After the van ride and upon arrival in the village, visitors meet their guide and enjoy a regional breakfast to fuel up before setting sail. Once at sea, the search for dolphins begins. There are no artificial routes here; this is all about wildlife. As we travel along the coast towards Yalahau, the journey becomes an immersive experience observing the natural habitat, where you can spot dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, coastal birds, and diverse mangrove landscapes. Upon arrival at Yalahau, the atmosphere changes completely. Enjoy free time to relax by the natural spring, unwind in hammocks, and connect with one of the most tranquil spots on the Yucatán coast. Continue with a leisurely return, gently sailing back to El Cuyo along the same route. Back on land, the experience continues with an interpretive tour of El Cuyo while visitors refresh themselves with snacks and drinks. More than just exploring the town, the idea is to understand the relationship between the community, the sea, and the ecosystems surrounding this part of the peninsula. The tour ends back in the town center, where you'll have free time in El Cuyo to enjoy ice cream, the sea, and why not… even a beer. The last activity will be a gathering point where you'll enjoy fresh, seasonal ceviche before heading back to Quintana Roo.
