Visit Contoy Island
Enjoy the natural wonders of the pristine Contoy Island, considered the most important nesting place for sea birds in all of the Mexican Caribbean.
The island is very small, it is only 5 miles long and in places very narrow. The island is a sanctuary for more than 152 species of tropical seabirds such as Frigates, Brown Pelicans, Sea Swallows, and Cormorants among others.
Many other migratory species come to this Yucatan island to spend their winter months in the sanctuary of Contoy. 14 species of reptiles also share the island with the many sea birds and roam the beaches and jungle.
An Adventure Every Nature-Lover Should Experience
Due to the nutrients in the warm waters around the Contoy Island, you can find an abundance of Green Sea Turtles, Spiny Lobster, Octopus, Shrimp, Sardines, and each year large Whale Dolphins migrate here too.
Over 234 species of fish have been counted in Contoy Island!
Before arriving in Contoy, visitors can stop on the way and snorkel in nationally protected waters at Ixlache Reef, home to numerous species of fish and impressive coral formations.
Swim among Parrot Fish, Angel Fish and Puffer Fish. Keep your eyes open for turtles and dolphins! Look up and marvel at the incredible amount of nesting birds on the island! Welcome to Isla Contoy!
