Amazing Sunset in Sian Ka’an

We had an excellent experience in the sunset tour. Our tour guide, Marco, and driver, Arturo, were outstanding! We saw manatees, crocodiles, and plenty of birds. The sunset views and seeing the birds coming home are memories we’ll never forget.

Relaxing boat tour

Our tour was amazing. We loved it so much. Was one of our best vacation days ever. The food that was prepared was so fresh and delicious. Ample portions and very thoughtful combination of food. Eating on the beach was beautiful and peaceful. The boat tour was everything we could have wanted with a mix of birds, reptiles and mammals. The boat captain was accommodating at directing the boat toward whichever bird that we spotted. Emiliano was a wonderful guide, friendly and full of information about nature, environment, culture, history and local details.
