        Great day trip from Tulum
        Amazing tour through the ruins, town, and Cenote! The tour itself is awesome, but it was made 100x better thanks to our tour guide, Iger! Super knowledgeable about everything from the local history to the food and kept the whole trip entertaining.

        This was a 10/10 experience. It went above and beyond my expectations. Great people, great food and amazing experiences
        Chichén Itzá was incredible. It completely blew my mind! Seeing one of the Wonder of the World can only have that effect. The sheer size of the buildings and the all the history was great to experience. Valladolid was a beautiful colonial city and fun to visit. The cenote we went to at the end was nothing less than magical. Alondra, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and so much fun! Arturo the driver made sure we got there and home safely. We laughed the whole day! Highly recommend!

        Experience with Kenia
        Kenia is an amazing guide; you can feel her passion and love for animals and the environment through her sharing. We had a really great time snorkeling and exploring the Cenote today. Extremely fun experience!

        Iber was our guide and was outstanding- punctual, great conversational English, knowledgeable, safe, and a true professional. We are very experienced travelers and this expedition was great because it gave us unique experiences we’ve never had in our lives. If you book this trip (and you should) ask for Iber!

        Family Experience with Great Tour Guide
        The whole tour from start to finish was amazing. When we went to the Tulum Ruins, the views and ruins were amazing, the tour guide “Alondra” gave us so much interesting information about the Mayan Ruins. Her information was that interesting that ,our youngest child (age 11) who is learning about the mayans remembered everything she had said and told his whole class about it when we got home. The 3 Cenotes was an amazing experience for the whole family. The water was so clear and magical snorkelling you could see down to the bottom. The Traditional Mayan meal was delicious there was something for everyone to eat: rice, meat, carrot, cucumber and more.

        Wonderful experience !
        We did an AMAZING snorkeling and cenote tour with Ursula. Plenty of beautiful fish and the cenote tour was amazing to see. Our tour guide, Ursula, was super knowledgeable, polite and shared information about the different birds, animals and Mayan culture. After learning so much in a few hours, we would have loved to book another tour however time didn't permit. We would love to come back and tour with Ursula again! Till next time!

        Great tour with Cesar
        My husband and I took this tour with Cesar specifically and because of him we had a great time. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and even willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone in the group got the experience they wanted, even in the rain. We felt safe and taken care of the whole time, I would highly recommend this tour with Cesar specifically.

        Our Best Day in Tulum: Thanks Lea and Arturo!
        This was our favorite day so far in Tulum! The visit to Chichen Itza and Valladolid was very interesting and enjoyable, and to end it all with a visit to a beautiful cenote for a refreshing dip was amazing. We can't thank our tour guide Lea and our driver Arturo enough for the day. The pick-up was on time and the transportation vehicle (toyota hiace) was very comfortable with AC. Lea, our tour guide, was amazing and spoke 4 different languages (SPA, FR, EN, German). The information she gave us about the region on the way to our visit was very interesting. We would recommend this tour to anyone. We visited as a couple and were with 5 other people in this trip. Good amount of people!

        Unforgettable Cenote Adventure with a Fantastic Guide!
        We had an amazing experience exploring three stunning cenotes on this tour. Each one had its own unique charm, and we loved the variety. Our guide, Marko, was fantastic — super knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to answer our questions. He shared so many interesting facts, which really added to the experience. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was well-organized, and we felt taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to discover the beauty of cenotes with a great guide and some tasty food!

        Fun all day tour from Tulum
        Very enjoyable tour! Alondra is a fun tour guides! I enjoyed the Mayan history she presented at Chichen Itza. It was interesting and informative. Lunch at Meson Del Marques was the best meal we've had since arriving. The best part was swimming in the Cenote Xux Ha. It was not crowded and was very beautiful. Overall, well worth the fee.

