Wonderful Experience

Highly recommend this wonderful experience. Antonio and Ernesto are knowledgeable guides. We spent 3 hours padding through the mangroves learning abut the different birds and animals and then fished the trip awed by a beautiful sunset.

Ricardo was a great guide...

What an incredible, surreal experience! This is unlike any place you’ve been on this planet- you’ll kayak through the shallow lagoon, through bird-filled mangroves as your unbelievably knowledgeable guide educates on aquatic species beneath you. This is truly an unforgettable journey. I recommend reef-safe bug spray for twilight hour

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much Audrey, Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve is quite a unique place in this world and deserves to be put a side for conservation. Thanks to low impact kayakers like yourself that are willing to go slowly among the mangroves, we get to learn a little bit more every day to share with more explorers… Welcome back any time so we can keep studying about the behavior of its flora and fauna. Gracias amigos , see You soon !
