Exclusive Full Day Nature Expedition in Sian Ka'an
Join us on an expedition into the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is one of the most ecologically diverse areas that includes tropical forests, mangroves, wetlands, savannas, and coastal areas.
We will explore this incredibly biodiverse region by boat, navigating the mangrove estuaries that were used by ancient Maya traders. Be on the lookout for monkeys, a wide variety of bird species, and an array of marine life, such as sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and various tropical fish.
From the village of Punta Allen, a lobster fishing community deep in the reserve, we will embark on a coral reef snorkeling trip, enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by locals, and have some time to relax and stroll through the town.
If you want to experience nature at its best, then this expedition is for you!
