Wonderful Trip! What a fantastic experience - What an amazing tour! Alondra was fantastic and really knowledgeable about everything we visited. She was so kind when I got a little scared in the water and helped me feel confident so that I can fully enjoy the experience. One of our favourite memories of our trip here. Thank you to Alondra for making it so special for us to remember :)

Great excursion - My family and I booked this tour on our recent vacation. We were staying at a hotel in downtown Tulum and the bus picked us up promptly from the front of the hotel. Our driver for the day was Axel and our tour guide was Paloma. They were fantastic!
Our first stop of the day was the Tulum Archaeological Site. Paloma was very knowledgeable about the history of the Mayans and the culture. We found the tour to be interesting and learned a lot. Paloma advised us before the tour started — make sure to bring lots of water in a reusable bottle, a hat and sunscreen. Great advice because it was exceptionally hot!
After the tour of the ruins, Axel drove us to a local restaurant for lunch. It was delicious!
The final stop (and by far our favorite) was at Sian Ka’an. What an adventure! The boat ride through the mangroves was amazing. Paloma gave us more insights into the Mayans and the area as we floated down the canal. The current is strong and just pushes you along. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The water felt amazing and definitely cooled us down.
In our way back to town, Paloma gave us lots of recommendations for nearby restaurants we should try, which we appreciated.
Overall, it was a great excursion!

Between history and nature! Wonderful experience - We were guided by Lili and Ernesto who first told us several gems about the Mayans, at the same time as visiting the archaeological site, and then accompanied to discover the nature reserve of Sian ka'an. Unique experience with a surprise that I will not reveal. Provare per scoprire! Super recommended

Fantastic day of discovery - This was such a well-planned tour from start to finish, and a highlight of our trip! Lily and Jesus made us feel comfortable right away, beginning with the ride to Tulum, where Lily shared her extensive knowledge of the area’s culture and history. Lunch was spectacular and authentic, and special care was given to my dietary needs. Sian Ka’an is not to be missed, a truly beautiful and isolated area with an amazing float in natural current, surrounded by mangrove. I will definitely book more excursions with this group if I ever return to the area. Thank you for a fantastic day!

Gift of Relaxation to Counter the Hurricane - We signed up for two different Sian Kaan tours by mistake and I can tell by how everything was handled that we picked the right one to go by. Luigi made everything run smooth, we had a wonderful time and a local lunch added just the right ticket. Floating in the canals is one of the most relaxing experiences because then we had to scramble to get out of the area due to Hurricane Beryl. AGAIN BEWARE there is another company with a similar name which lead us into a very expensive day :(

Great Tour Group - Our excursion was unfortunately cancelled due to inclement weather, but the tour group offered us two other excursions that were even better at no additional charge. You can’t go wrong with this your group.

Perfectly peaceful and fun outing for a family - We loved this tour! This tour company is the best....small groups and awesome guides. We had the best day floating with Macarena! It was a bummer that the government shut down the archeological site but the tour is still great. We had 3 kids with us ages 8, 12, and 16 and they all loved it. It's a peaceful yet fun outing. No hotel can replicate a truely natural lazy river--don't miss this!
