      This tour was the first excursion that we did in Cancun (after we got in from airport) and it was absolutely hands-down fabulous! The guides were excellent, the scenery was amazing, the pace was good and they talked about all the animals and fish in different flows in the mangroves…. We got a bunch of great photos and would totally do this again.. for a 2 hr tour , great price, family friendly. A+++

      Beautiful Sunset

      WaiShan_A, Apr 2026
      Great experience. Good for beginners. Our guide Andres taught us the basic skills for Kayaking before we start and inform us of every step when we were passing through the channel. Andres also gave us good information about different sea life and animals in the region. Kayaking in the lagoon is an amazing experience and we arrived just in time for the beautiful sunset. It’s a shame that not many people would try this activity in Cancun. I strongly recommend for those who wants to do a bit of exercise, have fun and see the beautiful sunset.

      Fantastic experience

      Nice but challenging

      Gilad_S, Feb 2025
      I feel guilty "ruining" the all 5 reviews but didn't feel like this warranted one. This was overall a nice experience and the guides were wonderful but the kayaking part itself was quite boring for about 75% of the time and the open sea part of it was quite difficult with the stream against you (maybe easier in the morning?). The part where you actually go in the narrow parts was a lot of fun and quite challenging (in a good way) but that was about 30-40 min of the 2+ hour experience. We were with kids so that definitely made it harder but we have been on many kayak trips with them and I never worked this hard... Also, while sunset sounds fun and romantic, it basically means you have the sun in your eyes most of the time.

      Fantastic sunset kayaking

      Madeline_K, Nov 2024
      Amazing guides, super small group (5 total) and perfectly paced. We did go on a day with intense winds but it was still fantastic, even the beginners of the group enjoyed.

      Relaxing and adventurous

      Moriah_R, Jul 2024
      Andres is very knowledgeable and gave great instructions prior to the kayaking trip. It was educational, relaxing and adventurous all in one. The views/environment was very beautiful and unique and we saw some animals. Definitely recommend this excursion!

      A must do tour!!

      BEST EXPERIENCE EVER

      cardell_R, May 2024
      The love that the tour guides have for giving this tour out it over the top. They were the best guides I’ve ever had an excursion with across 9 different countries. If you love nature, being on the water, a bit of a physical challenge (but not too challenging) BOOK THIS TOUR!

      Muchas gracias amigos!!

      Amazing tour guides.

      Kevin_C, Feb 2024
      I was surprised how immersive this tour can get. You go far from the noise of the hotels district, deep into the mangroves. I will suggest this to anyone traveling to Cancun.

      Thankyou Go Kayak for the adventure, our family enjoyed kayaking arround the mangroves, seeing the wildlife and learning more about the area from you. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to slow down on holiday and take in Cancun at a slower pace.

      Terrific way to enjoy the sunset!

      Ronald_C, Jul 2023
      Our guide Andris was terrific, totally knowledgeable, entertaining and fun! Was a relaxing/enjoyable way to watch the sunset, casually navigating through the mangroves. Definitely recommend.

      Amazing

      Cassandra_S, Jan 2023
      Andres was such an amazing guide. Super knowledgeable and was very thorough with his safety teachings. I’ve gained so much knowledge about the mangroves and the surroundings in and out of the waters! This was an amazing tour. So relaxing and calm. I would definitely recommend this tour and come back to do it again.

      Thank you so much for your kind words, we hope to see you again soon!

      The best experience in Cancun

      Qilin_S, Jan 2023
      This is the best experience I had in Cancun. Inside of the trees, it is so peaceful and quiet. we also see a lot of birds, fish. In addition, the guide is very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. I would come back again if I am visiting Cancun next time

      The passion the guide has for the water is incredible, he was extremely polite and detailed , he was able to show us and educate us about the waters we were on and made the whole trip very memorable for My wife and I.

      Thank you! we are glad you enjoyed our experience, hope to see you soon!

      Bring bug spray!!

      Matthew_V, Dec 2021
      It was a very nice experience. Our first times kayaking ever before and the instructor was clear and what you had to do to control the kayak was very easy and straight forward. Wish I brought bug spray because I was almost eaten alive lol. But other than that it was a great experience to enjoy. I just wish we could’ve seen more of the sunset, we saw it for a bit and it was beautiful but we had to keep going with our route back to base. Loved it!

      Response from Host, Dec 2021

      Thank you for the review, we are glad you enjoyed our experience! Next time we'll have some bug spray just in case :)

      100% recommended
