Kayaking in Campeche is a favorite activity for those who like to mess around on the water – the beaches in Campeche and its surrounding areas offer kayakers the chance to discover truly beautiful surroundings.

Most kayak enthusiasts head to Playa Bonita (Beautiful Beach) as it is just 5 miles south from the city, and its gentle waves make it ideal for a boat trip that is fun and safe.

Other prime Campeche kayaking locations include the Los Petenes and the  Biosphere Reserve Rio Celestun, where you can paddle through tunnels under branches, and wonder at the colorful birdlife and lush vegetation.

The Campamentos Tortugueros de Xpicob and Chenkán turtle sanctuaries offer kayaking as do the many beaches near the city, where the phenomena of bioluminescence can be seen from July through January.
