Join our expert guide in a boat exploration of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, in search of a Dolphin Sanctuary located at the
heart of this important World Heritage site of Unesco. While navigating the mangrove forests, seagrass beds, barrier reef
and caribbean beaches of this untouched nature reserve, you will have a direct contact with exuberant wildlife and breathtaking
natural beauty. All of this thanks to Unesco’s world wide Nature Conservation program called: “Man on the Biosphere”, that
promotes for the mayan fishermen of Punta Allen, to organize boat tours from the mangroves to the Caribbean sea within the
nature reserve of Sian Ka’an.
Join our expert in tropical biodiversity to explore the Sian Ka’an Biosphere and to admire the wildlife located in the mangroves
and the barrier reef of this important nature reserve
We will start the boat tour deep in the mangroves located 40 kms or 25 miles from Punta Allen. This means that we will avoid
2 hours and a half in the bumpy road from Tulum to Punta Allen, and that we will be able to experience the most
pristine natural surroundings of Sian Ka’an
The tour begins navigating the mangroves with your boat captain and guide boat tour that we navigate, will give you the opportunity
to spot wildlife such as migrating and/or resident birds as well as to spot a crocodile or 2
Later, the boat exploration continues in the transition from the Mangroves to the Ocean, where Seagrass Beds are formed and
Sea Turtles gather to feed
Here, you will also encounter a group of Bottlenose Dolphins that use the Seagrass beds as hunting grounds for fish and other
food
As the boat tour progresses from the mangrove to the caribbean sea, our captain will take us to discover the mayan barrier
reef and snorkel among vast amounts of reef fishes and colourful coral formations
Later, we will continue our boat exploration by swimming in the beautiful beaches of the Sian Ka’an biosphere, where you
will enjoy picture perfect moments while you swim in the tranquil and transparent waters of the natural pools
of the Caribbean Sea
At the end of our boat expedition, we will enjoy a delicious caribbean meal at a beach side restaurant
We will end our Dolphin expedition in the Mayan fishermen’s village of Punta Allen, located at the tip of an island surrounded
by mangroves and the caribbean sea, where you will learn about the quiet way of life of this Mayan fishermen
community in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve
