About the Tour

• The biosphere of Sian Ka’an, designated by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage, is the largest protected area in the Caribbean.

• Experience a „boat safari” through this incredible landscape, crossing lagoons and sea, navigating around the Punta Allen fishing village.
• Enter the Reserve by passing under the Sian Ka’an arch in a minivan, accompanied by a professional tour guide.
• Travel through a bumpy jungle road to a pier at the start of the Campeche lagoon, where expert captains will be waiting with fisherman speed boats.
