Great nature reserve. We spotted dolphins, manatees, turtles and many other animals.
The road from Tulum to Punta Allen is very very bad. A lot of (big) holes and bumps. Driving here is very slow and bumpy.
Once you're on a boat it's absolutely great. Definitely worth a visit.

We love visiting the Sian Ka'an and have returned multiple times. Luis, Mirian and Daniel in the buffet restaurants take very good care of you and are attentive. Victor on the animation team leads very goof aqua gym sessions, paying attention to any injuries and giving advice rather than pushing you. Love this hotel!
Give yourself a day to explore The Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'an. Be forewarned that the dirt road/path is full of potholes. It takes a while to drive through the dirt road envelope by a heavy tropical forest, mangroves, lagoons, and marshes. There are many beaches to find and wildlifes to see.
Some areas are privately owned, but we found a little nice beach area that we were able to enjoy.
The drive to this reserve was 2 hours from Cancun, but we spent nearly a whole day here exploring and driving through the area and back.

Turtles, crabs, dolphins, crocodiles and Coral reef. Bird Islands (mangrove Islands) and lots of beautiful scenery. I fully recommend visiting.
Clearly none of the entrance fee (105 peso pp) is going towards repairing facilities/roads or litter picking. Complete waste of time; you likely won’t see any wildlife other than birds, the road is in dire need or repair, litter is EVERYWHERE - the beach is disgusting with litter all over the place (that’s where there’s public access - many areas are private). Expected more for a protected area.
Also no fuel anywhere once you’re out of Tulum so take extra or watch the gage. Better to spend your time in a national park where money is spent actually conserving it, rather than leaving fishing nets and broken beer bottles strewn all over the beach.

A wonderful park which definitely deserves a visit. Make sure you get a good tour that takes you snorkelling to the reef
Today 22 April 2023 it was world's earth day and we did a beach clean up in the Reserva Sian Ka'an.
We first stopped at the narrowest part, where at one side was the mangrove and at the other side the sea & beach.
Here we saw a crocodile and a manatee. As all volunteers came together we went to the actual place where the clean up was.
There were a lot of volunteers participating. We went with 7 persons of Infinity2diving from Tulum.
We gathered all together a lot of plastic garbage.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful places on earth. Here you have the opportunity to see lots of wildlife like crocodiles, manatees, dolphins, turtles and more then 300 different species of birds. The turcoise water around Punta Allen is absolutely stunning!! Highly recommended visiting Sian Ka'an.
