About Us

Community Tours Sian Ka'an is a tourism service alliance of three tour operators based in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Mayan for "where the sky is born," Sian Ka'an is the home to dozens of families as well as an abundance of wildlife. The commitment of each tour provider and guide to ecologically sustainable tourism distinguishes Community Tours Sian Ka'an from any other tour operator in the Biosphere Reserve.

The members of Community Tours Sian Ka'an are based in Punta Allen and Muyil, two small communities within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. In an area that can likely see more than 30,000 tourists each year, Community Tours Sian Ka'an is committed to ensuring the highest quality tourism experience to each visitor. Our commitment to conservation in our tourism practices, and the local knowledge of our guides makes for a genuinely different and exciting adventure.

Our tour itineraries are based on three principles which reflect our local economic impact as well as our commitment to conservation:

1. Ensuring personalized experiences in small groups that minimize ecological impact.
2. Offering tours that provide adventure and education about the challenges to conservation within the reserve.
3. Providing genuine cultural exchanges.
