Once we reach the Muyil lagoon, we take a boat across two lagoons connected by an artificial canal that has been in use for many centuries. Xlapak is the name of the building at the beginning of the lazy river and the start of an incredible floating experience in crystal clear pluvial water on its way to the Caribbean Sea. We float for over 30 minutes surrounded by mangroves, orchids, bromeliads and cacti while we hear the sounds of nature.

Great time exploring Tulum and Si'an Khan. - We had an awesome time on our tour. Lea, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and spoke four languages. We learned a lot about the the region. They also took us to an awesome taco place in Tulum with the help from our great driver, Ernesto. Perfect amount of time at each location and arrived back at the our hotel a few hours before dinner. Highly recommended.

The bike ride to the... - The bike ride to the ruins was very fun to do with the group. We enjoyed seeing the cenotes. The zip line tour was also lots of fun.

Amazing Tour with an AMAZING GUIDE! - This tour was amazing and my guide Luigi was absolutely amazing and so kind! For the first half of the tour it was just Luigi and I and he took his time and was very informative as we walked through the archeological site. The site itself is stunning and Luigi took the best pictures of me.
Then lunch - literally the best tacos I've had ever! There were lots of options and other choices as well.
Muyil/Sian Khan was literally relaxation paradise. That lazy river was so peaceful and calm and the speedboat ride was just refreshing with a spectacular breeze. Luigi made sure everyone felt comfortable (especially non swimmers like me). You do get life jackets and the water is shallow enough to walk at certain points so don’t shy away if you can’t swim.
Overall this tour is amazing I highly recommend! Thank you Luigi for being an amazing guide and person as well!

Amazing day - The shuttle was on time at our accommodation, we were a small group of 4! Cris and Léa were amazing, they passed on their knowledge with passion. We have been informed a lot about nature conservation. No rush, we waited at each location for the animals to appear and we could see dolphins, crocs, rabbits and many more! The meal was also delicious.
A day without taking a head, just following the movement was really nice!

Best lazy river experience! Bucket list worthy! - Paloma (guide) and Gniberto (driver) were very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of tulum. All of our crazy questions were answered and they even stopped so we could enjoy some cold coconut water. Highly recommend this tour as the lazy river was out of this world!! What a wonderful experience and a great way to end our vacation!

Wonderful Trip! What a fantastic experience - What an amazing tour! Alondra was fantastic and really knowledgeable about everything we visited. She was so kind when I got a little scared in the water and helped me feel confident so that I can fully enjoy the experience. One of our favourite memories of our trip here. Thank you to Alondra for making it so special for us to remember :)

Great excursion - My family and I booked this tour on our recent vacation. We were staying at a hotel in downtown Tulum and the bus picked us up promptly from the front of the hotel. Our driver for the day was Axel and our tour guide was Paloma. They were fantastic!
Our first stop of the day was the Tulum Archaeological Site. Paloma was very knowledgeable about the history of the Mayans and the culture. We found the tour to be interesting and learned a lot. Paloma advised us before the tour started — make sure to bring lots of water in a reusable bottle, a hat and sunscreen. Great advice because it was exceptionally hot!
After the tour of the ruins, Axel drove us to a local restaurant for lunch. It was delicious!
The final stop (and by far our favorite) was at Sian Ka’an. What an adventure! The boat ride through the mangroves was amazing. Paloma gave us more insights into the Mayans and the area as we floated down the canal. The current is strong and just pushes you along. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The water felt amazing and definitely cooled us down.
In our way back to town, Paloma gave us lots of recommendations for nearby restaurants we should try, which we appreciated.
Overall, it was a great excursion!

Fun tour - Nice tour, but we didn't get to visit the Sian Ka'an due to protestors near the tour area. The tour guide quickly offered a trip to a lagoon as a substitute, which was pretty amazing. Would like to go back to Tulum to visit Sian Ka'an Muyil.
