Tour guide, Ro, was really great! The kayaks were fun and it was a nice, calming experience. It was just my girlfriend and I and him and we had an amazing time. He was knowledgeable, easy-going, and fun to talk to. He was helpful and suggestive about the food and the area around our hotel which helped us find some really great tacos. He has different kinds of tours he offers and we would definitely book with him again. You will not regret a tour you book with Ro.

Never Book The Guided Kayak Excursion

Chris_H, Mar 2024

We ended up wasting an entire morning waiting for these unprofessional people to "no show". We had tried to contact them 3 days straight using the phone number provided by Viator, and they never, ever returned our call. These is a highly unprofessional outfit that should be avoided at all costs. They charged our credit card already, but we have logged a dispute with our credit card company. Viator offered nothing in return for the entire morning wasted.

No show. Don't recommend.

Christine_K, Jan 2024

Booked appointment and was completely ghosted by the host the day before. Had to submit a refund request with Viator to get my money back.

Kayaking in the lagoon with Jorge

Janet_J, May 2023

I really enjoyed seeing the wildlife, birds and fish mainly. My guide Jorge was quite knowledgeable and identified the novel sightings (for me!) of several bird species. The water was beautiful!

Great tour. Guide was...

Patricia_E, Apr 2023

Great tour. Guide was helpful and very informative. Moved at a comfortable pace and I learn a lot about the area!

Was very nice the guide...

ilia_p, Apr 2023

Was very nice the guide is super friendly and he looks like Pedro Pascal :) We had a nice tour in the morning, just be prepared that kayaking is not that easy , you will need to work with your hands and sit 2 hours in the particular pose.

Nice trip

Gretchen_H, Feb 2023

We had a fun time on this kayaking trip. It was a 2 hour trip. George was very patient with beginning kayakers. We were asked to choose a time slot a few days before our kayak trip. We asked to pay more to get transported as advertised in the description for this excursion, and was told maybe, but nobody got back with us so we ended up taking a taxi. No big deal, but that's what happened. We like to do activities that are a little bit off the beaten path and exercise related. So this hit both things we were looking for. Not as much variety in plants and birds as I had expected, but that's not the fault of the tour - they can only work with what is naturally available. I liked the mangroves, water and scenery. Nice tour.

Overall a worthwhile experience.

Khalid_F, Feb 2023

Our kayak guide George was very knowledgeable, courteous and patient with us first time kayakers. Overall a pleasant experience although we didn’t see much of the birds and marine life as advertised.

100% Chill

Domenica_C, Jul 2022

The most chill activity in Cancun with the most chill guide in Cancun. Would definitely book again !

Beautiful and Amazing!!

Bonni_S, Apr 2022

Kayaking in the lagoon was absolutely AMAZING! Rodrigo (Ro) was the absolute best! We took our 12 and 13 year old kids and Ro was very accommodating and made them feel safe and comfortable the entire time! We felt so comfortable with Ro that we actually booked another fun day with him! Ro, you are an amazing person, we thank you so much for an amazing time! We will never forget and will pass along your info to friends and family who come to Cancun! We miss you friend! Until we meet again!

Best Kayaking adventure in Cancun

Jeff_S, Apr 2022

Rio was amazing. He helped get everyone on the water and kept us informed of where we were going. He pointed out birds, starfish, and a stingray. He was fun and friendly. The kayaks were in good shape, comfortable and easy to control. Best Kayaking adventure ever!!

Peaceful nature getaway on quiet Waters

Edward_O, Mar 2022

My wife and I went with Rodrigo and just one other person. So we felt like we had a very personalized experience. Rodrigo did a great job pointing out the features of the marina and the shoreline and explained the ecology of the mangrove Islands. A very fun and peaceful experience overall.

Just Great

Ivan_K, Feb 2022

Great expirence for our last day in Cancun. Nice relaxing ride tru canals. We saw few fishes, starfishes, iguanas and birds. We had morning excursion (8:00)

Best Kayak tour in Cancun

Janine_M, Feb 2022

We enjoyed the tour. It was a small group and the guide was great. We can asked many questions and he gave us many information. Beautiful nature and a really good tour.

Excellent tour of the mangroves!

Monica_M, Jan 2022

we LOVED this tour! Ro and his gorgeous wife were the best tour guides, calm, knowledgable and handled our extremely mixed bag of kayaking abilities so well (2 of us kept going in circles haha) Kayaking through the mangroves really does take you to another world totally apart from Cancun itself, and it was beautiful to see the birds skimming along the water. Stopping at the island was great for tired arms and they were more than happy to take pics of us all. We also all got complimentary drinks at the bar next to the marina when it was over! 100% recommend.

A perfect morning!

Megan_M, Jan 2022

Rodrigo was a wonderful guide. We learned about local flora and fauna, kayaked to a beautiful island. It was so lovely to see a part of Cancun other than the beaches and party scene.

Great scenic and relaxing tour

Denise_D, Dec 2021

Our guide, Ro, was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about the area’s flora and fauna, especially the birds and fish. Since there were just the two of us on the tour, it was very personalized and he answered all of our questions. Ro made sure to pause at all of the interesting parts of the tour and went at an easy and relaxing pace for two people in their sixties. We highly recommend him and the tour!

Nice Experience

Karim_L, Sep 2021

Nice experience. Excellent instructor for beginners. The kayak trip was about 3 hours. Beautiful landscapes
