Serene ride - It was a very beautiful, peaceful experience. I believe you need to update your website because we were also suppose to see some Mayan ruins but is now closed? Overall Edwardo and our captain were extremely helpful and nice men.

An absolutely... - An absolutely unforgettable experience. Floating through the crystal-clear channels surrounded by lush jungle and the sounds of nature was surreal—effortless, serene, and deeply relaxing. The water is unbelievably clear and cool, and the gentle current carries you along so you can truly be present and take it all in.
Our guide was exceptional: knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about protecting this special place. Easily a highlight of our trip and something I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Can't-miss experience - tranquil, beautiful and unique. - This tour was absolutely phenomenal. Edgar was a wonderful guide. The experience was stunning, tranquil, relaxing, unique...I cannot speak highly enough of our experience. We were the only ones on the tour and Edgar gave us a great rundown on the history of the area, answered all of our questions and ensured we had the best possible time. Sian Ka'an is gorgeous and seemed to us to be relatively untouched. We were some of the only people there which made it even more special. This is a can't-miss in Tulum.

Best tour in Tulum - This is one of the best tours I have ever been on! Such an amazing cook, unique experience exploring the Sian Kaan! It is beautiful and so relaxing! Think natural lazy river with warm fresh water!
Manual was the best guide and even recommend some amazing restaurants for us to go to after! On our next visit back we will 100% do this tour again!

Not as advertised - This tour advertises visiting ruins, but it does not go there. The Sian canals are beautiful and definitely worth a visit but go with a tour takes you to everything you pay for. This was a very quick tour and it was the most expensive one we took while in Tulum, it was hard to understand why it was so expensive. There were also no snacks provided as it said, but the tour guide stopped at a taco shop on the way back and had us pay for his food and our own.
