Puerto Juárez – Isla Mujeres
If you are traveling from Cancun airport or the ADO bus station in Cancun, you will most likely be transported by your transfer company or taxi to Puerto Juarez ferry terminal. From here ferries leave every 30 minutes during peak hours until 6PM, after 6PM they leave every hour until 11PM from Puerto Juarez to the island. The last ferry crosses back to Cancun from Isla Mujeres at 12AM. This is the most popular and busy ferry terminal, with the ferry only taking 18 minutes to cross. You can occasionally enjoy live music on the top floor of the smaller ferries, or on the middle floor of the larger ferries. Ultramar has ferries with both indoor and outdoor seating.
