See birds, fish, hopefully, dolphins, rays, crustaceans, and a great diversity of life in all its forms. At the end of the tour, you'll feel full of life and closer to nature.

My favorite activity we did while in Cancun! Our guide Joshua was THE BEST. He was helpful and kind and funny and engaging. He made the whole trip! I was pretty nervous being older as to whether I could do the ziplining but he was very kind. The breakfast breads hit the spot after the first Cenote and the lunch was awesome! The entire day was well-orchestrated and we had such a nice and diverse group in our group. It made the trip so much fun! I would do this activity again. It was also great that you could buy the water shoes (which you definitely needed) and a rashguard shirt from the van!

I booked it at the last minute and I didn’t regret it. It was amazing. Weather was perfect and the tour guide is completely fluent in English. He really seems to enjoy sharing his true passion and knowledge about biodiversity. We were lucky enough to spot some birds, a baby caiman and an iguana. I sincerely recommend it!
