Muyil River Float
The Muyil river float will take you to one of the more spectacular locations in the Riviera Maya. You will be entering into Sian Ka’an reserve and discovering a beautiful natural area. None of this is manmade except if you count the Mayans cutting a canal over 1000 years ago to connect the lagoons.
What makes this so spectacular is the fact that this is all ground water flowing out towards the ocean. The water has been filtered through the limestone and is crystal clear. When you enter the “river” to swim, there is a current and you are gently floated along the river through an area about 4-6 feet deep. Along the banks are mangrove and savanna areas with local flora and fauna.
What to expect when going to Muyil
You’ll be arriving to the first part of the tour: Muyil ruins. Our certified guide will show you around and tell you a bit about Maya history. After that we takr a 15 minute walk on a board walk straight through the mangroves to the lagoon. When you arrive to the lagoon, you will get in a small boat. Depending on your group size, you might need to share the boat with others. The local guides all belong to the local community. You will be supporting the local people by taking this tour.
The boat will take off across the first lagoon and then through a narrow canal to the other lagoon. After you cross the second lagoon you will enter the area where you will start the Muyil river float.
Just where you enter is a remnant of the Mayan culture. After you finish your river swim you will return here and be able to take photos.
Floating along in the river
Either the boat captain or your tour guide will show you how to wear the life vest upside down so you can sit in it. It seems very silly to have it like a diaper but it makes sense when you are in the river. This way you can sit and float along the river. Your upper body will be more free. The current will take you along and your total time will be around 40 minutes in the water. This is a super tranquil experience.
Finishing your river float
At the end of the river your captain will bring your shoes to the dock where you can put them on and walk the boardwalk back to the boat. The surrounding area is beautiful savanna with pockets of water and small fish. This area is also home to over 300 species of birds, so keep a look out for them.
Once you arrive back at the boat, your captain will take you back across the lagoons to the dock. Here your van will be waiting after which we take you back to Tulum to enjoy some delicious, authentic Mexican tacos with handmade corn tortillas.
