2.Kayak adventure through Laguna Nichupté in Cancun

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 175 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $52Top rated

Paddle Laguna Nichupté by kayak with a small guided group, birdwatching stops, mangrove tunnels, and photos included from Conexión Nativa Cancún.

“Lovely experience - suitable for those who haven’t kayaked in a while and those who are experienced. Pace is gentle and we did see some wildlife (mainly birds) tucked away in the mangroves- felt like a quiet oasis even though it’s just off the main road! If you are doing the sunset option - highly recommend bringing mosquito repellent. Towards the end as we are disembarking the kayaks and putting them away - we were all bitten very quickly and quite a lot! It’s obviously a favourite place to wait for the tourists! Jorge was a great guide.”

“It was a very nice experience. Our first times kayaking ever before and the instructor was clear and what you had to do to control the kayak was very easy and straight forward. Wish I brought bug spray because I was almost eaten alive lol. But other than that it was a great experience to enjoy. I just wish we could’ve seen more of the sunset, we saw it for a bit and it was beautiful but we had to keep going with our route back to base. Loved it!”

“This trip was a highlight of our honeymoon - waking up early was absolutely worth it. Andrés was incredibly knowledgeable & so passionate about the environment and wildlife that it was inspiring to be around. Being out on the open water was so peaceful and we were able to experience a ton of marine life (like a giant stingray right under our boat and listening to a tiger heron). This is the real thing, focused on what Cancún really has to offer, and was not touristy or packed with people. We had such a fun time learning from Andrés, and highly recommend this trip!!”
