A must not miss

Published on Nov, 2024

Oh wow, what an incredible day. Our guide was Angel and he helped keep energy high, smiles on our faces, and taught us so much about the history and the ecology of the area. You can't miss this, and doing this with anyone but Pixan would be a mistake :) Mil gracias a todos, os agradecemos mucho.

Totally worth it!

Sea Manatees and reef

Published on Oct, 2024

This an amazing tour of the reef and wildlife. Seeing manatees up close in the wild was spectacular and a bucket list item. We had fun and the guide was brilliant.
