We had a wonderful tour of the ruins and then floated down a beautiful canal. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

We had an amazing tour with Oscar. He was so knowledgable about the ruins and clearly loved the outdoors and nature in Mexico, and was excited to share his knowledge with us. He picked us up and offered us a beverage on the short ride to the ruins, then toured us through the beautiful ruins of Sian Kaan. After the ruins, it was another quick yet bumpy ride out to the lagoon. The ride across the lagoon was magical and beautiful, and we saw so many different kinds of birds -- osprey, herons, egrets, vultures. Floating down the canals was the coolest experience. It was amazing to be going down the same path the ancient Mayans took, and it was so beautiful to be surrounded by the mangroves. We would definitely recommend!

This was such an awesome trip! One of my highlights from our trip. Our guide picked us up at our hotels and tooks us off to the jungle to explore some ruins, then we headed to the canals. The water was really warm and the current really moved you along. The captain of our boat was a real expert and gave us a little thrill by expertly speeding through the narrow canals, overall it was a ton of fun!

One of the best tours I have been on. Mostly in part to our guide Victoria! She was very knowledgeable and a blast to be on the tour with! I would highly recommend this tour. I know that when I return I will be requesting Victoria for my next tour as there are so many others. She went out of her way to retrieve my sunglasses after I dropped them in the river after jumping in. Note: hold your glasses when you jump in so you don't lose them off your face. The river float was amazing. If there is anything to complain about it's that it was too short! I could have floated much longer it was so peaceful. Thank you Victoria!!

You HAVE to do this trip!!!!!! And be prepared to want to do more trips with these guys if you do. We were so impressed with the professionalism and passion of their guides and how personable they are. You will laugh, learn and experience the grandeur of the natural world while quietly strolling through the jungle and comfortably floating in the tranquil waters of the biosphere.
Don't book a trip with anyone else...it is so worth having a private guide all to yourself.
