Kayaking in the Mayan Riviera offers excitement and spectacular natural beauty, making paddling through the area’s tranquil turquoise waters a favorite activity for visitors. 

Ecological reserves are bursting with plant and animal life and coral reefs. Mayan Riviera kayakers enjoy pristine colorful scenery, including cenotes (sinkholes with rocky edges containing freshwater), mangroves, and other monumental natural settings.

Mayan Riviera kayaking can be enjoyed in several locations, including between the beaches along the coast, especially around Playa del Carmen; the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve; and in the surrounding eco parks.
