From the moment we pick you up at your accommodation, your unforgettable journey begins. Led by a certified English-speaking guide, you’ll discover one of the most pristine regions of Mexico.

Navigate through mangroves, lagoons, and hidden channels on a scenic boat ride, then enjoy a traditional lunch in the charming coastal village of Punta Allen. This group tour is designed to spend more time exploring by boat and less time on bumpy roads, ensuring a smooth, immersive, and enriching experience.
The day begins early with pick-up directly from your accommodation in the Riviera Maya. Our comfortable transportation takes you along the fastest route to a private dock, minimizing time on unpaved roads and maximizing your comfort. Upon arrival at the heart of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, your boat adventure begins.
Led by your certified English-speaking guide, you’ll board a traditional fisherman’s boat and navigate through an intricate network of coastal lagoons, mangrove forests, and shallow channels. Along the way, you’ll observe an astonishing variety of wildlife—pink spoonbills, herons, frigatebirds, and sometimes even crocodiles and wild dolphins gliding through the water. This protected ecosystem is home to an incredible diversity of species, offering you front-row access to Mexico’s natural beauty.
A highlight of the journey is a stop at Bird Island, a peaceful nesting site for migratory birds, followed by a visit to the open sea, where you may encounter sea turtles, especially the green turtle and loggerhead, in their natural environment. The guide shares stories, ecological facts, and cultural insights throughout the tour, making every moment educational and immersive.
Midday, the tour takes you to Punta Allen, a tranquil fishing village tucked deep within the reserve. Here, you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at a local restaurant, featuring regional flavors and ingredients sourced from the area—simple, authentic, and delicious. It’s a perfect time to relax, recharge, and take in the laid-back coastal charm.
After lunch, the adventure continues with a scenic return boat ride through the stunning reserve. The landscapes are ever-changing, offering new colors and sensations with every turn. Back on land, your transport awaits to bring you comfortably back to your accommodation, your heart full of nature and unforgettable memories.
