The passenger ferry for Isla Mujeres officially leaves from Puerto Juárez every thirty minutes between 6am and 8pm with both fast (15min; US$3.50) and slow (45min; US$1.80) services.

However, in reality they simply leave when full, often at the same time. To get to the ferry terminal, catch a bus ("Ruta 13") heading north from the stop on ATulum, opposite the bus station (20min), or take a taxi from Tulum (around US$3.50).

The car ferry (US$13 for car, plus US$2 for each passenger) leaves from Punta Sam, a few kilometers north of Puerto Juárez.

There are fie departures daily between 8am and 8.15pm, returning from Isla Mujeres between 6.30am and 7.15pm. However, it isn't really worth taking a car over to the island, which is small enough to cycle around and has plenty of bicycles and mopeds for rent
