Hi @GNaz Isla de Mujeres is Great place to visit. You will enjoy clear water Beach, and a lot of placed to do snorkeling. Tortugranja is a space next to a beach area they have to promote to keep clean our environment and the sea creatures, specially tortugas. You can drive around the island on a Rented golf cart. When arriving to tortugranja you park in a small parking area and go direct to the entrance and buy your ticket. No they don’t offer advance ticket. This is a small to medium size place. It have concrete pool where they have larger tortoise. And also a sand area where the relocate the eggs. No tour guide, but a lot of posters with information regarding sea species. You will be there about 40 minutes and see it all.
