Book your private transfer from Cancun International Airport (CUN) to the Puerto Juarez ferry terminal
Puerto Juarez sits on the mainland just north of downtown Cancun, and it is the main dock where the passenger ferries to Isla Mujeres depart. If your hotel is on the island, a private car is the first leg of your trip, not the whole trip. The drive from Cancun Airport to the terminal runs about 25 to 30 minutes under normal traffic, sometimes closer to 35 during peak arrival hours or holiday weekends. From there, you walk onto an Ultramar ferry for the 20-minute crossing to the island.

From Cancun Airport to Puerto Juarez
Your driver picks you up at Cancun Airport arrivals and takes Highway 180 north, bypassing the Hotel Zone entirely since Puerto Juarez sits on the opposite side of Cancun from the resort strip. The road runs past Puerto Morelos in the reverse direction from where most transfers go, through local traffic near downtown Cancun, and ends at the Puerto Juarez terminal gate.
It is worth being clear about what this transfer does and does not include. Your private vehicle takes you to the dock, full stop. It does not cross the water, and it cannot, because Isla Mujeres is an island reachable only by boat. Once you arrive at Puerto Juarez, you will need a separate passenger ferry ticket for the crossing to the island, which takes roughly 20 minutes on the Ultramar line and runs frequently throughout the day. Your driver can point you to the ticket counter, but the ferry itself is booked and paid for separately from your ground transfer.
If you are staying on the mainland, near downtown Cancun or close to the terminal itself, this transfer gets you door to door with nothing else to arrange. If your destination is one of the island hotels, plan for the ferry as its own short leg of the journey, not an afterthought tacked onto your ride.

How to book
Reserve online with your flight number, arrival time, and passenger count. We track incoming flights, so if your plane lands late, your driver adjusts and waits rather than leaving you stranded at the curb. Round-trip bookings let you lock in the return leg from Puerto Juarez back to the airport at the same time, which is useful if you are only spending the day on the island or heading home straight from a hotel stay on the mainland side.
Payment is handled at booking, with no cash needed on pickup unless you want to tip your driver. Confirmations arrive by email with your driver's contact details.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Isla Mujeres ferry ticket included in the Puerto Juarez transfer?
No. Canada Transfers covers the ground ride between Cancun Airport and the Puerto Juarez passenger terminal. The ferry ticket is purchased separately, and travelers staying on Isla Mujeres also need to account for the short island-side ride from the ferry dock to their hotel.
What happens if my flight is delayed and I miss the ferry I planned to take?
Your airport pickup can adjust because the flight is monitored, but the ferry operates on its own timetable. Check the current ferry departures for your travel day and plan to take the next practical crossing rather than treating one specific sailing as part of the ground-transfer reservation.
How should I plan the return from Isla Mujeres to Cancun Airport?
Work backward from the flight. First choose a ferry that reaches Puerto Juarez with enough time to collect luggage and meet the private vehicle, then preserve the normal airport check-in buffer. The airport pickup should be based on the ferry arrival, not only on hotel checkout time.
Does the private vehicle take me all the way to an Isla Mujeres hotel?
No. The vehicle ends at the Puerto Juarez ferry terminal because Isla Mujeres is reached by water. After the ferry crossing, a taxi, golf-cart taxi, or hotel-arranged ride covers the final island leg. This page prices only the airport-to-terminal ground transfer.
