Unique Sian Kaan Biosphere Small Group Tour With Lunch and Pick Up

Sian Kaan Biosphere Small Group

Discover a hidden world with our Sian Kaan tour, a full-day boat safari into the wildest corners of the Riviera Maya. This small group adventure picks up from Cancún, Tulum, and the Riviera Maya, giving you easy access to one of Mexico’s most biodiverse treasures.

Begin your journey with a boat ride through the winding mangrove canals of the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, you might spot dolphins, turtles, crocodiles, and exotic birds. It’s a paradise for nature lovers.

Soon after, weather permitting, you’ll snorkel in a vibrant Caribbean coral reef, among colorful fish and marine life. Few places offer this kind of underwater visibility and reef health.

Next, you’ll arrive in Punta Allen, a quiet coastal fishing village. Here, unwind with a delicious local lunch and feel the authentic rhythm of seaside life. But your day isn’t over yet.

To finish, head to La Piscina, a breathtaking natural sandbar with shallow, turquoise waters. It’s the perfect spot to float, swim, and soak in the calm.

With professional guides, round-trip transportation, and small group sizes, this is more than just a tour—it’s an intimate and immersive escape into nature.
