A fantastic kayak experience through the beautiful mangroves of Cancun! Our guide Andres was so kind and was a fantastic kayak partner, he was so knowledgeable of the areas around the mangroves, showed us plenty of tropical starfish and jellyfish, overall a fantastic and memorable experience! I would highly recommend, the 2hrs tour went by so quickly and it is perfect if you are an experienced kayaker or a complete beginner!

The guide was great. The water in the cenotes was not cold compared to that of the lakes of Quebec. I recommend bringing water shoes for this tour. I really enjoyed this activity.
