Very unique experience and worth waking up early to experience the area’s natural beauty, wildlife, and, of course, sunrise.
Driver was kind and made good conversation (Spanish only) and our guide was super knowledgeable of the area’s history, biology, and conservation efforts (English/Spanish).
Breakfast was made fresh using the produce they grow and harvest. The snacks they offered (cookies, chips, etc) were also produced using local products. Everything was simple but delicious.
We will definitely come back and recommend it to friends/family.

By far one of the best sites in Mexico City. Beautiful scenery and educational trip. Words and pictures can't show you what you will see on this sunrise trip. Would highly recommend. Don't miss it.

Thank you! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the breathtaking views and the unique experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Highly highly recommend this tour. All logistics were so well organized, and the chinampa tour itself was lovely at sunrise. Saw lots of birds and enjoyed learning about the ecology and agriculture from our thoughtful and enthusiastic guide!

Thank you for your wonderful recommendation, we're delighted you enjoyed sunrise.
Amazing experience and totally worth it. Our canoe rower/guide was Marcus and he was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about preserving the ecosystem of the area. We learned a lot about the local ecosystem and go to eat a fresh breakfast (most delicious cherry tomatoes I've ever had). The sunrise was beautiful, but much colder than expected. Marcus provided us with fresh blankets, which were a life saver.
What a unique and wonderful experience. Totally different (and IMO so much more appealing) than all the Xochimilco party trips. Our guide Marcos was fabulous and so knowledgeable. We learned a lot. And to see the day break surrounded by 250 species of birds on an organic farm technically in CDMX city limits was a wonderful experience.
It was an amazing tour that took us on a canoe through the canal before sunrise and before any other tourists arrived. We arrived at an eco-farm/garden where the tour guide and others run. The tour guide was very knowledgable, and we learned about how the farm/garden tries to restore and maintain a healthy eco-system there. Our breakfast was cooked right at the farm with all the ingredients from the garden. The tour is absolutely worth it and the money goes to supporting the farm. Just make sure to wear thick winter clothes and warm shoes. It was very cold in the early morning. The tour guide prepared several blankets for us and that saved my life. But the blankets couldn't over the feet. I was wearing sneakers and regular socks, which were not enough to prevent cold air and dampness from freezing my toes. Also, the description says the activity starts at 5:30am, but it takes about an hour to get there, so the driver may come to pick you up at 4:30am, which is what happened to us. I highly recommend the tour, just be prepared to 1) get up at 4/4:30am and 2) wear warm clothes and shoes.
Great from pick-up to drop off. Driver, guide, etc. all very pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. This was the opposite experience to party boats (which was what we wanted).
The tour is unique, getting to Xochimilco before crowds and having breakfast at a traditional farm and learning about agriculture and local ecosystems
If you want to see Xochimilco, but aren't interested in the party-boat experience, this is a terrific alternative.
We went mid-week in the middle of December, and it ended up being a private tour. My wife and I and the tour guide / rower.
This is a great way to learn about the 1,000-year history of Xochimilco, how they were constructed, how they are maintained, and the ecology.
If you are a birdwatcher, this is an excellent tour also.

We’re thrilled you enjoyed the unique sunrise, local flavors, and knowledgeable guidance! Thank you for recommending us warmly.
This was a nice experience , for us to enjoy nature, learn the history of Xochimilco, we learn a lot of way they are using Chinanpas and the area in general
A very quiet and educational experience. We had five others in our group. This tour included round trip transportation from our hotel. Other tours do not so pay attention to that when comparing.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for joining us; we're glad the outing felt peaceful, informative, and organized throughout.
Amazing scenery, birds, peaceful, lots of information about the history and ecology of the area. A delicious breakfast made from ingredients grown on their organic farm.

Hi Jennifer
thanks for flying with us
We really enjoyed this experience. The driver picked us up at the hotel in Polanco right on time. Marcos was a fantastically knowledgeable guide. The canoe ride through the canals in the dark was peaceful and evocative. Sunrise on the chinampas was a treat. Breakfast was great. The introduction to their efforts at sustainable farming on their plot was interesting and impressive. Coming back through the massive numbers of soccer players was like returning back to the city from a different, earlier time.

thanks a lot for your comment
Wonderful experience and great guide
100% recommend
You start in the last moments of night, observing stars and moon. Float down the river and meet dawn. Then following to cute farm with tasty breakfast.
