- Our guide was Paloma - our family of 4 took the lagoon cruise and lazy river float in Sian Ka'an Muyil for the afternoon. What an amazing experience! We were staying in the Yucatán peninsula for 2 weeks doing loads of fun stuff, but we thought this particular trip with Mexico Kan Tours was the highlight of the holiday! The scenario across the lagoons and going through the mangroves in the boat was sensational. And then we got to jump in and float together down the flowing canal in the beautiful warm clear water. It was really good fun and the whole family throughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended!

Great fun with great guide! - Had a wonderful time - Alonso was extremely knowledgeable answering all our questions, offering suggestions and took us for a great lunch. Boating through the lagoons and floating in the water was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

A tour to remember (Lea and Axel/Jonthan) - Due to some unforeseen circumstances, my wife and I had to change our plans and picked this tour instead. And we are so glad we did. The tour guide, Lea, was an absolute gem and treated all of us like family. She gave us so much insight into the history of Tulum and made sure to answer any questions we had along the way. Lunch was authentic and delicious. And even when someone ran into our van while we were at lunch (the driver, Axel, was fine and handled it like a pro), they provided us with another van and our tour continued without a hitch. The highlight of the trip was definitely the lazy river float in the crystal-clear canal. If you want to really relax on your trip to Mexico, this is the way to do it. Both drivers, Axel and Jonthan, were stellar and kept the van cool and our water jugs full.

To do absolutely!!!! - Beautiful!!!!!! Very nice site. If there is one activity not to be missed it is this. We had a great guide, Florencio who welcomed us so well and explained the history of the site, but also that of its people 😍 We went there in May, so in low season we were the only ones on this amazing site, it was very appreciable 🤗

a historical and UNESCO floating trip - The experience of Tulum and Muyil is unique. We had a very time with Paloma. She also took us to the local restaurant for lunch where we had our best tacos.

My favorite activity in Mexico - 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!

The canal is spectacular - Really good! The floating canal was amazing and the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour feels a bit expensive but it's worth every penny

Informative and beautiful day out - The lazy river and boat ride was amazing, and so was the food. The chicharron could've been a bit crispier though 🤣 (but it's okay, was still very delicious)
