Fantastic day on the waters!
Christina_K

We had the best time with Gala and Ursula on our trip in January 2022. Everything was perfect from start to end, from the safe transportation, the boat driver’s good eyes for spotting animals and Gala’s passion and knowledge about wildlife and the nature to Ursula’s good management of the trip. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see the real Quintana Roo!

Baby animals !!!!

We were able to see all the animals and babies. It was so exciting. We had a great time and would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tulum. The last 45 minutes do suck, warning. The road is bumping and you had to go super slow the entire time. Karen was our guide. She was wonderful and loved seeing the animals as much as guests.

Karen was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide that she made the tour absolutely worth it! We had Tony as our boat captain who was a master navigator and helped us see some amazing animals. The lunch was actually delicious and the entire day felt efficient and timed well.

A nice tour with a poor explanation
Mara_J
, Nov 2021
I was really excited about this tour from past reviews of the wonderful guide they had, apparently her is Karen. Unfortunately she wasn’t on duty and all we had was Nico, he’s a good guy but not a biologist giving you the proper explanation of the 3rd biggest reserve in Mexico, he’s lack of knowledge and lack of pro activity made that $171 USD per person look like a robbery. Explained in his his words “we are here to see 4 animals, 2 of them never showed up” a quick view to a little book about the size of a manatí and basically that was it. The place is beautiful, a really long boat ride and the lunch is ok, but no information about the national park :(

A Fun and Enriching Experience!
Jeffrey_V
, Oct 2021
The most memorable parts of this experience were the opportunities we had to see wildlife in its natural habitat. Our guide Luigi was very adept at identifying various species of crocodile, bird, fish. His information helped us appreciate the importance of the biodiversity in Sian Ka’an. He has the talent of an educator. He was able to speak in detail extemporaneously about various species as they randomly appeared in the areas we explored. He also took the tome to give each participant attention so that everyone was engaged in the tour from start to finish. We learned a good deal about the nature of the Yucatán peninsula that we did not already know. This made the tour a valuable experience for us. We highly recommend this tour!

Thank you very much for your comments and for the 5 stars, the Sian Ka'an tour helps us to know a part of Tulum and to see the animals in their habitat, on the other hand our guide Luigi knows and loves his work. Thank you very much for recommending us, we are happy to have exceeded your expectations and to have created memories of this great tour. We hope to see you next time! Mexico Kan Tours Team

Great tour and Luigi was awesome!
Taylor_V
, Sep 2021
The morning started off with us being picked up directly from our air bnb in Tulum and the communication up to this point was exceptional. We drove a bit until we boarded their boats and headed out through the biosphere where we saw three crocodiles, manatees, and lot of birds. Our guide, Luigi was an incredible guide and made everything very interesting. My wife and I could tell he loved his job and wanted to make sure we were all learning and having a good experience. Once we were done there, we set off in search of dolphins, which we were unable to find on our tour unfortunately. I could tell that our guide and caption were doing all they could to find them, but ended up moving on with the tour. After this we went to a snorkeling spot, which was my favorite part of the trip. We saw thousands of fish and turtles, which was spectacular. Later, we stopped at a beach to relax for about thirty minutes and then had lunch on the peninsula. This was the end of the tour and we headed back to the dock. My only suggestion about this tour would be to allocate more time for snorkeling. The reef they took us to was amazing and I would have liked to explore more.
