Getting up close and personal with Mexico's wildlife is what this all-action tour is all about. Add exotic seascapes and untouched mangroves into the mix, and you have an irresistible trip. Boating through Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve, your guide will open your eyes to the incredible biodiversity around you. Manon, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I never get bored with Sian Ka'an. You never know what kind of creatures you'll come across. Around 400 types of fish and 330 bird species live here. Whatever we see, we approach with care - we're always respectful of the wildlife.'
Sometimes nature is so spectacular it's worth a little extra effort to see it first-hand. We've split the long journey to this far-flung UNESCO World Heritage Site, so you'll have less time travelling by 4x4 and more time exploring by boat. You'll see diverse birdlife and countless colourful fish, and you'd be unlucky not to see wild dolphins and turtles. Manatees and crocodiles occasionally make an appearance, too.
Next up, don your snorkelling gear and jump into the clear water around the Mesoamerican barrier reef. Built by 80 species of coral, the stretch of reef in the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve is among Mexico's healthiest. You'll then head to the calm shallows of La Piscina to swim before returning to shore for a locally sourced lunch in a family-run seaview restaurant. You'll have some free time to soak up the dazzling Caribbean colours in Punta Allen before returning by boat and 4x4.
