Itinerary

  • Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve

    Sian Ka’an is a tropical wetland paradise – on this tour we visit a thin strip of land bordered by empty stretches of beach, lagoons and lush vegetation on a boat ride that takes us across diverging coastal ecosystems, through mangrove forest and out to the coral reef.

    3 hours

  • Boca Paila

    8km inside the biosphere, where we board a small boat to visit Boca Paila – a vital point of convergence for many animals, where we have the chance to spot the resident birdlife, crocodiles, a plethora of fish and even the rare manatee. Weather permitting, we then head out a short distance on open water to snorkel on the Mesoamerican Barrier reef, where you will be delighted by the healthy corals and fish in abundance. Your homemade lunch will be waiting on the beach when we return and we will relax among the coconut groves for a while and enjoy a swim in the sea if you like, before hitting the road back.

    1 hour

  • Campechen

    Campechen lagoon is the last and largest lagoon of the Sian Ka´an Bisophere. Here we will board a boat and go explore ecosystems and wildlife.

Boat Ride, Wildlife, Snorkeling, and Lunch

Published on Dec, 2024

Jessica was a Fabulous guide! She was knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and energetic! Our family trip was exceptional and enjoyable, and Jessica entertained us as she explained what to expect next! We were able to see all the expected wildlife and go snorkeling without losing anyone along the way!!!

Great Tour and value

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour. Our guide, Martin, was great. Boat captain and driver were great as well. Seeing a very unique unique and different environment of the marsh area versus the beach was interesting and, all though, you can really see the manatee's, checking them out and seeing the occasional snout was new to me. The reef snorkel was great and lunch at a local restaurant/cenote a great way to end the day.

A great wildlife tour at just the right length of time

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour guides picked us up on time and we entered the Sian Ka’an preserve while getting a briefing on what we may see and things we can and can’t do. Capt Luis ran our boat while our guide and another captain took a second boat. We saw manatees, crocodiles and numerous bird species. We even came across partially submerged mayan ruins. After the tour of the mangroves and waterways, we went out to sea where we snorkeled near a reef and saw the ocean critters that lived there. Then…as if that wasn’t enough, we powered back in to shore where we drove to a cenote to go swimming and have a great lunch of chips and tacos. It was a great day and just long enough to feel like you accomplished a lot but still get back to your hotel to spend time on the beach for the remainder of the day.

Maya Ruines & Sian Ka

Published on Nov, 2024

Our Guide was Alonso who picked us up right on time at our hotel. We had a nice and instantly relaxed conversation on our way to pick up some other guests. The Trip was really great. At first we visited the mayan ruines. Alonso told us many things about the mayan culture and the ruins of tulum. After that we had a tasty lunch in tulum at a local Restaurant where our Guide made a reservation for the group. Tasty food and a real local vibe which we glady enjoyed away from the overcrowded touristic Beachfront area. After that we drove to Sian ka. We jumped in „speedboots“ and enjoyed the ride after that we jumped in the water and floated threw the „canals“ of Sian Ka…which was a really great experience! We would always choose Alonso as our Guide again. All the Best , Marvin

Amazing day supporting local community from Tulum

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing time with Paloma, who was very informative during our ruins tour. She accommodated everyone very well. The highlight of our tour was Sian Ka’an Muyil biosphere and floating the lazy river. My friend didnt know swimming but Paloma was very kind and helpful and made sure my friend had a great experience. I will definitely be coming back for the really delicious cookies Paloma brought for us.
