About this experience
We offer water, sodas, beer, fresh seasonal fruit and homemade guacamole to enjoy right on the boat!
After your tour, feel free to relax on the beach in a hammock and use our kayaks and paddle boards. Our area of beach is right alongside Hotel 40 Cañones. You can also spend some time at the Barba Negra beach club for some food and drinks.
Our family business focuses on sustainability and experiences that provide a lasting impression. We work hard to make sure our guests feel comfortable while creating a connection with the natural world. We also have over 50 years of experience in Mahahual!
We use Penn fishing equipment and skirted ballyhoo to visit the areas with the highest probabilities for a great catch. We also use semi-professional snorkeling equipment to make sure guests are comfortable while snorkeling, which is crucial for a memorable experience.
Our experiences are provided in Spanish and in English in order to always provide clear, smooth communication.
