This was our first excursion in Mexico and arguably the best. Our guide Juan was amazing, very very knowledgeable and friendly. If you only go on one excursion in the Yucatan peninsula this is the one you should go on as it has a bit of everything. We snorkled in Grand Cenote, saw some Mayan ruins, walked through jungle, had an amazing boat ride across two stunning lakes and then one of the lovliest experiences of my life... floated through 1km of mangrove lined water being carried along by the current before being picked up by the boat and taken back to the shore. We finished it all off with a meal at a lovely restaurant in Tulum getting the dishes explained by your guide really makes a difference and gives you a greater appreciation of local cuisine. Have not got a single negative thing to say about this excursion. You are picked up from the door of your hotel and returned there at the end of the day. As you are only in very small groups you get all your questions answered and an amazing experience. Thank you Juan!!!!!

Tour guide was amazing. Knew a lot about the tribe and how they lived. Well worth your money.

The guide was nice. He showed us a book on what animals might be in the reserve, but nothing was ever sighted. We boated across a lake, through a channel, across another lake, and floated in a Mayan made channel for about an hour, which was neat for the first half hour. After going back across both lakes, we went back to town for lunch at a local diner. It was not bad, but the only purpose was to keep the owner well fed! Lunch was included in the offer, but you only get one drink; water or soda or beer, but only one! So, after a thirty minute drive each way and an hour and a half lunch, we went to a small ruin, Muyil, which was nice, but they were no comparison to Tulum or Coba. We couldn't understand what the ruin had to do with the Wilderness Adventure. Eventually, we went back to town to snorkel, which was actually kind of fun, the best part of this Lackluster Wilderness Adventure. I would not recommend it.
