Kayaking Tour in Cancun

Peaceful kayaking through lagoon and mangroves. Jessica was an excellent guide to the wildife and plants of the area. Some of the kayaks were sit-on-tops, some were less comfortable Yakboards, all were fine since this was all easy paddling. PFDs and waivers were standard. Guide was prepared to instruct paddling technique, but we were fairly experienced, so she limited her tips to some pointers as needed for our youngest teen. We applied insect repellent as a precaution but didn't notice many mosquitoes. We booked an evening kayak, and the Viator listed time didn't line up with the summer sunset. Jessica did notify us of the time change, but we couldn't easily change our transportation arrangements. We spent the extra hour at the nearby Parroquia de Cristo Resucitado, which also offered pleasant shaded gardens and a Catholic bookstore with beautiful, affordable, Mexican-made crucifixes.

The absolute best instructor I met (Lars) was an amazing experience, have previously dived in Turkey, Dubai but never experienced such experience, this made the diving extremely safe and relaxed! I really had to ask all the questions I could think of and learn on a completely different level, after today I feel that I got more security in the water when it comes to diving! Lars is very keen that everything takes the time it requires and that there must be no stress, he makes sure that there is plenty of time for all elements.

We had Juan Carlos as our tour guide. We were running a bit late and he reassured us. It was also my first time kayaking and he was very kind and patient! Gave us a super informative tour of the lagoon and we learned a lot we wouldn’t have known other wise. Highly recommend, was a really relaxing and pleasant thing to do on one of our last days in the area:)

I scheduled directly with the operator via WhatsApp; it was super easy and quick. I made a 50% payment by transfer and the rest before the tour. It has been a beautiful experience; we learned from an expert how to use the kayak. From the beginning, Jessica (highly recommended guide) was very kind, friendly, and patient with us. The entire tour was very pleasant; it provided us with a lot of information about the lagoon, we saw some birds, some fish, lagoon jellyfish, the mangrove, baby mangroves, etc. I definitely recommend this activity 100%; it is relaxing and different, far from the hustle and bustle. Thank you, Jessica, for the beautiful experience.

I love it is the second time I do the activity and definitely return with them but this time I was accompanied by my dog and had a great time, our super attentive guide explained everything was always pending, all super if you come to Cancun and have the opportunity to go do it🫶🏻

Camila is an incredible tour guide. She is so knowledgeable about mangroves and the biodiversity of the lagoon, I learned so much from her. The lagoon is so stunning and full of life, definitely a must see if you’re in Cancún!

The meeting point was just across the street from Temptations Cancun behind Oxxo at the pier. We ended up being the only two to book, so ended up being a private tour. So nice! We’re experienced kayakers so was an easy paddle. They had decent equipment too! Juan Carlos (Junior) was an excellent guide. Very enjoyable tour.

We had a great time kayaking and learning about the mangrove on our 25th wedding anniversary. Sabrina and Rukes where excellent and very friendly guides. Their passion and care for the mangrove was inspiring. We got a private tour since the possibility of rain led others to reschedule, but we ended up having perfect weather anyway. Overall great time and highly recommend!

“This kayaking tour struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. We explored hidden lagoons and caves that you could only reach by kayak. The guide made it fun and engaging, taking photos for us and ensuring we felt confident on the water. A must-do experience!”
