It is pretty easy to get on a boat charter to Contoy either from 
Cancun or Isla Mujeres.  We've always gone from Mujeres, and there
have never been more than 6 in the group--the place is not crowded.
Most tourists in the area have different interests.  I don't remember
the costs, but it isn't very expensive.  My wife reminds me that we
also say spoonbills there the first time.  Isla Mujeres, incidentally,
is also a nice spot, but not real good for birds (at least before
the hurricane).  I personally would avoid Cancun, but it is a con-
venient place to fly to.  Hope you can make it!
