Nature & Wildlife in Riviera Maya & the Yucatan

Boat and swim through the aqua channels of Chunyaxche and visit the Muyil ruins on this tour from Cancun. Visit the Muyil Community Center with your guide to view the ancient archaeological site, then depart by boat through the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve's canals. As you journey through two lagoons, keep an eye out for local wildlife, then jump into the clear water and relax as you float through 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of peaceful waterways. Trek through the mangrove back to the community center to refuel with a traditional Mexican lunch. Round-trip private transportation from Cancun hotels is included.

Glide alongside whale sharks and then soak up the sun on Isla Mujeres on this guided day trip from Cancun. A speedboat takes you to a prime viewing location, where you slip on snorkel gear and hop into the water. Marvel at the gentle giants floating by. Then, relax on the white-sand shores of Isla Mujeres' Playa Norte (North Beach). Lunch and hotel transport from Cancun and Playa del Carmen included.
