Sunset, mangroves & really good vibes - The tour was really great! Axel and Gabi are totally nice, unobtrusive guides and spending time with them was really fun. We have seen a lot – puffer fish, birds, crabs ... really cool. The biggest highlight was the small detour through the middle of the mangroves and later the sunset at the pier from the starting point. There were only three of us on the road, so everything was super relaxed and totally slowing down. Absolutely recommended for a relaxing afternoon.

Such a fun beautiful experience - Our guide was so fun and really had a good time interacting with him. The mangrove canals were so gorgeous. Highly recommend this tour. Great communication. And if you think you will not get wet, think again. Would do this again.

Very accommodating for different abilities - Gabby and Axl where top notch. The communication before was super helpful and they answered all my questions. The meeting spot was easy to find. The walk down to the water was a wooden boardwalk that was easily navigated by my mom in a walker. Axl helped my handicapped 70 year old mom, my 5 year old nephew and everyone in between. The first stretch to the mangroves was not very fun and full of boat traffic (our tour was 4pm). Once inside the quieter part it was nice. Lots of bugs, put on spray in advance! We say some cool birds and interesting fish and the trip back was in amazing golden hour light with the sunset. I wouldn't say this is an "easy" tour and you should have some level of physical fitness to do this paddle. If you have that I would highly recommend.

Great and calming experience, friendly service / Moc hezký a uklidňující zážitek - Review in Czech below / česká verze dole We took a tour at 4 pm and it was great. It is a guided tour for about 2.5 hour. Both Gaby - handling the logistic and Axel, our guide were very friendly and helpful. Axel took pictures of us during the trip and they were later e mailed to us, nice little extra. They also offer a snack (banana) and water at the midpoint. Axel told us a lot of interesting things. We truly enjoyed and would highly recommend. Hezký a uklidňující zážitek. Velmi kvalitní a přátelský personál. Náš průvodce Axel nám vyfotí několik fotek, které jsme potom dostali e mailem. Hezká maličkost, která potěšila. Asi 2.5 hodinová cesta po laguně, Axel nám sdělil spoustu zajímavých věcí. V půlce čety nám byl nabídnut banán a voda. Velice přijatelná cena, velmi doporučujeme.

Amazing time in the lagoon! - Very nice tour of the lagoon, Alex was our tour guide and had a wrath of knowledge about the plant and animal life of the lagoon! The guide was very attentive. Gabby was the fixer that gave us all the information and n how to arrive. Both were great, will be back! Nice arm workout but not too difficult.

Peaceful and Safe - Did the 8AM tour, nice, peaceful, and safe tour with Axel, who was knowledgeable and informative about the flora and fauna surrounding us. Going through the mangroves was a unique experience. Enjoyed seeing birds, fish, termite homes, and cruising through the lagoon.

Fantastic tour with a great guide! - Axel was a great guide and took us through a a really cool series of channels and mangrove forests. My partner was a little slower, so he waited and helped her while he let me paddle on ahead. The mangroves were really peaceful, exactly what we needed after a really exhausting series of parties the previous days!

Magical kayak tour in Cancun - It was such a fun experience, especially if you’re from a city/suburban area. You get to see this huge beautiful lagoon on a kayak at your own pace. We got lucky, it was just my friend and I for the 4 pm tour. It was surreal cause at times we had the lagoon all to ourselves. Lots of birds to see, little crabs, fishes. Nature! The meeting point was a little hard for us to find, so get there a little early so you have time to figure out where to go. You can also call your point of contact for help. We loved it!
