We did the Coba, Chichen Itza & Valladolid excursion on our honeymoon and it was incredible. Our guide was so knowledgeable, and seeing the Mayan ruins, exploring the jungle, and visiting Chichen Itza – one of the Seven Wonders – was unforgettable. Lunch was included with plenty of tasty options. It is a long day, but absolutely worth it for the history, culture, and amazing sights.

Frank and Salvador were brilliant. Frank delivered historical knowledge in an entertaining and engaging way. He explained the spiritual and cultural side of things especially the images on the temple. Salvador drove us safely to the various venues. Would highly recommend these two.

Our guide and host was friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky to get to Coba and the Cenote early and had full access to ourselves! The Cenote is definitely a bucket list location, plenty of time to enjoy our surroundings. Chichén Itzá was equally breathtaking, although the heat was very intense, with little areas to provide respite from it. My only critique would be the hidden costly taxes not included in the tickets and some of the staff/vendors at the locations were quite harassing.

Sian Ka’an Reserve Tour with Boat Trip

The ancient Maya called it ‘Where the Sky Begins' – and there's definitely a touch of heaven to Sian Ka'an. Its mangroves, coral reefs, wildlife and archaeological sites mean that it's both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Biosphere Reserve, a rare double that puts it in the Champions League of natural parks. Manon, one of our expert local guides, says, “I first came to Sian Ka'an as a visitor on holidays from Normandy and totally fell in love with it – now I work in this paradise. I come here every day and have never lived the same experience twice.” The adventure begins the moment you step onto the boat to explore the dense mangroves. As you navigate through the reserve, you'll be surrounded by flora and fauna – over 300 species call this place home, including birds, crocodiles and dolphins. As the boat drifts along, your guide will point out unique plant species that thrive in this wetland ecosystem, explaining their vital roles in maintaining the ecological balance. Then, you'll head out into the Caribbean Sea to snorkel in one of the best-preserved reefs in the area. You'll also drop the anchor at a shallow stretch of sand with low tides and crystal-clear waters, known locally as La Piscina. Then, the afternoon is all about unwinding. You'll head to Punta Allen, a small Mayan fishing village, where you can savour some local dishes, before having some time to sit back and relax. It's an idyllic end to a day spent immersed in some of Cancun's most stunning natural scenery.
