About this experience
Your own boat, your own pace and one of the wildest lagoons in Mexico all to yourselves.
This private 3-hour lagoon tour is made for travelers with a car who want real nature without giving up a full day. Drive 45-60 minutes south of Tulum into the Sian Ka'an Biosphere, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and meet us just before the Boca Paila bridge. From there, a local captain-guide (English or Spanish) takes only your group, up to 6 guests, through calm mangrove channels and crystal-clear lagoons.
What you can spot:
- Wild manatees gliding near the boat
- Crocodiles sunbathing on the banks
- Ospreys, herons and migratory birds
Back on land, a traditional lunch is waiting: grilled fish, grilled chicken, chicken fajitas or a vegetarian option, with a soda.
Departures at 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Private, quiet and unforgettable. Book your boat now.
