more than a year in advance!

Golf carts are the main mode of transportation on Isla and we recommend renting 1 for your group while on the island. They average $90 a day for a four seater and there are many rental companies at the ferry port and in town. Due to high season in February, we recommended reserving one in advance online. You can drive anywhere on the island in roughly 20 minutes and there is only one main road so it is tough to get lost!
