Float through ancient Maya canals in Sian Ka'an, spot manatees and crocodiles, enjoy local food, and visit a quiet Caribbean beach.

“Pick up was on time in little minibus. Food in community restaurant was good for breakfast and lunch. The lady tour guide was very informative switching from our 2 boats and conversing in both French and English. We saw lots of birds and 3 manatees. Drifting down the Mayan waterways was fun if a little cold. It would be good to have a changing room separate from the toilets so you can change out of your wet swimsuit there rather than the small toilet cubicles.”
