Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. How To Get to Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve from Tulum. While navigating the mangrove forests, seagrass beds, barrier reef My friend kept calling the lagoon "Muyil" but I'm thinking it's Sian Ka'an preserve, but anyway.....I did the 1.5 hour tour, floated down the narrow channels. It was Truly breathtaking. The boats are quite fast and zip through the canals making it exciting. I didn't have any concerns about crocodiles, BUT we definitely saw what looked like crocodile eggs during the walk to the boat (after exiting the water).
The canal tour was beautiful. The Sian Ka'an is breathtaking.

Being so big, there are multiple access points into Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. We saw a crocodile, manatee, and lots of different birds. An incredible place, which very simply said, can change your whole perspective on things. Sian Ka'an showed me Wild Dolphins at play and I can even imagine one blowing his air hole at us as if to say hello back.
