Warning to all who book for Sian Kaan - there are multiple sites that sound almost exactly the same and we inadvertently booked for this one and another one. There was no follow up from this operator for two weeks and we thought we were going with the other one. Needless to say, we went with the other one and got charged the FULL price for this one (and the operator was quite detailed to make sure that the we were not at the hotel for him to pick us up). Our bad yes, but follow through on their part or at LEAST a discount for SIX people that they didn't have to do an afternoon for would have helped.

What a beautiful and unique experience! Our guide, Alvaro, was knowledgeable and kind. He shared a lot of information with us and didn’t rush the tour in any way. Not to mention he had cold water and beer to share with us!
I definitely recommend this tour if you’re in Tulum. So glad we made time to see this beautiful place - the Muyli ruins and the Sian Ka’an Reserve are memorable. It was so relaxing and refreshing to float down the lagoon after being in the hot weather. It was wonderful for my teenagers and I heard lots of laughter as they floated together…my husband enjoyed himself too! We are a family of four and this was a great experience for all of us!

This is an amazing experience. Eduardo was an excellent guide-friendly and knowledgeable. The ruins at Muyil are impressive and benefit from being slightly off the tourist track. Eduardo provided us with an interesting background on the Mayan culture and the purpose of the ruins. The boat trip and float on the canal are truly special-a world away from the bustle of Tulum. We saw a great egret and and eagle as well as a pretty flycatcher. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon!

I loved everything about this trip! It was amazing from the start. I stayed in Playa del Carmen and the ride was awesome to Tulum and beyond and into the forest to the area where you get to the canals. So much nature and history just on the way there. Having an amazing guide , Alvaro, definitely helped. Learning all about the area, the Mayans and the histoey. The trees, flowers and birds too. Once to the area where you begin you board a boat and take it to the canals where you float. Talk about the most AMAZING blue colored water. The views are some that you only see in specific places in the world and this is one of them. Once to the dock you get a life jacket and are sent to float. Its the most refreshing cool but not too cold water and at first your in a tunnel of mangrove trees and in the shade. Once again you will come to open areas and it will be so sunny. Knowing the Mayans carved these in B.C. is just amazing to know Ive floated through them! . If your in the area staying at any of the resorts MAKE THIS TRIP A PRIORITY! Totally worth it!
