What you can expect

  • We'll explore the mangrove on a safari, sailing through the mangrove lagoon in a rectangular “trajinera”-style canoe with a capacity for a maximum of two to three people per canoe, in search of the famous birds known as “flamingos,” which are unique to Sisal in this part of the Yucatán Peninsula.

    The sightseeing tour mainly focuses on looking for these bird species and observing their behaviour while we enjoy the scenery and take photos.

    We use canoe-like boats similar to “trajineras” so that guests can have their hands free to take photos or observe with binoculars comfortably.

    This ecotourism experience starts in Sisal. Our meeting point is our base of operations located in the magical town of Sisal, where we'll begin the experience (tours) with an introductory briefing and safety instructions.

    We'll start the adventure in a “tuk-tuk”-style vehicle, ideal for enjoying the safari-style scenery in the open air without windows, to reach the right spot in the reserve, where we'll unload the rectangular canoe-style boats.

    Upon arriving at the special spot in the reserve where the flamingos are, we'll start paddling the canoe to get as close as allowed without disturbing them. We'll observe how they fly, behave, and land in a spectacular landscape.
