Sian Ka an Biosphere Nature Reserve
Escape the city’s hustle and bustle and relax among nature on the Riviera Maya Sian Ka’an Biosphere Explorer Punta Allen tour. As a designated Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sian Ka’an is a natural wonder. The natural reserve sits on over 1.3 million acres and is home to wetlands, mangroves, marshes, beaches, tropical forests, and more, and you can see the highlights during this tour. While some people explore the biosphere on foot, the best way is by boat. With a local fisherman as a guide, you will do just that, making it easy to view wildlife and diverse ecosystems up close.
Once you get on the boat, the captain will point the vessel south and travel down the lagoon, passing by pristine landscapes. You will eventually arrive at Boca Paila, which is an open cenote. Keep your eyes peeled for the residents that include crocodiles, birds, and manatees. Since you’re in a boat, you won’t scare them off, so you can sit back and watch them in their natural habitat.
Then you will continue traveling down the lagoon and eventually float into the ocean. The water changes color here, and the skies open up, giving you an entirely new view. As the captain navigates the ocean waters, you might see sea turtles and dolphins.
You’re in for a real treat if the waters are calm during the Riviera Maya Sian Ka’an Biosphere Explorer Punta Allen tour. If that’s the case, your captain will head to a barrier reef system, where you can snorkel. With thousands of species under the water, you can expect lots of action. And don’t worry if you get tired while snorkeling. You’ll head over to a sandbank for a little relaxation and swimming before going to lunch in Punta Allen.
