I would like to take the opportunity to let other people have the real insight in what this company is doing. We took a tour with them a few weeks back, and we were not at all happy with how the tour went. Firstly I have to say that I am a biologist and I work as a reseacher, so... more

This was our first trip to Mexico (Cancun) and we searched for day trip excursions and decided on the Muyil Forest and float tour. It sounded interesting and especially not the typical crowded masses. We were very pleased because it was in fact a very quiet and a non crowded adventure into the jungle. Our guide, Fernando, was impressive and... more

We had a superb day with community tours on their 'muyil forest and float' tour. Alberto, our guide, was very knowledgable and told us many fascinating facts throughout the day. The trip included seeing the archeological site, a walk through the ancient forest, a boat ride across the lagoon, floating down a natural canal with the boat nearby and finally... more

Thank you for the guided tour through the Sian Ka an Biosphere. We were lead by Alberto through a local farm, where I was able to view at least 30 new bird species with his assistance. He is an excellent birder, and boat guide, well rounded with local knowlege of Mayan Culture, Muyil archaelogical site, vegetation, mammals, insects, and herptefauna.... more

We had a great experience w/Antonio as our guide. He was good at spotting and identifying the birds, taking the time to point out distinguishing characteristics of very similar birds. He... more

We had NV set up a tour of Sian Biosphere for us and they recommended community tours. They convinced us to take the Punta Allen tour. The pamplet read like we would drive for a short amount of time then load a boat to reach Punta Allen. Instead, we drove all the way to PA....I would NEVER do that again.... more

Surely one of the best things to do on the Mayan Riviera is to spend a day organized by Community Tours in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere area. Our guide was Alberto Cen Caamal, who is absolutely TOPS in all regards -- charming, local, an extremely knowledgeable naturalist (flora and fauna) and Maya historian, and with near total fluency in English.... more

I've been to dozens of countries and Cancun and the Riviera Maya many times, and I've never encountered a better overall tour experience than Community Tours Sian Ka'an. CTSK is a local business, owned and operated by Mayans living within the World Heritage site of Sian Ka'an. I've taken their tours to Punta Allen and Muyil ("Forest and Float") and... more
