Unforgettable day, beautiful scenery. Accompaniment at the top with our driver Hector, our guide Lea, as well as our boat captain, Rodrigo.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que cette journée vous ait plu et que vous ayez apprécié les paysages ainsi que l’accompagnement de toute l’équipe. Nous ne manquerons pas de transmettre vos compliments à Léa, Hector et Rodrigo !
Just like to say how great our tour with Mexicakantours was and Kenia, and Jess for making the whole day just great.
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you had such a great day with Kenia and Jess. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them!
All right. We are a travel agency and our clients together with us had a great time..Martin and Kenya excellent guides
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario! Nos alegra mucho saber que tanto ustedes como sus clientes disfrutaron la experiencia. Martin y Kenia estarán encantados de saberlo. ¡Esperamos seguir colaborando en el futuro!
A great day of private discovery of Sian Ka’an with Léa, fabulous guide who speaks perfect French. Lots of culture on biodiversity, with qualitative explanations and great listening to children! We could see, among others, dolphins, turtles, a manatee, birds... Bravo Léa for this superb day with the family!
Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique retour ! Nous sommes ravis que votre journée privée à Sian Ka’an ait été une si belle expérience en famille. Léa sera très heureuse de savoir que ses explications et son attention envers les enfants ont marqué votre visite. Observer une telle richesse de biodiversité est toujours inoubliable. Au plaisir de vous revoir pour une nouvelle aventure !
The tour was disappointing. The weather was poor so we missed seeing any aquatic animals. The guide then informed us the conditions were too bad for snorkelling. The meals were cold and the full-day activity was shortened to 3pm instead of 7pm. We’d have appreciated a reschedule or refund given the weather was unsuitable.
Hi Victor, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we understand how disappointing this must have been—especially when weather conditions impact a planned activity. At this stage, we’re unable to identify your booking based on the information provided. We’d very much like to look into this properly and review what occurred on the day. If you’re willing, could you please contact us directly with your booking reference, date of travel, and the name under which the reservation was made? For safety reasons, our guides may need to modify or shorten activities, including cancelling snorkelling, when weather or sea conditions are unsuitable. That said, we do take concerns regarding reduced activity time and meal quality seriously, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further once we can locate your booking. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to hear from you soon so we can assist further.
An absolutely beautiful experience. A huge thank you to Jessica for her commitment, kindness and passion that she transmits with so much generosity. We had the chance to observe an exceptional diversity of animals, all in breathtaking landscapes. An unforgettable day that will remain etched in our memories.
Votre témoignage est touchant et magnifique—merci infiniment pour ce partage ! Il est évident que Jessica a rendu cette journée absolument exceptionnelle grâce à son engagement, sa bienveillance et sa passion contagieuse. Son talent pour transmettre son amour de la nature avec tant de générosité a sans doute marqué votre expérience de manière unique. Avoir pu observer une diversité animale aussi riche, dans des paysages à couper le souffle, est un privilège rare. Une journée comme celle-ci, inoubliable et gravée dans vos souvenirs, est ce qui fait la magie des rencontres avec la nature et des guides passionnés comme Jessica. Si jamais vos pas vous ramènent dans la région, ce serait un bonheur de vous accueillir à nouveau pour d’autres aventures tout aussi mémorables.
awesome trip. Martin and Lea (aka Leo) were excellent hosts. We got lucky was the the wildlife as well thanks to the attentiveness of Lea!
You're very welcome! Martin and Lea truly stand out for their passion and expertise, and we’re delighted they made your adventure so special. If you ever return to the Yucatán, we’d love to welcome you back for more incredible experiences—perhaps with even more wildlife encounters!
It was a great day! Jessica and Iber were the best guides imaginable! Everything was as described and we saw all the animals too! While snorkeling we even saw a Noseshark! Lunch was very delicious, you could choose a dish in the morning! It was a wonderful day in nature!
Vielen lieben Dank für Ihr Feedback! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie einen so tollen Tag mit Jessica und Iber hatten — sie werden sich riesig freuen, das zu hören! Wie schön, dass Sie alle Tiere beobachten konnten und beim Schnorcheln sogar einen Nurse Shark gesehen haben – was für ein besonderes Erlebnis! Auch toll, dass Ihnen das Mittagessen geschmeckt hat und Sie den Tag in der Natur so genießen konnten. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einer weiteren unvergesslichen Tour begrüßen zu dürfen!
