Epic Sian Ka’an Sunset Cruise - What a great experience! We saw many different birds including Osprey, Heron, Pelican, Spoonbill, along with Crocodiles and lastly, Manatees, which we were hoping we get to experience and they did not disappoint! Our guide Manu was on time, a very careful driver, and was super knowledgeable about all the birds and wildlife. The Captain of the boat was extremely friendly and did a great job of getting us in position to see everything. The sunset was amazing! Highly recommend this trip. It’s pricy but worth every penny and then some.

Peaceful and beautiful with a knowledgeable team! - This sunset cruise was a truly beautiful experience! Our guide was Danny and our Captain was George. These two knew all of the best spots to see manatees, crocodiles and every species of bird in the Yucatan! The vibe was peaceful. After running around Tulum, the peace and quiet of the lagoon was exactly what we needed! The colour of the water, the gentle waves, the breeze, the wildlife…was all perfect. Nothing was rushed. Of course watching the birds arrive on their island at sunset was magic! I would highly recommend this tour and this dream team!

More than a private sunset cruisr - I’m not big on trips. This was recommended by the Nest concierge team. It was reassuringly expensive’ but worth every penny. Danny was our guide and Jorge the boat captain. Danny picked us up from the hotel and took us into Sian Ka’an where we got our boat - just us, don’t let the words sunset cruise fool you. This is so much more. Miles and miles of unspoiled lagoon - with manatees and crocodiles aplenty- but even if you saw none it would still be worth doing. We were out 4 hours which sped by. We stopped on a private beach where the lagoon meets the sea and enjoyed home made guacamole. Back in the boat for the most stunning sunset and a rush to watch the birds flocking to an island for the night. The experience is better than words can describe. Heading back to dock in the dark and being the last people around was magical. Donut! It’s worth it!

Nature, peace, & beauty - A wonderful experience! We were essentially the only ones in the reserve, truly peaceful. Danny was an amazing guide. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a great experience in nature.

Like a fairground ride but natural. - Oscar gave us a brilliant private tour. We have travelled a fair amount but this drifting along the canals in turquoise water was truly exceptional. Let me make it clear - the gentle current carries you, not a boat. You just float. All amongst the most stunning under-promoted Sian Kaaba national park. Outstanding
