Itinerary
Laguna Kaan Luum
Ge ready for the adventure of a lifetime. You will be picked up in a comfortable, airconditioned private vehicle by our licensed driver, accompanied by your personal tour guide. From Playa del Carmen we will be driving around 1 hour to reach the lagoon. Here you can find a bathroom and a place to change, as well as take a mandatory shower before we walk two minutes to the lagoon over a wooden path surrounded by mangroves and covered by trees. On this beautiful lagoon you will be given a small intro to paddleboarding, after which we will be exploring this amazing natural wonder on our paddleboards. There is time to swim, take a clay bath (voluntary or possibly unvoluntary when you fall in) and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this natural environment. You can try some special skills on your paddleboard as well, like a pivot turn or a yoga tree pose. Afterwards you can hang out a bit in the lagoon, try the natural fish spa, lie in a hammock and take some amazing selfies.
Tulum
This is our stop on our way back after the lagoon tour, about 15 minutes driving. Here we will have some of the best tacos you can find in the Riviera Maya. Vegetarian options are available. For sure you'll have worked up an appetite, so dig in! After that we will drive back to Playa del carmen or wherever we need to drop you off. If you want we'd be more than happy to stop somewhere to pick up a couple of cold beers.

Aloha Kaan Luum Tour
Our group of six had an amazing experience taking the Aloha Tour to Kaan Luum Lagoon. Deep in the jungle near Tulum it is an other worldly sight with large lake of clear water with a huge deep blue center. The lagoon lake bed is made of soft gritty white clay and everyone exfoliates with this special mineral mix. There is a staircase and platform on the beach that gives an awesome view of this giant water phenomenon. There are modern well kept shower and sanitary facilities, Afterward we stopped in Tulum for delicious tacos and then to the mojito bar-both unique and amazing, On the way back we stopped at Cenote Azul also a natural wonder of six or more cenotes in the jungle with walking paths to each area. Many beautiful fresh water tropical fish. Aloha are professionals who really know the area and their hospitality. Five star service.

Paddleboard Tour
Morning on the Lagoon and an afternoon Paddle at the Cenote. The whole Private Tour for myvwife and myself was amazing and unforgettable. Sander and Paco were friendly and so easy to get on with. And experts on Tacos.. I would recommend Aloha Paddle Club to anyone wanting to learn the Paddle or do a Tour. The highlight of my 2 week Mexican Holiday.

Lagoon and Tulum tour!
We organized this private tour for our friend's bachelorette, The crew was amazing, really made it fun. We added Tulum ruins for an extra charge and our guide Tania really made it an experience. lagoon afterwards was very beautiful. We all had a lot of fun doing the mud bath which was a bit weird but actually really made our skin feel smoother. Tacos and mojitos were the perfect ending. 5 stars for all of you!

Highly recommended
Amazing morning with Tania. She took us first to Tulum ruins as an add on and after that we went to Kaan Luum to spend some hours paddleboarding and relaxing in this perfect little place. Tacos afterwards were a really nice extra, best we ever had! Can't thank you enough for organizing this for us,

TOUR 10/10
We booked the tour to Kaan Luum after Lucas our guide for the sunrise paddle recommended that they do private tours as well. It was such a great experience, just like everything they do: personal, fun and with great attention to our well being all the time. The photos were an amazing souvenir as well.

Glad you did. Thanks! :)
