Sian Ka'an Biosphere Tours
Sian Ka'an, meaning "where the sky is born," is a biosphere reserve located just outside Cancun and is made up of more than 1.3 million acres of tropical forest and its ecosystem. With mangroves, lowland forests and part of a barrier reef, this environment also includes more than 800 protected plants and over 350 birds and wildlife species, including jaguars, howler monkeys and crocodiles.
There are several tours available, ranging from an eight-hour forest and float tour that combines walking and swimming to a three-hour "mayaking" tour that provides canoes for paddling through the waters of the ecosystem. There is also a three-hour birding and natural history tour, among others.
