Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Ria Lizards Biosphere Reserve on this private boat tour of mangrove canals and calm waters. Your certified federal guide will help you spot wild animals like pink flamingos, crocodiles and more than 400 species of birds. Sail some 35 kilometers through mangroves and wetlands while learning about the ecology and traditions of the Yucatan coast. Visit the flamingo feeding area, observe pelicans and herons and, if you are lucky, spot a crocodile resting on the shore. Experience the traditional Mayan mud bath, an ancient skin treatment that uses fine white clay with natural exfoliating properties. Then head to an unspoilt beach to rinse, swim and relax in a tranquil paradise. We also take you to hidden places and quiet areas that many other tours do not visit, so you can truly connect with nature and enjoy every moment.
Your experience
Stop 1
is a two-hour boat ride where you can explore the majestic mangroves through the estuary canals, watching a wide variety of birds. Hopefully, we'll see crocodiles in their natural habitat to photograph them. Then we will continue and, not far away, we will reach where the beautiful pink flamingos are fed, where we can observe them from a suitable and allowed distance, without forgetting that we are in a protected area. After a brief stay with them, they will apply a skin treatment called "Mayan Bath" (exfoliating mud). This mud is excavated and not exposed to the weather. To finish the walk, we return to Rio Lagartos beach to remove the clay and enjoy the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Don’t be too excited and come visit this wonderful sanctuary, the “Ría Lizards Biosphere Reserve”, and live an unforgettable experience.
