We loved the tour!! After a minor snafu with our reaervation, the transportation was comfy and on time. The whole place was beautiful with lots of cool details. The ziplines were awesome - some of the best we’ve done. We enjoyed swimming at the cenote as well, and the food at the end was super good. Also, the bar there had the best pina colada and mojito we had the whole trip. The only downside was that there were so many people that it felt a little chaotic - sometimes people would get confused on where they should be waiting, etc. Overall though it was a very fun and well-rounded experience.

This was the absolute best tour if you are interested in birds at all. My husband’s hobby is bird photography and this was probably his favorite part of our honeymoon. The driver, Axel, and the guide, Lope, were professional and very friendly! We ended up seeing 52 different bird species in the morning and were provided a delicious homemade breakfast. If we were back in the Cancún area I am sure we would do the tour again!

Excellent tour. Very well organized. Our guide, Gabriel was very interactive, informative, and did what he was there to do: guide! Worth every penny! However, the buffet lunch was mediocre, had limited options. But I did enjoy the warm corn tortillas though!

well organized, car was there with sign and had the same driver on return. great experience.

I had a great time and all the staff was super respectful.
