Mangroves of Dzinitun

Reviewed By JKozma86

With my girlfriend we took the kayak tour through the mangroves and our guide was Eliseo. Eliseo is a local and very knowledgeable about the whole area. He was one of the people involved in the restoration of the whole mangrove. 15 years there was a lot less of the mangrove and through the hard work done by Eliseo and others, the mangrove is healthy and flourishing, with tons of birds and other wildlife. Very impressive!! Went we went, there were unfortunately no flamingos to see, but through clear and prompt communication with Jose we were aware of this beforehand. The kayak tour took a little bit more than an hour and Eliseo spotted lots of birds for us (incl. an owl [we were apparently lucky to see one], an eagle that caught a snake, woodpecker and others). Going through the mangroves was very fascinating and once we were out in the open we had a bit of a workout as the wind was against us. But we did not mind one bit :) Overall, good fun, very insightful and definitely worth a visit!! Eliseo also gave us some tips on a nature park in the area as well as great restaurant in the area

Beautiful ride down the river in a lancha to see hundreds of flamingos and walk the boardwalk in the mangrove forest where we saw other birds and crocodiles,

Playa Norte Celestun

Reviewed By K4649HWnicoleh - Sydney, Australia

Really nice tour on the boat to see the flamingos from a respectable distance and through the mangroves. We also visited a natural spring that you could swim in, although we did also see a crocodile there too, so swim at your own risk. A few stores to buy souvenirs too.
