Sian Ka'an Biodiversity Adventure with Transportation and Lunch
What your day looks like
This is a great tour to explore different marine ecosystems where it is possible to find incredible reptiles such as crocodiles and sea turtles, birds like frigates, pelicans, boobies, cormorants, herons, egrets, ospreys and many more. Dolphins are a common sight and with luck, a manatee can also be seen. Snorkeling in the Mesoamerican reef (subject to weather conditions) is an activity to enjoy sights of its incredible diversity of fish and coral. When it is time to relax, we visit a beautiful sandbank that the locals refer to as "the world's largest swimming pool". We finish with a delicious Caribbean lunch.
The experience, in brief
