Sunrise Kayak Sian Ka’an Experience
Overview
Explore the wetlands of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in a beautiful and environmentally respectful journey.
Meet your guide and group at the dock (3.2 km inside the reserve 2 miles ) where the kayaks are waiting to start the adventure.
We kayak in sit-inside kayaks (tandem or single) for about 2 or 3 hours to show you a good route and visit the Pirates Island “ Frigate Birds”
