Diving - The absolute best instructor I met (Lars) was an amazing experience, have previously dived in Turkey, Dubai but never experienced such experience, this made the diving extremely safe and relaxed! I really had to ask all the questions I could think of and learn on a completely different level, after today I feel that I got more security in the water when it comes to diving! Lars is very keen that everything takes the time it requires and that there must be no stress, he makes sure that there is plenty of time for all elements.

Amazing!!! - We had Juan Carlos as our tour guide. We were running a bit late and he reassured us. It was also my first time kayaking and he was very kind and patient! Gave us a super informative tour of the lagoon and we learned a lot we wouldn’t have known other wise. Highly recommend, was a really relaxing and pleasant thing to do on one of our last days in the area:)

The best experience. - I scheduled directly with the operator via WhatsApp; it was super easy and quick. I made a 50% payment by transfer and the rest before the tour. It has been a beautiful experience; we learned from an expert how to use the kayak. From the beginning, Jessica (highly recommended guide) was very kind, friendly, and patient with us. The entire tour was very pleasant; it provided us with a lot of information about the lagoon, we saw some birds, some fish, lagoon jellyfish, the mangrove, baby mangroves, etc. I definitely recommend this activity 100%; it is relaxing and different, far from the hustle and bustle. Thank you, Jessica, for the beautiful experience.

An absolutely unforgettable kayaking experience in Cancun - An absolutely unforgettable kayaking experience in Cancun – if you want to discover nature in a different way, this tour is simply spectacular. The tour takes you through the beautiful Laguna Nichupté, a nature reserve where you paddle among mangroves, tranquil canals and vibrant ecosystems with birds, fish and local wildlife. surfcozumel.com From the moment you are welcomed, everything is designed to make you feel comfortable, safe and connected to the environment. The Highlife team is exceptional: bilingual guides (Spanish and English) who not only master the technique, but also share interesting facts about the fauna, flora and ecological importance of the place. surfcozumel.com The tour includes high-quality single or double kayaking, life jackets, water, snacks and qualified staff, as well as full assistance throughout. This makes the experience perfect whether you’re a beginner or already experienced rower. surfcozumel.com What I loved most was the sense of tranquility and connection to nature — not only fun, but also relaxing, educational and family-friendly. After the tour you leave with a smile, feeling closer to the Caribbean and eager to continue exploring. surfcozumel.com Highly recommended for those who visit Cancun and want a different eco-adventure, not just another walk in the hotel zone — it’s an authentic way to experience the natural beauty of the region.

Lagoon Kayaking Tour - The meeting point was just across the street from Temptations Cancun behind Oxxo at the pier. We ended up being the only two to book, so ended up being a private tour. So nice! We’re experienced kayakers so was an easy paddle. They had decent equipment too! Juan Carlos (Junior) was an excellent guide. Very enjoyable tour.

Friendly knowledgeable guides! Great Experience! - We had a great time kayaking and learning about the mangrove on our 25th wedding anniversary. Sabrina and Rukes where excellent and very friendly guides. Their passion and care for the mangrove was inspiring. We got a private tour since the possibility of rain led others to reschedule, but we ended up having perfect weather anyway. Overall great time and highly recommend!

Sunset kayaking through calm lagoon and mangroves—peaceful, romantic, and beautifully guided with great photos. - “This kayaking tour struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. We explored hidden lagoons and caves that you could only reach by kayak. The guide made it fun and engaging, taking photos for us and ensuring we felt confident on the water. A must-do experience!”
