Beautiful Sunset - Great experience. Good for beginners. Our guide Andres taught us the basic skills for Kayaking before we start and inform us of every step when we were passing through the channel. Andres also gave us good information about different sea life and animals in the region. Kayaking in the lagoon is an amazing experience and we arrived just in time for the beautiful sunset. It’s a shame that not many people would try this activity in Cancun. I strongly recommend for those who wants to do a bit of exercise, have fun and see the beautiful sunset.

Best kickoff excursion ! Family friendly , relaxing - This tour was the first excursion that we did in Cancun (after we got in from airport) and it was absolutely hands-down fabulous! The guides were excellent, the scenery was amazing, the pace was good and they talked about all the animals and fish in different flows in the mangroves…. We got a bunch of great photos and would totally do this again.. for a 2 hr tour , great price, family friendly. A+++

The best guides and incredible nature! - We absolutely loved our tour!! Andrs was incredibly welcoming and a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and leading local conservation work - we took an evening tour and saw many birds, sting rays, a lobster, and an awesome sunset. Will do again the next time we are in Cancun! Tip: Bring cash because you will want to leave a tip! And get curious - your guides are locals and will answer your nature questions. Mangroves provide critical protection against hurricanes and a core ecosystem. Appreciate this special experience!

Beautiful scenic experience - Very beautiful scenery and relaxing experience. I do wish they explained the proper paddle form at the start, but they helped as we went a long. The weather was very windy the day we went, but the guides contacted us prior to the start and allowed us to reschedule if we didn’t feel comfortable. Overall it was a good experience in a small group. I loved watching the sunset and seeing the animals.

Peaceful Lagoon Paradise - Kayaking in the Cancun lagoon was an unforgettable experience and a perfect break from the busy hotel zone. Passing through the mangroves felt peaceful and almost surreal. Andres was knowledgeable and friendly, pointing out local wildlife and explaining the ecosystem, which made the experience even more meaningful.

Connection with nature - A disconnect from the chaos of Cancun in the heart of the Hotel Zone. The tour is wonderful, the guides super worried that you will have an unforgettable experience. Cancun is usually a very noisy place but if you want a little connection with nature, watching animals and touring a mangrove forest steps from your accommodation, this is the best panorama

No rescheduling, they kept the money. - While I reached out before the tour via both email and WhatsApp, the rescheduling request was denied. To be specific, I submitted my request during July, which is considered the low season. Despite the less busy season, they refused to accommodate the change.
