Highly Recommend this Sian Ka’an tour! - Our trip to Sian Ka’an was amazing! We saw turtles, crocodiles, manatees, and dolphins, plus soooo many species of birds! Maca was a fantastic guide, so impressed with her language skills, Spanish, French, and English! Lunch in Punta Allen was delicious

Great guides - Ursula and Nico were great tour guides - you couldn’t ask for better. Friendly, funny and took care of everyone on the group. It’s a long day, but plenty of stops to swim in crystal clear water, eat lunch and get a nice coffee in the village before heading back. We saw dolphins, manatees, a huge turtle, and many cool birds. The flora and fauna were interesting as well.

Best guides ever - 10000% recommend, especially Ursula, Niko, and driver Jonathan! Having Andrea as a badass captain was icing on the cake. Everyone really took care of us throughout the day. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Amazing dolphin, manatee, crocodile, and mating bird sightings!

One that shouldn’t be missed. - Excellent tour of the bio-reserve with a very passionate and knowledgeable guide (Miguel). We spotted a multitude of birds, manatees, dolphins, turtles and crocodiles. It was an excellent naturalistic experience.

Spectacular nature journey - They picked us up at our hotel in the Zara neighbourhood of Tulum right on time and whisked us and other guests down the quite bumpy road towards the UNESCO World Heritage site at Sian Ka’an. On the way, our super-enthusiastic guide, Pablo (you’ll understand when you meet him), explained the itinerary as well as the rules in the reserve. Once in the reserve, the road goes from bumpy to BUMPY! But shortly we arrived at a site for a quick and final toilet visit, and then onto boats manned by truly expert captains and wildlife spotters. Manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, insane bird life, and more. Go for the whole day option. It’s exceptional.
