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.

Magical creatures

To watch beautiful animals living in their natural environment is very touching. Sian Ka’an is a holy place that must be protected to ensure that the magical creatures will be always there.

Great day in Sian Ka’an!
Ryan_R

Luigi was an excellent guide and so knowledgeable about Sian Ka’an, and Captain Oscar deftly navigated the biosphere while showing us it’s natural beauty. Snorkeling over the reef by Cayo Culebra was great, and we saw a nurse shark and a green moray. Lunch in Punta Allen was delicious. Would do again!

This tour alone is worth coming to Mexico! I included pick up and drop of from my hotel in Cancun. The driver , Tevario, was on time, friendly, a great driver, the car was clean and we had the best conversation. In the morning once we arrived at the meeting point in Tulum the tour started on time and we got to meet our wonderful tour guide Luigi. Luigi patiently explained all things nature to us throughout the day, he kept it light, relaxed, and fun! The biosphere is breathtaking! It is a relatively untouched part of the planet and for most of the day our group of eight were the only ones on the water. The boat ride was at times calm and slow and at other time we hit some bumpy water, but it’s nature after all and to be expected and with a little humor also enjoyable! We spent plenty of time in the water snorkeling (though it’s never really enough when you love being in the water). Punta Allen - the lunch spot. I wanted to stay and never go back home. I’ve never experienced a more relaxed and beautifully remote place and I’ve seen many in the world. White sand & turquoise water, nothing else needed. The food (I’m vegetarian) was the best meal I’ve had during my time here. Now what matters most to many the animals - Mother Nature was kind to us... Manatees, dolphins, turtles, barracuda, stingray, many birds and coolest of all a nurse shark! To Luigi and the entire crew - thank you- don’t change a thing! I’ll forever remember this as one of my favorite days!

Word of Caution
Rita
, May 2021
Word of caution to others - not a trip for persons with back problems. The boat ride can be fast and choppy. Persons may have a backache the next day. HEADS UP to future travelers- what could be improved is the boat could pick up persons at the restaurant in Puenta Allen. Just like other boats and tour companies. This was not told to us. We carried too much heavy stuff. BOAT iS WAITING ON OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND!!! The 10 min village walk is mandatory as it is the only way back to your boat. Hot 2 pm sun, no shade, heavy bags, persons may have a HEAT STROKE. Worse part of the entire trip is this brief 10 min walk. Most memorable was sighting a manatee! We saw dolphins, crocs, birds. Lunch was delicious at Punta Allen. We had an enjoyable time exploring Sian Ka

HI Rita, Thank you for taking the time to write your comments. Customer satisfaction is very important to us. We happy to read you had a great time overall however we are sorry to hear about your back. The biosphere of Sian Ka`an is characterized by 70% of water, and the best way to visit it is therefore by boat which allows us to go places we cannot possibly go to by van and encounter much wildlife as you saw. For this reason, this tour is centered around being on a boat most of the day, and the ride is definitely influenced by the state of the sea. Our personalized attention mean we place a lot of attention on the comfort of our customers, however it remains up to the traveler`s own judgment knowing the contents of the tour and bearing in mind prior physical conditions, whether to participate in this boat activity or not. In the event of really bad weather, be assured we do cancel the tour for security purposes. We specifically choose to start the boat ride as early on as possible once entering the reserve, as the state of the road is definitely worst. With regards to the walk in Punta Allen, part of what travelers hope to see on this tour is an insight into a local fisherman village life. This is the Caribbean, and the month of April and May are some of the hottest of the year. Whilst we are not in a capacity to do anything about the heat, we do recommend our customers to always cover up, bring a hat and drink a lot to endure this short walk.

A Very Special Experience
Grace_S
, Apr 2021
My boyfriend Jesse and I joined this tour guided by Ursula. We got to see dolphins, manatees, exotic birds and sea turtles. Ursula and the boat captains all showed their devotion to the biosphere by providing a very respectful environment not just for us humans, but for the inhabitants. The entire tour was great! We got to snorkel, swim, and enjoy a delicious lunch in Punta Allen. Ursula is not only a knowledgeable tour guide but a well rounded individual who LOVES what she does. "The animals will only come out if they feel we are deserving." We got to see everything on our itinerary. Even though we got to experience some rain, the sun showed up shortly after. Jesse and I had a wonderful time. 10/10 recommend the tour with Ursula!
