This water nature preserve is beautiful. It's immense. We snorkeled, starting @ the lazy river. It was a bit frightening in the beginning in the mangroves. The water was murky pretty much all the way into the bay but the sea was also rough that day. Zip lines were fun to do early, they hang a bit low so you... More

I booked this as an all inclusive trip as part of a day out to Xel Ha (the platinum experience). Upon arrival you are given your locker, a time slot for your dolphin experience and your equipment. We had an... More
