The activity was great, we had the right time to do everything (visiting the ruins, having lunch and finally floating in the river). Shoutout to our guide Joseline who was extremely knowledgeable, nice and helpful with any needs we had! The organisation was impeccable and we liked a lot that the tour has a pickup option cause if you’re staying close to Tulum beach it can be tricky to reach the city centre.

It was a true adventure outside of the touristic paths of Tulum. We were the only group (7 people, so also a nice small group size) floating in the canal. Just nature and floating. The guide was very knowledgeable as well and had many interesting facts about the animals and plants. Before entering the boats to drive back to shore we saw a baby crocodile in a tree - amazing!

Full description

Explore the ancient Mayan ruins of TULUM and the Sian Kaan Nature Reserve on a half-day tour from Tulum. After being picked up from Tulum you will first visit TULUM ruins, then have a delicious Mexican lunch and then be transferred to the Sian Kaan Nature Reserve. Walk through this inspiring reserve and gaze out at an unblemished jungle. Next, float and swim down through the canals between mangroves and gently make your way back out into the crystal-clear waters around the peninsula. Experience the very best of this region. The food, the culture, the nature, and a bit of relaxation in the water make this a perfect half day trip.