        Perfect day!
        Miguel and Lea were excellent guides - organized, extremely knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to preserving and sharing the beautiful biosphere. The trip was great and definitely something my husband and I could not do on our own. Highlight for me was seeing male frigate birds in mating mode with their big orange pouches puffed out. Miguel and Lea divided the group according to native language so we spent most of the time with Miguel and he was the best guide we had during out stay in Mexico. Highly recommend this trip!

        Great Guide, Great Vibes.
        We had a great experience with Ursula showing us the best place to snorkle! It was amazing to hear the knowledge that Ursula and Daniel had to share about local issues and culture. In the tour we eventually went into a cavern where we swam through underground to find a special swimming area that felt so special since it was just our group there. I have pretty high expectations as a traveler but I would highly recommend taking this adventure.

      Alondra our guide was wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to all our group’s needs. It was a lot of time on very calm water. Our Mayan boat captain not only operated the boat expertly but instinctively spotted every living creature we saw from many, many birds to crocodiles and manatees. Our driver Aurelio navigated the bumpy roads with great skill. Our lunch with our fellow international travelers was very good in a beautiful location next to center and lagoon. I recommend this trip if you want to see nature and a great example of Mexicans preserving this unique mangrove ecosystem for the future of all.

      Our Guide was Alonso who picked us up right on time at our hotel. We had a nice and instantly relaxed conversation on our way to pick up some other guests. The Trip was really great. At first we visited the mayan ruines. Alonso told us many things about the mayan culture and the ruins of tulum. After that we had a tasty lunch in tulum at a local Restaurant where our Guide made a reservation for the group. Tasty food and a real local vibe which we glady enjoyed away from the overcrowded touristic Beachfront area. After that we drove to Sian ka. We jumped in „speedboots“ and enjoyed the ride after that we jumped in the water and floated threw the „canals“ of Sian Ka…which was a really great experience! We would always choose Alonso as our Guide again. All the Best , Marvin

      Our second trip with Mexico Kan Tours and it was every bit as wonderful as the first. Pick up at our agreed location was punctual and were driven to Sian Ka’an by Adam in a lovely cool van, stopping enroute to collect our guide, Nikita, and 2 other members of our party. Because the groups are small these tours feel friendly and welcoming with Nikita spending time chatting and getting to know us.

      The biosphere is incredible. The rural, unspoilt scenery is full of wildlife with something to look at in every direction. The trip was absolutely enhanced by the passion, knowledge and enthusiasm Nikita has for the area. In conjunction with Capitan Obet they drew our attention to a myriad of plants, trees, birds - including pelicans, herons, an osprey nest and vultures. In addition to this we saw a very large crocodile in the mangroves and the highlight of the trip was watching 5 beautiful, gentle and inquisitive manatees in their natural setting - around a cenote in the brackish water!

      Back on dry land we ate the most delicious fresh fish in a small restaurant overlooking the turquoise blue Caribbean Sea. As it was very windy we were unable to go snorkelling in the reef, however Nikita took us to a beautiful cenote for a swim and cool down which again was in a small and more intimate setting.
      We have had another fabulous day with this tour company which was made all the more enjoyable by being in the company of our relaxed, informative and enthusiastic guide, Nikita. Nikita was also kind enough to also send us in some photos she had taken from the area.

      We would all highly recommend this tour company, and this tour, if you enjoy the outdoors and natures bounty!

      We had a great experience with our amazing tour guide Ursula! Not only did they pick us so in your Hotel in Tulum precisely on Time 😉 but the tour was filled with interesting details about Sian Ka’An and Mexico in general. On the Lagoon we saw Mantee, Cocodiles and all kinds of birds - and Ursula had a bucket full of insights to all of them! Tour finished at a relaxin Cenote with Vegi-Tacos that stood out of the typical “you also get lunch on this tour”-food. Really delicious. Absolute recommendation. It is on the expensive side for a 6-hour-tour but you’re almost alone on the lagoon - probably a benefit of the tour being relatively costly.

