After the van ride and upon arrival in town, visitors meet their guide and enjoy a regional breakfast to fuel up before setting sail. We board our boat and, once at sea, begin our search for dolphins. Here, the focus is on wildlife. As we travel along the coast, the journey becomes an experience of observing flora and fauna, where we can spot dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and coastal birds. The voyage continues towards La Angostura, passing through various natural areas where birdwatching opportunities arise, including lagoons and salt flats. Upon reaching the nesting area, visitors can observe the congregation of flamingos in their natural habitat, the RÃa Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. Then, a peaceful return journey, sailing gently towards El Cuyo. Back on land, the experience continues with an interpretive walk through 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.
