Beautiful mangroves - Beautiful relaxing trip, great guides that picked us up promptly at our hotel and were informative kayaking through beautiful mangroves. We saw flamingos, crocodiles, and all sorts of bird life. A great experience. Be prepared for bugs.

What a way to start Christmas day! - What an incredible experience, starting in the dark with just the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise over the Yum Balam nature reserve. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable but also very respectful of the environment (not as loud and chatty as some others whose groups probably saw much less as a result). It felt like we were out for hours and hours, but the kayaking wasn't tiring. The whole experience was tranquil, and the beauty of the place truly awe-inspiring. Highly recommended.

Excellent excursion to enjoy nature. - We did the excursion at 6 am with Juan Carlos to enjoy the sunrise. We were lucky enough to see flamingos, crocodiles, different types of birds and especially enjoy the beautiful sunrise in silence next to the wonders that nature gives us. Recommended 100%

Lovely start of our morning and special experience - We had a great morning tour with Carlos and 4 other persons! We got picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the end of the tour. It was a lovely and tranquil experience on which we saw a lot of bird species and a little bit of a crocodile. Tip! In the morning there are a LOT of mosquitos on the beach where you start. Make sure to give yourself to layers of OFF. 😄🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟 Thanks Carlos & Team! Wish you the best.

Carlos was full of knowledge and nice. Unfortunately we did not know to bring bug spray or wear long sleeves. - The bugs were horrible and description should advise ppl to wear long sleeves and bring bug spray. Carlos was amazing as your guide and full of knowledge. Just suggest you let ppl know to wear long sleeves and bring spray.

Kayak at dawn - We did this tour at dawn. You see a lot of different birds, if you're lucky even crocodiles (we weren't) a little tiring coming back!
