Crocodile, dolphins, amorous turtles, bird island, and the beautiful reserve, we were very fortunate with the weather but due to recent storms the snorkelling was not as clear under water.
Very well organised, and even though it’s not that far from Tulum the dirt track roads are very slow.
A must do if you are in the area, and hopefully the ongoing expansion of Tulum doesn’t affect this beautiful place.
I’m not sure what conservation work is in place but it really needs protection.

This tour is amazing. We had Nora as a tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. She spoke 3 different languages and explained everything in all 3 languages. We had lunch in Punta Allen, the most beautiful little town. We swam in the natural pools and it was absolutely breathtaking. It is a long, bumpy ride to get to the boat, but 100% worth it. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, lots of birds, and manatees.

Great trip, on which we were so lucky to have encountered many animals. Still, the encounters were kept brief as it may stress out the animals. Knowledge of tourguide Nora was excellent, as well as her enthousiasm. Also, the organization of the whole trip came across as very professional. Next ste: electric bus and boat?

We had an incredible time!
Angel was a great guide, spoke fluent English Spanish and French. Very knowledgeable, easygoing and funny.
The tour itself is super fun and we got to see many different animals such as birds, dolphins, sea turtle and even a shark! The visit to Punta Allen was a pleasant surprise, a relaxing and unique location. It was very important to us to find a tour that does not abuse or take advantage of animals, and I can say they did everything to be respectful of the wildlife. Would definitely recommend!
One thing to keep in mind - the road in the reserve and the boat ride are VERY bumpy. If you suffer from back/neck pain or get nauseous easily I would not recommend, since these rides are not short and you cannot avoid them. Other than that everything was perfect :)

100% recommended excursion!!! They picked us up super punctually at our hotel. The day was spectacular, you see many animals and incredible places. We were able to see a crocodile, numerous types of birds, dolphins, huge turtles, a cat shark about 2 meters long and best of all, we were able to see a manatee and swim with it in a large reef, amazing!!! The stop to eat in a beautiful place and delicious food. Above all, we would like to highlight our wonderful guide NORA, a charming person with excellent treatment towards everyone, it is clear that she loves her job. We would repeat without a doubt!!!

Excellent trip. We were privileged to see so many birds, turtles, dolphins, iguana/lizards as well as an aguti and coatimundi. The land/sea scape was stunning and our guide Nora was fantastic. She was friendly and gave us so much information, not only about the birds and animals but the flora and fauna aswell.
It was thrilling to snorkel and see such a huge reef still alive and thriving. Parrot fish, Ray, Zebra fish and a large Nurse Shark were spotted. So many places I've visited, especially in SE Asia have dying reefs because of pollution and climate change but I was amazed to see so much activity amongst this one.
The bus journey was quite long and may have suited a 4 wheel drive vehicle better but it was to be expected when entering the jungle. The bus was comfortable and had air conditioning and we were provided with a cooler of drinks throughout the day and an amazing buffet lunch in Punta Allen. Thankyou Nora and team, you made our holiday one to remember

Amazing excursion. Our guide Macarena was amazing. Full of joy and energy, giving a ton of anecdotes about the biosphère ans the animals, which made the tour even better. Definitely would do again. The boat captain was amazing at spotting marine animals.

Great outing, very well organized. We pick you up at the hotel and bring you back, an hour's journey on a jungle path (we saw a raccoon), and then a boat trip to see the birds(sea eagles, pelicans, cranes, …). We were lucky enough to see a crocodile, dolphins, a turtle, a shark. We swam with a manatee thanks to our pilot who saw it, and on the way back a mother with her baby. I liked this animal-friendly ride, we don't harass them, we observe them for 5 minutes and the pilot leaves. I recommend 100%. Thanks to Mylene our guide on this outing, who shared with us her passion for this beautiful place.

The tour started very early. We left Playa Del Carmen for Tulum in a very comfortable van. Our guide, Rafa, was always very helpful. My wife and I were the only Brazilians in a group of French and Spanish people, and Rafa served everyone carefully and attentively. Always calling us by name, he showed, presented and explained about the places, the fauna and flora. In fact, this is a very rich tour. An immersion in the beautiful nature of the place. Lunch is included in the tour. Despite being very simple, it is tasty, if the beautiful beach where we stopped to eat wasn't enough. Unfortunately we didn't manage to see dolphins, but that didn't lessen our gratitude for being in that place. I highly recommend it!
