Take a long boat ride at the beginning to see the different types of birds. The guides will try to get as close as they can to the sand dunes and you will be able to take in the best view from the boat. If you are lucky, you'll be able to spot crocodiles in the natural habitat.

Later, go back to Río Lagartos Lagoon passing in front of the town towards the end of Río Lagartos. Here you'll make a stop and you'll have the opportunity to do an optional exfoliation with sand mud, a Mayan ritual. Your last stop will be at the end of Río Lagartos to swim exactly where the river connects with the sea.
