"We went with Sian Kaan community tours (a non profit
organisation that puts money back into the conservation of the
biosphere) and did the Punta Allen and Muyil Forest and float tours.
The trips were excellent, with the guides having a real passion for the
conservation of the biosphere. Their English was good and were able to
answer all questions. We saw dolphins, turtles, snorkelled among corel
reefs, floated down Mayan canals, sailed through Mangrove forests and
swam in cenotes. I thoroughly recommend this trip with them. I took
over 300 pictures, most being post card quality. It was a very
memorable day out. Well worth it."
