The archaeological site of Muyil is located in the northern part of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere reserve. This ancient Mayan trading post is the perfect place to enjoy astounding Mayan temples such as the 17 meters (57 ft) building known as El Castillo in the incredibly diverse semi-deciduous forest of Sian Ka'an. From the archaeological site you will take an interpretive trail towards the tallest observation point of Sian Ka'an to admire the exuberant vegetation of the jungle and the fresh water wetlands. Once you reach the Muyil lagoon, you will take a boat across two lagoons connected by an artificial canal that has been in use for many centuries. Xlapak is the name of the building at the beginning of the lazy river and the start of an incredible floating experience in crystal clear pluvial water on its way to the Caribbean ocean. You will float for over 30 minutes surrounded by mangroves, orchids, bromeliads. A delicious vegetarian picnic with seasonal fruits is included in the tour.

In an adventurous dirt road we will cross part of the reserve, until we reach the point where the boats will board to start the safari, where we will begin to observe different types of birds in the keys formed by the mangroves, then we go in search of sea turtles and dolphins in their natural habitat. Later we will go to one of the most physical and fun activities of the tour that is snorkeling in the reef. After a little swim, we stop at the wonderful natural pool to take a Caribbean bath and cool off with drinks. It is important that you know that the tour offered is operated by us and not by third parties. Which means that from the moment they approach our units you are safe. We have our own fleet, offices in Playa del Carmen and Tulum. As also all personnel involved are directly or indirectly under the orders of the company. All this to provide you with quality service.

Our tour to Chichen Itza was arranged by Julie Menasco and conducted by Hugo with his driver Luis. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and charmed by both men. They had a wonderful sense of humor that enhanced all of the amazing history of the Mayan Civilization. It was a fascinating experience where we learned a great deal and were treated with the utmost regard for our every need.The Mexican buffet lunch was also authentic and terrific along with the opportunity to swim in the Caldera. Accolades to this tour group and thanks for an unforgettable day.

Long waiting time after pick up (7:20am) and check in in a souvenir shop. We sat another 30 minutes in the van. The driver Jorge was not able to give us a plausible explanation of the further delay. Tour only started at 9am. Tour company says to operate with 80% capacity. In a van of 12 seats, it's simply one seat empty, and this one was taken by a second guide, Oscar. After 30 minutes drive, the main guide, Edmundo explained the tour program. Neither he nor the driver wore their masks properly from the start. The other guide just had a ridiculous pirate cloth as a protection. I kindly asked them to wear their masks properly. But instead of apologizing and do so, I got a highly aggressive and inappropriate answer from Edmundo. And basically, the guides and the driver did not care at all to have their masks properly on or respect any appropriate Covid measurements. At one point, one of the participants in the back of the van felt sick, so the small window was opened and also to have some fresh air to ventilate the van a bit. The driver even stopped the van to tell this person off, as he wanted to have the ac on, which is ridiculous in a pandemic. We were never given some disinfectant during the tour. The restaurant we were taken to for lunch was awful. There was no distance between the tables and chairs. And you can imagine, the restaurant was packed with other groups. No adaption of any Covid measurements. Most of the time, you sit in a dirty van on this tour. We were told, the tour would last about 6 hours. Well, we were on tour for 11,5 hours from pick up to getting back to the hotel. I would not recommend this tour company, as they put deliberately their participants' health at risk. The handle the whole pandemic in a careless way. Basically they don't care at all. Their certification of the WTTC safe travel label is simply a joke. AVOID TO BOOK ANY TOURS AT ANY COSTS!!! I was also told that the tour would be charged in USD. Well, they charged my credit card in MXN which resulted to a higher rate and the tour got more expensive per person. This tour company is simply unprofessional in any sense.
