“Don’t skip this one- it’s incredible. The archeological site at Tulum is beautiful, and the local food experience was awesome! Floating down a magical waterway amidst the natural ecology of Sian Ka’an was the experience of a lifetime. Lea is a knowledgeable, fun, and patient guide who took such good care of us! It was evident that she cares both for her clients and for the amazing area she shares with them. I cannot recommend this activity enough!”

5.Mayan Ruins & Sian Kaan Tour with Boat Ride and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 423 reviews · 3 - 6 hours · from $169

Explore Tulum ruins, enjoy a Mexican lunch, and float through Sian Kaan mangroves on a small-group half-day tour from Tulum.

“We did the half day tour - choosing to go only to the Sian Ka'an Reserve and float down the canals. Alonzo was our fabulous guide - very friendly, helpful and we heard him speak 4 languages - maybe he knows more. The 'float' was the highlight our our week in Tulum, the water and air temperatures were perfect in the canal. We would highly recommend the tour and ask for Alonzo!”
