Excellent tour, the canyon is amazing and we saw monkeys and crocodiles. The English guide was amazing and made the tour for us. Highly recommended

We had a great experience, other than the boat driver was driving the boat erratic (swaying back and forth) to please some of the guests. He was however very knowledgeable about the canyon.

We booked the 6 h tour without the viewpoints (miradores) but found ourselves on a 10 h tour with miradores which was not clear to us in the beginning. If you are staying in San Cristobal book the tour at one of the many tour companies von the street "Real de Guadeloupe", it only costs half of the price here, which means 600 MXN = 30 €. The canyon is absolutely amazing. I would always do the boat trip again. Chiapas is nice. A stay of 1-2 h is sufficient.

We really enjoyed the day trip. Our guide was fantastic and filled us in on the history, culture and legends of the Canyon and area. Cruising through the Canyon was stunning . We saw crocodiles , cormorants, heron, vultures, spider monkeys and more. The Canyon itself is breathtaking. We also saw a waterfall , bird island and dam. Then we went to the quaint pretty town of Chiapas de corzo were our host took us to a tasty restaurant for lunch. Then we drove back up the mountain to get gorgeous birds eye views of the river we had just sailed on. This is a must-see, essential tour.

Save money and just pick the Spanish version even if you only speak English… We picked the English version, but our guide was late so he first joined after the boat ride and he did not add ANY value at Chiapa de Corzo as he just sat in the restaurant and ate instead of walking with us in the city, and when we asked what he would recommend us to see while he were there he just said the main square. So just use Google and save some money

We really enjoyed the boat trip to Sumidero Canyon, it was so magic and relaxing to be in such a beautiful natural landscape! Our guide , Jonathan is very knowledgeable about the culture and history of his country and he did make a very good translation through the boat tour! It was nice visiting Chiapa de Corzo, just getting around the central square and having a delicious lunch , though in a crowded local restaurant. The only disadvantage was the price of the tour, a little overestimated because of our guide in English.

The experience was wonderful and safe, picking up/drop off guest was good
Grouping by language was good

Great tour, guide Eduardo was very friendly. We did share a boat with a group that wasn’t on our tour which we found a little confusing but It didn’t affect our enjoyment. Just

The night before our tour we were notified of a rock slide in the canyon and thus the boats would not be running. We were given the option of rescheduling or still doing the tour, but with sightseeing of the Canyon. We decided on the sight seeing since we already had plans for other days.
The sightseeing was fun, got good pictures of the upper portion on the canyon and our guides were very nice and knew very good english. We were a small group so the right up there was pretty enjoyable.
After the sightseeing we went to the town and they gave us the option of eating at a couple different places. The restaurant was good. Afterwards we walked around town a bit, but decided that maybe we would want to go home around 3:30. It was at this point that the tour guides went above and beyond. They told us that the boats began operating again and that we could catch the boat ride if we wanted. All but one agreed and so we quickly rushed down to catch a boat.
We made it just in time! The canyon is absolutely beautiful and the boat operators would stop for us to view wildlife like iguanas, monkeys and crocodiles. The boat operators do this portion of the tour and it is in spanish, but it is not needed in order to appreciate the beauty of the canyon.

Tour guide and driver were very charming and kindly offered to take us on the river trip at the end of the day as it was cancelled in the morning due to rock fall. This added at least 2 hours to their working day. Very kind of them and much appreciated
