Detailed itinerary
1
Ge ready for the adventure of a lifetime. You will be picked up in a comfortable, airconditioned private vehicle by our licensed driver, accompanied by your personal tour guide. From Playa del Carmen we will be driving around 1 hour to reach the lagoon. Here you can find a bathroom and a place to change, as well as take a mandatory shower before we walk two minutes to the lagoon over a wooden path surrounded by mangroves and covered by trees. On this beautiful lagoon you will be given a small intro to paddleboarding, after which we will be exploring this amazing natural wonder on our paddleboards. There is time to swim, take a clay bath (voluntary or possibly unvoluntary when you fall in) and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this natural environment. You can try some special skills on your paddleboard as well, like a pivot turn or a yoga tree pose. Afterwards you can hang out a bit in the lagoon, try the natural fish spa, lie in a hammock and take some amazing selfies.

This is our stop on our way back after the lagoon tour, about 15 minutes driving. Here we will have some of the best tacos you can find in the Riviera Maya. Vegetarian options are available. For sure you'll have worked up an appetite, so dig in! After that we will drive back to Playa del carmen or wherever we need to drop you off. If you want we'd be more than happy to stop somewhere to pick up a couple of cold beers.
