The canal between Cancún and Isla Mujeres looks different from the bow of a boat [OC]
Most people take the ferry from Puerto Juárez and spend the crossing looking at their phones. Crossing this channel from the water level — not the ferry deck — is a completely different thing. The color shift between the lagoon and the open Caribbean happens in about 200 meters, you can see the exact line where the bottom changes. The hotel zone skyline is only visible for about a 15-minute window before you round the point toward Isla.
Been working this route since before half those hotels were built.
Anyone been to Isla Mujeres recently — still worth the day trip or has it gotten too crowded?
