Readily available.

Ferries and Boats
The ferry on foot passengers to Isla Mujeres departs Puerto Juarez, just north of downtown Cancún, eight times a day in both directions

The Caribbean Express and the Caribbean Miss (tel. 987/70254 or 987/70253), both air-conditioned cruisers with bar service, make several 30-minute crossings daily from Puerto Juárez, just north of Cancún, to Isla Mujeres, a small island resort offshore. Boats run from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM at approximately 30-minute intervals; the fare is under $4 per person.

There are three passenger ferries that leave at 7:30, 8:30, 9:30, 10, 10:30, and 11:30 AM, and on the half hour from 12:30 to 7:30 PM; the schedule varies depending on the season, so check the times posted at the dock. The one-way fare is only about $1.50 and the trip takes 45 minutes.

A convenient service, the Shuttle (Cancún, tel. 98/83448), runs directly from the Playa Tortugas dock in Cancún's hotel zone at least four times a day and costs about $15 round-trip.
