Hi, My name is Carlos and I am new to the forum. I already contacted some of the members who gave me great information about Cancun as well as Playa. I have decided to move to Cancun in November this year (for 4 months) but I still have some questions you could maybe help me answer. As I am now Kitesurfing regularly, I have heard Isla Blanca is a great spot to improve my Kitesurfing abilities. As I will be living in Cancun, is there a cheap and efficient way to get to Isla Blanca from Cancun? I am not planning on having a car so I must rely on public transportation. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Cheers! Carlos
I dont think there is public transport out there! Cycle? Taxi - maybe the windsurfing school does pick ups in town.?
Cycling is possible? How far and how dangerous is it to cycle there with Kitesurf equipment on my back?
i have seen collectivos up there.. with isla blanca on the window just not sure where you catch them.
A friend of mine bikes there frequently, and she says it takes maybe an hour to get there at a leisurely pace. Just watch out for the aluxes on your way
They pass through Puerto Juarez all day, I see them storming up there when i'm on my bike, so must come down the Lopez Portillo meaning you could get one on the corner of Don Celes or outside the market next to the bridge. Should cost you about 15 pesos or something.
Thanks for the feedback! Highly appreciated! When I will arrive I will make sure to check where and when to catch the "Collectivos" driving there. How much would be the taxi just for curiosity?
All the way out to Isla Blanca not sure, but a taxi charged me $100 pesos out to Excellence Playa Mujeres the other week, which I believe is just before Isla Blanca.
Thanks for your replies. Maybe I should try to get a scooter. How dangerous is driving a Scooter in Cancun? Are scooters common and affordable?
The Ikarus kiteboarding school is out there, you may be able to arrange to store your gear with them, might save on transporting it back and forth. Motos are cheap and common here (don't ask me about safety, I'm terrified of anything on two wheels, haha!) Good luck!
