Explore the wetlands of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in a beautiful and environmentally respectful journey.
Meet your guide and group at the dock (3.5km inside the reserve) where the kayaks are waiting to start the adventure. We are very lucky to have Sian Ka’an completely to ourselves once we get on the water.
We kayak in sit-inside kayaks (tandem or single) for about three hours in the calm waters of the mangrove mazes and open lagoons. You will have an incredible journey full of wildlife and each day a unique breathtaking sunset, plus the most passionate and knowledgeable guides.
Starting times vary seasonally, as the entire adventure is accommodated around the sunset and to avoid the peak heat hours.
