The Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is an unspoiled natural paradise that brings you even closer to Mexico's colourful flora and fauna. You'll whizz along dirt trails, then take a boat along the mangroves to see wildlife up close, snorkel and swim in natural pools, and find peace and tranquillity on beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.

You'll spend 90 minutes journeying deep into the reserve in a specially adapted vehicle to tackle the exciting off-road trails and thick jungle terrain of the Mexican Caribbean. Next, you'll board the boat in Paso Largarto (Lizard Road) where you'll be able to spot dolphins, turtles and maybe even manatees and crocodiles.

They'll be a snorkelling stop at the world's second-largest coral reef, before heading to the natural pool – known as La Piscina — that stretches several metres into the sea. Tuck into a tasty lunch at a restaurant serving regional dishes in Punta Allen before rounding the day with some free time in the village.

The guide was friendly, but he was really difficult to understand. He had to go through 4 languages which is too much, too much waiting. The trip should have been explained better (boat trip on open water it not so good weather…). The “jeep part of the trip” is not pleasant, is only transport on really ********** road. Overall I think the trip could have been better! But nice to see turtles and dolphins.

Se venligst min besked tidligere. Derudover bedes I give tydelig besked om, hvis der kommer ekstra gebyrer eller taxes oveni og hvor meget de i givet fald udgør. Den bedste service yder I, hvis I prisen for turen er inkl. alt, så vi på forhånd har betalt for alt.

Tien voisi lanata, tunti matkasta suuntaansa aika röykkyä

Veneretki oli ihana. Safariautoon ei missään nimessä neljää aikuista takapenkille. 1,5 tuntia kestävä töyssyinen matka oli hirveä kokemus ahtaassa istuen. Vauhti liian kova - ei ehtinyt ympärilleen katsoa. Ralli on eri kuin safari.
