Tips from our team for Isla Mujeres Ferry

What travellers ask us most about this route, answered by the people who drive it.

eTransfers local teamDriving this route since 2010 Verified by our team at CUN
  • If you land at night

    Go to Puerto Juarez: the last ferry leaves at 11:00 p.m. At the Hotel Zone docks the last boat leaves between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m., and a delayed flight there means no crossing.

  • Buy an open ticket

    Ultramar tickets are good for six months on any day and departure on the route, and Xcaret Xailing open tickets work on any available departure. That way it does not matter when your plane lands.

  • Luggage on the ferry

    Ultramar includes one bag of up to 25 kg (55 lb) per ticket. If you have more, mention it at the ticket window before boarding; your driver drops you and all your bags at the dock.

  • Can we stop on the way?

    Yes. A stop at a grocery store or a pharmacy is the one almost everybody asks for, and it is added when you book rather than negotiated with the driver.

“I recently traveled to Cancun with my family, and we booked a transfer service from the airport to our hotel in the Hotel Zone through this agency. It was the best decision we made! The driver was waiting for us upon arrival, and the entire process was seamless. Highly recommend!”

Questions about getting to Isla Mujeres Ferry

Which dock does the Isla Mujeres ferry leave from?
Coming from the airport, go to Puerto Juarez: the Ultramar terminal on Avenida Lopez Portillo, just north of downtown Cancun. It has the most departures, and it opens earliest and closes latest. The Hotel Zone docks —El Embarcadero at km 4.5, run by Xcaret Xailing, and Playa Tortugas at km 6.5 and Playa Caracol at km 9.5, run by Ultramar— make sense if you are already staying in the Hotel Zone, but they have fewer departures and the last boat leaves between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.
How far is Puerto Juarez from Cancun airport?
About 22 km by road. That is 35 min without traffic; at rush hour it can take longer, and the price stays the same.
How much is the ferry to Isla Mujeres?
Per person, as of September 2026: Ultramar charges MX$290 one way and MX$580 round trip per adult, and MX$220 and MX$440 per child, the same from Puerto Juarez, Playa Tortugas and Playa Caracol, plus a MX$36.56 environmental sanitation fee required by the municipality. Xcaret Xailing, from El Embarcadero, charges MX$295 one way and MX$590 round trip per adult, and MX$225 and MX$450 per child aged 6 to 11. Quintana Roo residents and INAPAM cardholders pay less.
What time does the Isla Mujeres ferry leave?
Per the schedules published as of September 2026: from Puerto Juarez, Ultramar runs from 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., every half hour most of the day and hourly after 6:00 p.m.; the last boat back from the island leaves at midnight. The Hotel Zone has fewer: El Embarcadero, hourly from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Playa Tortugas, 9:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Playa Caracol, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In bad weather the harbour master can halt crossings.
How long is the ferry ride to Isla Mujeres?
About 20 minutes from Cancun, according to the Quintana Roo Tourism Board. The ferry lines ask you to be at the terminal 30 minutes before departure.
How much is a taxi from the airport to Puerto Juarez?
The airport does not publish the fare: the site of ASUR, the airport operator, lists the taxi service but not its prices, and we found no official published rate, so we will not quote a number we cannot back up. Airport taxis charge a fixed fare by zone, which you see at the counter before you pay. Our transfer to Puerto Juarez starts at $45 per vehicle, locked in before you fly.
Is there an ADO bus from the airport to Puerto Juarez?
Not directly. The ADO bus runs from airport Terminals 2, 3 and 4 to the downtown Cancun bus station: MX$145 per person, about an hour, with departures every 20 to 40 minutes until close to midnight, according to ADO as of September 2026. From the downtown station to Puerto Juarez you still need a taxi or a city bus, with your bags.
How much is the transfer from the airport to Puerto Juarez?
From $45 per vehicle one way, with taxes and luggage included and drop-off at the ferry dock. The price is per vehicle, not per person. The ferry ticket is not included: you buy it at the ticket window or online from the ferry line.
Can I use a ride app instead?
Ride apps work in the area but cannot pick up inside the airport, and at night there may be nothing available. What you find at the terminal are the authorized taxis. A booked transfer is the only option with the price closed before you land.
Can I cancel?
With the Premium fare, yes: free up to 24 hours before pickup, with no explanation and no fee, and changes are free up to 12 hours before. The Economy fare, the cheapest one, has no free cancellation, but it includes one change if you let us know at least 24 hours ahead.
