Discover the fascinating history of the Maya at Tulum, a spectacular ancient city overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The ruins of Tulum are a must on anyone's visit to the region, our expert guides will lead you through this wonderful site with tales of calendars, ceremony and Spanish invaders.

A delicious Mexican food tasting is included in the tour right after visiting Tulum Ruins.

Once we reach the Muyil lagoon, we take a boat across two lagoons connected by an artificial canal that has been in use for many centuries. Xlapak is the name of the building at the beginning of the lazy river and the start of an incredible floating experience in crystal clear pluvial water on its way to the Caribbean Sea. We float for over 30 minutes surrounded by mangroves, orchids, bromeliads and cacti while we hear the sounds of nature.

We had a wonderful time with Carlos and Armando. The floating down the lagoon river was relaxing and refreshing and a ton of fun. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the Tulum ruins and all things Mayan. Highly recommend this tour.
Great tour! Highly recommend

The visit was wonderful: the Mayan ruins are extremely fascinating, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The most amazing thing is the boat and swimming tour in Sian Ka'an reserve, one of the most incredible experiences of my life for colors and emotion. A special mention goes to Alonso, our guide: his preparation, attention and kindness have made this trip truly special, offering us a brilliant and well-prepared eye on Mexican culture and traditions.

We had an amazing day trip where we first got to see and roam the ancient Mayan Ruins in Tulum, before heading to the Muyil biosphere where we first toured the lagoon by boat and jumping in the water for a quick refreshing swim and floating. Our very competent guides Paloma and Victor were very friendly and provided us with a lot of background information regarding Mayan history and culture. The tour and our guides were a lot of fun, as such I can only recommend booking this trip and getting to spend a lovely day with them.

Joseline was a wonderful guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable she gave us recommendations for local taco apots away from tourist areas for my foodie husband.. Tulum was great and joseline provided water and snacks to keep us going. Swimming down the river in the Preserve was amazing and so relaxing and she stayed with my family with a weak swimmer to assure we'd be fine. Had a great time on this small tour and if we come back to Mexico, we'll definitely utilize this company n ask for Joseline again.
Great tour!
