Great tour of the Sian Kaan nature reserve in Tulum, Mexico. Well worth the $$. Our guide, Aldo was excellent in not only his education, knowledge and presentation of his area, but in taking care of us and making us feel comfortable in his surroundings. Loved the natural exposure to the area and the simple things (like the different aromas... More

Aldo is a great tour guide. He is professional and he knows a great deal about trees, birds, fish, and history. He is an excellent host and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him and our party of four. Lunch was fantastic and the tour was great fun.

Yes, this tour guide is more expensive than others, but I think we got a better experience overall. Other tour operators we saw through the area had a lot more people crammed into their boats. We shared our tour boat with only one other couple. Aldo very obviously cares deeply about this region and is very knowledgeable about the flora... More

What a day! What an experience. Aldo's love of the area and his skill as a guide resulted in a day of seeing many varieties of sea and land birds from sandpipers to a stork to buzzards to several osprey, as well as crocodiles, barracuda, and manatees. We snorkled (one hour by our choice) on a small section of the... More

An expert naturalist who delights in sharing his knowledge, Aldo is the perfect guide to the Sian Ka'an. Born and raised in Punta Allen, Aldo has an instinctive understanding of the area that guarantees a delightful day out. Floating down the canal was a hit with children, teenagers and adults alike. The perfect host, Aldo produces delicious fruit and hibiscus... More

My family (me, husband and our 7-year old son) took the snorkel and canal floating tour while we were in Akumal in february. We all agree that it was the best day of out vacation! Thanks to our exceptional guide Aldo, we learned so much about the animals and nature of the area! We saw lots of fish and beautiful... More

We wanted to take a break from our resort and learn something about the area’s unique ecosystem in the Sian Ka’an reserve. We chanced upon the “Visit Sian Ka’an” website and were happy to find a small group tour led by a local naturalist and environmentalist. Aldo Ancona proved to be a friendly and knowledgeable guide who clearly loves showing... More

We took the Muyjil tour last week. It turned out to be a private tour of Sian Ka'an since the other couple didnt show up. Aldo is from the area and an excellent guide with a tremendous knowledge of the area, its history and people. Our tour was a blend of beach, lagoons the Maya canal and Mayan ruins with... More

We have only explored a little of the massive Sian Ka'an Biosphere which we understand is the single largest piece of undeveloped land in North America. In fact there is some development but not terribly intrusive and the amount of prisitine wilderness we have seen so far is breathtaking. We have explored on our own and a knowledgable guide would...
