Kayaking and Snorkeling Experience through Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve

one of the best experiences i’ve ever had. first we went snorkeling in an open cenote; afterwards we were taken kayaking, which was absolutely incredible. we learned about the different bird species living on the islands and caught the sunset. our amazing tour guides led us further out for some incredible views; we ended up kayaking back under the moon and stars. words and pictures cannot do the tour justice. just go!

Wow, what an experience! Rodrigo and Ricardo took us snorkeling in a cenote (they provided gear), fed us supper (tamales, fruit, trail mix, coffee, guac), and led us kayaking through the lagoons. We saw the sunset and tons of birds! We enjoyed going with this group and felt like one of their friends. They take go-pros and professional cameras and share all pictures with you, free of charge. Definitely recommend this to everyone!

Raul and Rodriguez were very knowledgeable about the cenotes and the biosphere. Raul was an incredible guide who knew a lot about the history of the country and was very familiar with all the flora and fauna of the biosphere. They spoke perfect English and it was just us on the trip so it was an incredible private experience!

We had really bad wind due to the approaching storms, so the kayak was difficult. However the tour guides were great/fun and really made sure to get a lot of pictures for our memories. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous and so worth the struggle.

this was our first time in Tulum and definitely not the last. we had the pleasure of going out snorkeling and kayaking with Ishmael and he was AmAZING. he was so knowledgeable and so kind. the fruit and tamales for lunch were among the best we had ever had! i would highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to learn more about the Eco system of Tulum and Mexico.

Ishmael and Richard were awesome guides. Their English is really good and they care about the environment and the flora and fauna. We started off in a cenote where the visibility wasn’t great because of the algae but it was still relaxing to snorkel through it. And we came across a crocodile in the brush and some schools of fish by the mangroves. My boyfriend got to dive into the water from a platform so that was fun! Then we kayaked around sunset to where a bunch of birds nest. Omg, we kayaked for 6km and saw so many species of birds. It was awesome as was the sky turning beautiful shades of orange, pink, purple and bluish gray. And we had this incredible full moon that lit to right above where our dock was. It was pretty spectacular. It’s an awesome workout but if you’re too lazy/hungover/not physically in the best shape, I’m sure to can get someone else to kayak for you as you soak up the surroundings. But we kayaked on our own... slept like a baby.

I must do trip in tulum.are guides were the best and very informative. I would do this again and again.
