Thank you very much going in November. Is Cozumel or Isla a better place to visit?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

@@churchillcoins8519 That's so exciting! 🙌 Personally, we prefer Isla because of its beaches, but they're both super different, so it depends on your preferences ☺ We made a guide on Cozumel too, this might help you decide ☺🙌

Thanks for all your videos guys! We are visiting Puerto Morelos and Oaxaca for our first ever trip to Mexico this year for our honeymoon, your videos have been so so useful and making us very excited for our Mexican adventure :) From Liam and Emily (Sheffield, UK 🇬🇧)

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Liam and Emily, Thank you so much for your comment, we are so happy to read that our videos have helped you to plan your trip. BTW congratulations on your honeymoon celebration, we bet you will have a great time in this beautiful part of Mexico. Sending you both all the great vibes 🫶❤️🙏

Lovely video with a laid-back vibe. Punta Sur is beautiful and the snorkel place looked so peaceful. Love your swim shirt with the jaguar, Simone. And your dog friend in the end who was interested in your corn 😊

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hey Cindy 🤗🤗 Thank you so much - we're glad you enjoyed this one 🤗🌴☀️ Oh my gosh, punta Sur is stunning - definitely worth the cycle to get there 🙌 Ah thank you so much Cindy - I'm really loving the long sleeve bathing suit trend because my skin gets burnt so easily ☀️☀️ Haha, he ended up getting a little lick at the end 😅 Sending you a big hug 🤗

[@francuccino]

Yes the cable situation is so horrible. 😅😅😅 great video like always. I agree going to the Mayan ruins is worth it. Specially when you go exploring on the first level. I never knew about the colorful stairs. We did the whale sharks. It was amazing. Great video like always. Good job☺️☺️☺️

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hey Frank & Daria 🤗🤗 Oh my gosh, it's crazy to see all those cables if you come from a country that typically hides that all under the ground 😅🫣 Yes, the museum was definitely worth it - if not for the statues, definitely for those views 🤩💦 Next time you're on island, got get some pictures there, it's so fun and colorful 🙌 Ah, and we're so happy to hear that you did the whale sharks - I'm sure it must be an incredible experience 😃 Next year we'll go for sure 👌 Thank you so much for watching and for always leaving such sweet comments, we really appreciate it guys ☺️☺️ Un abrazo fuerte y un besote desde Ted 🤗🤗🐶

[@kitina]

Ola! I'm glad I found your channel! I just had a spontaneous decision to go on a solo trip to Mexico and already booked tickets literally just a few days ago. I'll be there in 2 weeks from now, flying into Cancun and flying out from Mexico city. I'm deciding where to go after 4 days in Valladolid. I've been binge watching your videos to get an idea where to go. I think I'm going to skip Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and even Cancun but I definitely want to stay in Isla Mujeres for a few days before flying to Oaxaca from Cancun. I have considered Isla Holbox too but I think Isla Mujeres is more manageable for me as a solo traveler who can only drive a bike 😅 I'm a Filipino living in Canada and I haven't been on a trip out of Canada since the pandemic so I'm so craving for a tropical weather and street food! 🏝🌮

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Kitina 👋👋 Salamt 🤭. Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. If we were to choose between the Islands here Isla Mujeres is our 1st choice. We are sure you will have a great time in this beautiful country. Thank you so much for watching and we hope our videos help you to plan your trip 🤩🤗

Yes, there's actually like more commercial port called: Punta Sam, but as far as we know, only one person (driver) is allowed to cross to the island with the car, if there are other passenger they should go via other ferry ports :(.

how much cash do you recommend taking to Isla mujeres for a day trip?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

We were actually pretty surprised at how pricey Isla was, compared to Playa del Carmen. If you're on more of a budget and wanting to eat at the smaller, less formal establishments, rent a bike etc. - US$100 should be more than enough 🙌 There are a lot of very nice looking cafes and restaurants and you could also rent a golf cart, as well as the day trips. So if you're going on a higher budget, we'd say US250 upwards🙌

[@malcomflores1266]

What type of camera do you use for your underwater shots?

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

We use a DJI Osmo Action and would highly recommend it 🙌 We shoot on RAW and then color grade in post, but it also has a really great standard color profile 🤩👌 You can find the direct link to all the gear we use, including the action camera in the bio ☺️
