The ruins of Muyil are a hidden gem, our expert guides will lead you through this wonderful site with tales of calendars, ceremony and Spanish invaders. Once we reach the Muyil lagoon, we 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 Sea. We float for over 30 minutes surrounded by mangroves, orchids, bromeliads and cacti while we hear the sounds of nature. A delicious Mexican food tasting is included at the end the tour. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Starts 12:30: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €199 per person - Duration: 6h - Rating: 4.93/5 from 846 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Mexico Kan Tours - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: German, Portuguese, English, Italian, French, Spanish - Start times: 12:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-09 ## Reviews 4.93 from 846 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 99% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 835 of 846. - 5 stars: 801 (95%) - 4 stars: 34 (4%) - 3 stars: 9 (1%) - 2 stars: 2 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Hotel pickup and drop-off in Tulum - Professional guide - Bottled water - Driver/guide - Snacks - Transport by air-conditioned minivan ## Not included - Extra Transportation Fees (North of Tulum) - $10USD per person extra for pick-ups between Conrad Tulum by Hilton and Puerto Aventuras. - $20USD per person extra for pick-ups between Puerto Aventuras and Paradisus Playa del Carmen. - $30USD per person extra for pick-ups between Sandos Caracol PDC and Iberostar Gran Paraíso. - $40USD per person extra for pick-ups between Playa Maroma (Vidanta) and Cancun Airport Area. - $45USD per person extra for pick-ups between Cancun Airport Area and Cancun Downtown. - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Zona Arqueologica de Muyil** (2h; admission included) - Explore the archeological site of Muyil with our guide, and walk through lush jungle. 2. **Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve** (1h; admission included) - Explore the fresh water lagoons by boat, float in a lazy river. 3. **Tulum** (1h) - Taste delicious Mexican Tacos. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 12:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-09 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
