Traveler reviews
An Unforgettable Day of Adventure Wildlife and Culture
This was our second trip with Mexico Kan Tours during our holiday in Tulum and they really are excellent. We love smaller groups of around six people as you get a more personal experience and usually reach the sights before the big coach tours. Our guide Paloma and driver Arelio were brilliant from start to finish. Communication about pickup was spot on and there was iced water in the van to refill bottles. Take a reusable bottle, sun cream, hat and bug spray. Cobá was a highlight. It is a large site in the jungle and you can choose to cycle or take a so called limousine. I cycled while my wife took the easier option. If you choose the limousine, remember to tip your driver. Cobá felt more like a community than Chichén Itzá and you can even climb one of the structures using the new wooden steps. It is a 42 metre climb so take your time. We then headed deeper into the jungle to meet a local wildlife guide. We were lucky to see a family of spider monkeys feeding as we arrived which was really special. Before walking into the jungle we were blessed by the village head which added to the experience. After a short walk we reached the lagoon for a gentle zip line and a canoe paddle. The views were stunning. A quick stop for local gifts followed before we visited a community owned cenote. We had it completely to ourselves. The wildlife, birds and butterflies were beautiful and there were turtles in the water that dive as soon as you get in. To finish the day we visited a local home for fresh home made food and lemonade which was a lovely touch. A brilliant day and the highlight of our holiday. Highly recommended. Thank you Paloma and Arelio.
Great experience in Maya culture
Very beautiful immersive experience with Maya culture and history! The day started with a bike ride through the Maya ruins, then we went to Punta Laguna where we saw a Maya ritual, went zip-lining, and canoeing. It was great! We ended the day by refreshing ourselves in a beautiful cenote with turtles, fish, and bats; it was wonderful. And a typical meal at a small Mayan farm Excellent day with Paloma, a wonderful guide who provided us with plenty of information🌞
Paloma and Hector was amazing
Paloma and Hector was amazing, we get the best experience ever with them a lot of kindness, and knowledge. We appreciated this experience with our guides- we definitely recommend this experience with them
Excursion with the fullest experience possible in a single day! Got the true insider tour!
Physically demanding but worth the work! This was a great day seeing and experiencing Cobá, the monkey preserve and the local people. Our guide was great! Informative, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! We got a sense of the Mayan peoples way of life with delicious homemade lunch and a refreshing cenote swim. Overall the best excursion we had!
Do it!
