This list gathers the best ways into Sian Ka’an, the UNESCO biosphere beginning just south of Tulum. My favorite entry is Muyil, where you float down an ancient limestone canal in a life vest while the current does the work. Boat days toward Punta Allen add dolphins and reef; just know that access road is famously rough.
Experience the beauty of Sian Kaan on a full-day tour from Tulum. Explore the stunning nature reserve, go snorkeling in the clear waters, and learn about the area's rich biodiversity.
