The tour of the Muyil ruins and the Sian Ka'an Biosphere was a fantastic experience. We had a knowledgeable guide, the ruins and the surrounding jungle were a treat for the eyes, and the boat ride followed by a kilometre's floating in the beautiful canal pure heaven. And the lunch was delicious. Add to all this that the tours are... More

We met Alberto and the driver at our hotel. Not only proffesional but Alberto spoke great English as well as being passionate about nature and maya culture. The four of us were given a very informative tour of mayan ruins with walk in forest, ride on boat, quick fresh fruit snack. Then boat ride and in the water to float... More

I met a birdwatcher in Akumal, about 45 minutes north, and we agreed to do this trip together. I was with her when she called to book it and the reservation clerk seemed quite confused about the days and dates, but in Spanish and English she clearly specified Thursday. We got up at 4:30 a.m., got there at 6:00 a.m.,... More

We took two tours from Community Tours--one in the morning (birdwatching around the Muyil ruins) and a late afternoon boat/bird tour that explored the lagoons and canals. We were fortunate enough to have Antonio as our guide on both occasions, and he was great. If you're a naturist or a birdwatcher (we logged 56 species in one day--including 34 in... More

Community tours Sian Ka'an  We've booked the ancient canal tour. It was amazing we were just the 2 of us with the guide, who were speaking a perfect English!  We did the boat trip and then floating in the canal, which was the best memories ever ! 1km floating in a clear-blue-lagoon !  Of course we've also seen lots of...

We were waffling about whether to spend the money on this day trip ($100/person) because we had already spent a lot on diving but it ended up being so worth it. Alverdo was our guide for the first part of the day, which was a guided tour of the forest, a hands-on history lesson of Mayan gum production, and a... More

My partner and I booked the Muyil Forest Tour and Float and we could not have been happier with our decision. We had the most amazing day! Our guide Manuel was a true gentleman and just wonderful - he had a great sense of humour, was friendly, gracious and passionate about the biosphere environment - which showed as he explained...

We were picked up early from our Hotel and driven to Sian Ka-an Biosphere Reserve a 1.3 million acre UNESCO site. There was a building on the beach where we paid for the trip and it was a hotel as well. The view of the sea at the front and the lagoon behind was amazing. We went onto the lake... More

First, let me say I'm terrified of water. I love riding in boats, but I cannot swim at all. Floating down the canal required no swimming experience. Our guide, Alberto, was kind enough to hold my hand the entire float, but next time (YES! There will absolutely be another tour of Sian Ka'an) I will float by myself just wearing... More
