Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve
3 hours
Sian Ka’an is a tropical wetland paradise – on this tour we visit a thin strip of land bordered by empty stretches of beach, lagoons and lush vegetation on a boat ride that takes us across diverging coastal ecosystems, through mangrove forest and out to the coral reef.
-
1 hour
8km inside the biosphere, where we board a small boat to visit Boca Paila – a vital point of convergence for many animals, where we have the chance to spot the resident birdlife, crocodiles, a plethora of fish and even the rare manatee. Weather permitting, we then head out a short distance on open water to snorkel on the Mesoamerican Barrier reef, where you will be delighted by the healthy corals and fish in abundance.
Your homemade lunch will be waiting on the beach when we return and we will relax among the coconut groves for a while and enjoy a swim in the sea if you like, before hitting the road back. -
2 hours
Campechen lagoon is the last and largest lagoon of the Sian Ka´an Bisophere. Here we will board a boat and go explore ecosystems and wildlife.
