Sian Kaan Adventure Tour with Ursula and Oscar - We took a trip from Tulum to Sian Kaan with Mexikokantours. Our guides were Ursula and Oscar. We can absolutely recommend both guides...they accompany the tour with a passion for nature, perfectly organized...from the pick-up at the hotel to the end of the tour, everything was great 👍 Ursula speaks perfect German, Spanish, English, Portuguese and French. She explained everything to us about the nature reserve and we also received a lot of information about Yucatán including recommendations for other trips. If you love nature, this trip is perfect for you. We saw a lot of animals and Punta Allen is also a very special place. Lunch was delicious.

Amazing day!! - The day was impressive, we started by seeing animals from the boat (manatees, dolphins, turtles, birds, fish...), it was a great time. The guide Macarena was really passionate and fascinating, we learned lots of information about the Sian Kaan biosphere, especially about the animals. We were able to go snorkelling to see more of the seabed. We were served snacks and the included lunch was excellent. We definitely recommend this excursion. Finally, there was no waste, no plastics and the animals were respected in their living space throughout our day.

Great tour - Everything was very well organized! A great tour. Jessie, Nikita and Rogelio were very committed and friendly. We saw a lot of animals. It was just a shame that we couldn't snorkel on the reef.

A true nature experience - An amazing visit to this stunning biosphere. Pablo did an ace job of describing the significance of the the different ecosystems and their relationships. I was especially impressed with the sight of a cenote bubbling up and several manatees with 2 calves right around our boat, such a privilige to have this luck. Well done Pablo and Captain.

Along Mayan paths - Hello! We are Carmen and Isabel, from Spain. We discovered this activity through adventure traveler bolgs. We are very happy with the experience and the super guide Alejo. He knew how to combine history, local stories and relaxed conversation. What we liked most was letting ourselves be carried away by the current, floating through the channel. We recommend it 100%

A series of photos on my retina that will never be erased - The best experience in Mexico for those of us who are lovers of nature, adventure, water and prefer it to what was built by the hand of man. It is perfection at its finest.

Emotion and laughter at sian k’aan - Great family experience with Nikita and Christine! Nikita shares her joy and her knowledge of the mangrove both on land and underwater. What an emotion to be immersed for at least a day in this fragile environment, hoping to have respected it as best as possible, but our guides were as attentive as one can be on this subject. Thanks to Gaspard for the drifts, we had a good laugh too! The game is worth it: we will never see crocodiles again, manatees, open sea cenotes where they drink, sea turtles. Thank you again
