About This Adventure

If you want to explore the lagoon by yourself in your own kayak, you got to the right place.

Whether you're with a group of friends or family - we also got you covered. Complete the rent and get out on the water!

We rent only high quality double-seated kayaks. All of our equipment is stable, user-friendly, and great for first timers and experienced kayakers alike. All rentals include paddle(s), life jacket(s), instructions, safety tips and recommendations for some of our favorite places to kayak.

All of our Kayaks are double seated (sit-on-top) and are suitable for 1 or 2 people.

  • 1 Hour rental for 1 person: $250 MXN
  • 2 Hours rental for 1 person: $400 MXN
  • Full Day Pass for 1 person: $450 MXN

*** Additional person (in the same Kayak) is priced at additional $100 pesos.** For example 2 people sharing 1 Kayak with full day pass, would cost $450 + $100 = $550 pesos in total.
