An immersive journey through the heart of the Maya Empire and Colonial Mexico.
Embark on a definitive 7-day Yucatan Heritage Tour designed for travelers who want to dive deep into Mexico’s best-kept secrets. This expedition takes you far beyond the crowds, exploring the most prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the “Deep South.” From snorkeling in the Puerto Morelos Marine Park to navigating the pristine wetlands of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, this journey blends intense nature encounters with ancient history.
Accompanied by expert naturalist guides, you will explore the towering pyramids of Calakmul hidden deep within the jungle and witness a biological wonder: the flight of 25 million bats at dusk. This route also showcases Mexico’s colonial elegance, with private walking tours through the colorful streets of Campeche and Mérida. Every day includes educational lectures on Maya biology, archaeology, and local ecosystems, culminating in a visit to the legendary Chichén Itzá and the flamingo-filled lagoons of Río Lagartos. This is the ultimate nature and culture expedition for the conscious explorer.
During the whale shark Season (May-September), the whale sharks feed themselves with plankton in the water surroundings of Isla Mujeres. You have the opportunity to snorkel with these gentle giants. The past ten years, Cancun became the best place to spot Whale Sharks. In a one hour boat ride from Cancun you are able to spot big groups of Whale Sharks. Snorkel with this biggest fish in the world is a once in a lifetime experience.
We offer a one day Whale Shark Tour as well, but if you want to spend more time with these incredible fish than this trip is made for you. You have the chance to make a perfect picture from (and with) the Whale Sharks. You can even analyze if you’re the first one who spotted a particular Whale Shark. If you are, you are able to give this Whale Shark a name. In this 7 day tour you will learn a lot about the Whale Shark, their behavior and their environment. Thereby, you will also encounter other species living in this area, like: Mobulas, Golden Cownose Rays, Manta Rays and even Dolphins.
During this tour, you will leave to the water surroundings where the Whale Sharks live, for 4 days in a row. Really, this tour is so much more than a wildlife experience. This tour is a real once in a lifetime experience, which you will remember yourself for decades.