      We had a pickup at Playacar hotelzone at 06.00 a.m. Took one hour to Tulum were we met Lea our Tourguide. She is Spanish, French , German and English speaking charming lady. Her roots are in Germany. She took us after one more 30 minutes ride to Sian Kaan reservat with totally only 6 guests. There we stopped at a nice beach restaurant. Now we jumped on a boat and explore the mangroves area nearby. We discovered crocs, manatees, rays and a various number of birds. Made a stop were brackish and saltwater meets at a beautiful, sandy beach. After 2,5 hours boat riding we returned to the typical and lovely beach restaurant surrounded by jungle with a wonderful seaview. There we had lunch, which was very good. The entrance fee for the parc, water in the car, lunch and one softdrink were included. Extra charge 10 US Dollars p.P. for the pickup in Playa del Carmen. At around 3. p.m. our trip ended at our beach resort in PdC. We can recommend the trip especially because of Lea. Always with a smile on a her face, and for main reason, she knows a lot of the wildlife and plants in Sian Kaan. We had fun. Danke Lea.

      Outstanding trip!
      We were picked up from the hotel on time, which was possible for a small additional charge. Our hotel was outside of Cancun and Tulum.
      After a great tour through the jungle and some excavation sites (great explanations of fauna and flora, history and present, as well as some anecdotes of mythology), there was a very authentic meal to choose from at a small local restaurant. Very tasty. Then the highlight: a boat tour and drifting through the mangrove forests. If you are in Yucatan, a must!!
      All in all, really recommended.

      Our excellent guide Luigi took us on a tour that was divided into two parts with a break for lunch at a local, authentic restaurant. They had vegetarian options as well (mushrooms). This was a highlight not only for the food but also because we met the cutest kitten named Pikachu who had a voracious appetite and was so playful.

      The first part was at the Muyil Ruins followed with lunch and then floating between the mangroves in the Sian Ka’an Bioreserve. Luigi was so passionate and informative that we were enraptured with every word. If you can request a guide, I’d recommend him!

      I just completed my fourth tour with Mexico Kan Tours and I just want to say the guides are always great! So friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Floating in the lazy river was my absolute fave, but all of the Sian Kaan ones are A+++.

      Our guide Luigi was super knowledgable about the birds in the mangrove. We saw lots of roseate spoonbills, herons, and a family of ospreys, as well as a family of manatees and two American crocodiles. Our boat captain Obet was also fantastic.

      I appreciate Mexico Kan's focus on protecting the environment and supporting small Indigenous businesses. I appreciate that they always provide bananas and (homemade?) granola bars. And I appreciate the way guides are able to accommodate people of different ages, abilities, and languages.

      Luigi was able to translate effortlessly between English, Spanish, and Italian (as Oscar also did). He also helped me greatly with the snorkeling activity, as I am not a great swimmer. Can't recommend him enough!

      We had an amazing tour with Macarena and Gualberto! It was the perfect way to see wildlife in Sian Ka' an in a couple hours. We saw manatees, herons, crocodiles, and fish in the reef. Our guide was very fun and knowledgeable. She made sure everyone was included and had time to capture pictures of the memories they were making. Our captain on the boat had eagle eyes in the lagoon and was able to spot and call out wildlife for us. The timing was perfect too because we had the rest of the day to regroup. Highly recommend this tour!

      I had an incredible day exploring the San Kai Reserve in Tulum during a full-day excursion that included a delicious lunch in a charming fishing village. The food was amazing, with plenty of options to satisfy everyone—definitely a highlight!

      The experience felt like stepping into another world. We were lucky to spot so many animals and marvel at the stunning flora and fauna of the reserve. Truly a magical place!

      But what made the day even more special were the incredible staff. A huge thank you to our driver Axel and our guides Léa and Oscar. Axel handled the famously bumpy "massage road" like a pro—what a champion! And Léa and Oscar brought so much good energy and sharp eyes, spotting wildlife we would have never noticed on our own.

      If you're considering this excursion, don't hesitate. It's a must-do, and the team will ensure you have an unforgettable experience.
