Don't think, just do this tour! - Unfortunately, our tour in the morning was canceled due to circumstances. This was neatly resolved and as an alternative we could go for the same tour the same day, but with the sunset. Our guide deserves a true 10+. He speaks perfect English, knows a lot about the area and the lake and is a really nice guy. (And don't forget his best buddy, the dog)

Magic - A unique moment, timeless! From the beginning to the end. Departure under a starry night (we were able to see a shooting star 😍), splendid sunrise and breakfast on arrival (gourmet plate of fruit and toast)! We also appreciated the little touch with the bottle of water and a cereal bar in our water bag. As well as the big plus, the photos and videos taken by Moïse our guide. Negative reviews come from eternally dissatisfied people 😉

Stars to sunrise on a kayak! What's not to love - Great tour, so cool to be out on the lagoon in the pitch black and watch the stars turn into the sunset :)

Magical Tour! - The tour was magical! Getting up early was definitely worth it. We started paddling in the dark, under the stars. Moi, our guide, took us to quiet places and gave us info about the nature. Overall, the tour was a perfect mix of sports activity and relaxing. It is one of our favorites from our vacation and we look forward to receiving the pictures that Moi took. Ps. Don't forget mosquito spay!

Beautiful sunrise - The sunrise was beautiful. It was definitely worth getting up early. Some of the kayaks - but not all of them - are transparent. And it doesn't really matter because you won't see fishes in this area. The communication after doing the reservation was very good - I received all necessary information about the meeting point and what to wear/bring. Questions were answered quickly. On the day of the tour I would have appreciated to be welcolmed as a group at the meeting point and to be informed about the programm of the day before going on the kayak. Furthermore, it would have been nice to go a bit further with the kayak and to spend more time on the kayak or swimming in the lake. Unfortunately the tour guide didn't speak English and only those who understood Spanish could follow his explanations. When doing a reservation, it is recommended to ask if there will be an English speaking tour guide as well.

Non-transparent sunrise kayaking - There was no transparent kayaks, just regular that was offered. When asked, a man on the phone gave us some BS excuses. Our guide didn't speak much English so all we did was follow him and stopped when he stopped. English is the universal language... he would have earned tips if he provided more information. They did provide a dry bag, a small bottle of water, and granola type bar before going into the water. For breakfast, we were given 1 mango, Bimbo toast with coffee of peanut butter, jam or Nutella spread along with instant coffee. Don't expect too much in Mexico otherwise you'll be disappointed. The sunrise & lagoon view was spectacular but nothing that you couldn't do on your own if you rent the kayak from your own hotel.

Disappointed - Tour was fun, but never received the promised and taken photos. Messages were sent several times, promises were made but never fulfilled. There is now no response anymore.

Worst experience ever!!! - When I contact the provider 1 week ago, to the tour provider asked me to show up at 5:30 am. However, he didn't show up. Try multiple times to contact him via WhatsApp and calls, wait for 40 mins. No response until now. Totally waste our time and ruin our day.

I have been scammed Do not book with these people - I paid for the excursion online and they canceled it and they have not refunded my money more than €100. If you write to them on WhatsApp or call them, they don't answer you and block you. Do not use this agency they can scam you
