About this experience

Sail into the magic of Sian Ka’an at the golden hour. Nothing can beat the incredible landscapes and vistas of this tropical paradise as the sun sets behind the mangrove forest while you float on the lagoon.
The combination of land, sea and sky all merging into a kaleidoscope of inspirational colours: hues of reds, oranges & purples shift across the horizon until the sun disappears to reveal the first stars above.
Imagine this stunning panorama, alone in the middle of a tropical lagoon, with only birds nesting nearby for company. The beauty and tranquility of Sian Ka’an is heightened at this hour and this sunset is one you will definitely remember forever.
Mark a special occasion with this superb sortie, or just come to experience it with someone special. Sian Ka’an is an absolute must-do in Tulum, and the sunset version adds a layer of magic unseen by others...

Sian Ka’an is a tropical wetland paradise – on this tour we visit a thin strip of land bordered by empty stretches of beach, lagoons and lush vegetation on a boat ride that takes us across diverging coastal ecosystems, through mangrove forest and out to the sea.
Watch the beautiful Sunset from the boat and enjoy a delicious Sunset pic nic.
