EXCELLENT Based on 88 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor CMartinVerified Beautiful eco adventure in the Cancun lagoon mangroves Beautiful eco adventure in the Cancun lagoon mangroves! Manta rays and oceanic birds galore! Tour guide Andres was very informative and passionate about the local ecosystem. Bring sunscreen and bug spray! Highly recommend!Posted on Tripadvisor Sarah BVerified The best guides and incredible nature! We absolutely loved our tour!! Andrs was incredibly welcoming and a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and leading local conservation work - we took an evening tour and saw many birds, sting rays, a lobster, and an awesome sunset. Will do again the next time we are in Cancun! Tip: Bring cash because you will want to leave a tip! And get curious - your guides are locals and will answer your nature questions. Mangroves provide critical protection against hurricanes and a core ecosystem. Appreciate this special experience!Posted on Tripadvisor Carlita MVerified Beautiful scenic experience Very beautiful scenery and relaxing experience. I do wish they explained the proper paddle form at the start, but they helped as we went a long. The weather was very windy the day we went, but the guides contacted us prior to the start and allowed us to reschedule if we didn’t feel comfortable. Overall it was a good experience in a small group. I loved watching the sunset and seeing the animals.Posted on Tripadvisor Jennifer NVerified Peaceful Lagoon Paradise Kayaking in the Cancun lagoon was an unforgettable experience and a perfect break from the busy hotel zone. Passing through the mangroves felt peaceful and almost surreal. Andres was knowledgeable and friendly, pointing out local wildlife and explaining the ecosystem, which made the experience even more meaningful.Posted on Tripadvisor Camila TVerified Conexión con la naturaleza Una desconexión del caos de Cancún en pleno centro de la Zona Hotelera. El tour es maravilloso, los guias super preocupados de que pases una experiencia inolvidable. Cancún suele ser un lugar muy ruidoso pero si quieres un poco de conexión con la naturaleza, observar animales y recorrer un bosque de manglares a pasos de tu alojamiento, este es el mejor panoramaPosted on Tripadvisor ChrisVerified Wonderful 2 hour experience If you are in Cancun and have not visited a mangrove before and would like to get in some calm relaxing exercise with a little adventure, this is for you. The mangroves are pristine, the water is clear and the whole experience is very calming as you paddle through the mangrove channels and explore the mangrove tree canopy overhead. I am sorry that I did not take my diving/snorkelling mask with me as there is also opportunity to snorkel during rest stops. The water is about 2-3 m deep at most and crystal clear so you will see fish and rays, apart from the birds in the trees. Although I am an experienced kayaker I still enjoyed the trip because our group was less than 10 and our 2 guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. So even if you have not kayaked before, you will easily manage. This excursion is a great addition to doing some scuba/ snorkeling, swimming in the cenotes and visiting the Mayan pyramidsPosted on Tripadvisor Julie LVerified Un momento increíble ¡Una experiencia realmente mágica y un equipo excelente! La laguna es preciosa y se disfruta estar en la naturaleza. El atardeser fue muy bonita. Lo recomiendo.Posted on Tripadvisor Jeffrey R SVerified Wonderful evening paddle through the mangroves Had a great evening paddle through the mangroves with Damien. Damien was relaxed, congenial, and excited to share his knowledge of Cancun Bay and the mangroves. Thoroughly enjoyable.Posted on Tripadvisor Janina PVerified Peaceful evening at the laguna Best experience of our stay at Cancun! It was our first time kayaking ever but due to the good instructions of our guide, everything went very smooth even it was very windy and low tide at the laguna. We learned a lot about the ecological system, animals, plants and enjoyed the peaceful and serene athmosphere. The guys there are cleaning the laguna every month and are doing a great job to preserve this beautiful place! If you are looking for alternative tourism, don‘t hesitate and book this unforgetable experience!
