Hi Guy's, welcome to this video where we explore the beautiful village of Punta Allen within the SIAN KA'AN biosphere reserve a UNESCO world heritage site of 1.3 million acres in the State of Quintana Roo, Mexico.
This is not the easiest place to get to. Access is via the end of the beach road in Tulum town and then your journey really begins!! It took us two and a half hours to drive the rustic road to the village from Tulum. The road is full of potholes and we only averaged speeds of 10 to 30 KM per hour. Is the drive worth it? Watch and see.
We spent two nights in the village and our accommodation was located only a few feet from the beautiful Caribbean Sea where we woke up each morning to a wonderful sunrise. On day two we hired a private boat to explore the Lagoon and then out to the Caribbean Sea to spot wildlife and snorkel. One can see many different animals, birds and sea creatures on this eco tour. These tours are considered wild in that there are no animals in captivity and you are relying solely on your guide to spot Dolphins, Manatee's and sea Turtles to name but a few. Was the tour worth it, did we get to see nature at its best? Please watch the video and make up your own mind. We hope you enjoy

Thank God Punta Allen hasn’t been wrecked! I have watched with sadness as Tulum went from an outpost where you could rent a palapa to camp near the beach to an overcrowded, expensive zoo. Hopefully they will never fix that road.

Looks like fun. Today I cleaned the kitchen! Lol, you guys are living. Now I have your theme song stuck in my head and will hum it while I finish up other weekend chores.

Awesome video! We're heading to Punta Allen next November to check off the hubby's bucket list item of fishing in Punta Allen. We're thinking we'll rent a car so I've been really trying to get a true sense for the road (have heard horror stories!). Our dream is to retire in Mexico also but for now, we're living vicariously through you!! 😃

@RickRackTravels 2 года назад

Thank you for your lovely comment Beth. Fishing in Punta Allen is definitely on Ricky’s bucket list too. Please let us know what you thought of it there and have an awesome time. Appreciate you watching our videos

Thank you for this! I really enjoyed this and this is exactly what I am looking for including the rustic feel. Wondering about access to basic needs like groceries, etc. while staying there?

@CancunCindy 3 года назад

Wow! It looks stunning there! I think I decided we'll risk the drive. I would love to see turtles, dolphins, all the wildlife in a natural setting. Your videos turned out great. Showed the gorgeous colors. Well done.

@RickRackTravels 3 года назад

Thank you so much Cindy 🥰 yes- it is a really remarkable and beautiful place ! Glad to hear you are risking the road ! ( we think it’s totally worth it )

@TheDawnandGregShow 3 года назад

Awesome video!! We will definitely put it on our list of things to do.

@RickRackTravels 3 года назад

Thank you so much guys !! That’s great - very cool place

@darrellvivianpeters6631 3 года назад

Wow guys that looked amazing....we would absolutely love that area what a great adventure and you were so fortunate to see so much wildlife...totally agree you need to have an understanding that it is a natural setting for the wildlife they are not "on show" they are just in their natural habitat sometimes if your really lucky you can see them sometimes you don't take it al in stride!!...That baby dolphin was amazing!!!...we would have to rent a car to go there when we come but I think it would be worth it!! Thanks for the video we never considered going there but we will now!!..Viv

@nathanbristow8194 3 года назад

Hey Guys!! thanks for the great videos. how much was the hotel room for 2 nights please, and restaurant prices? Thanks.

@RickRackTravels 3 года назад

Hi Nathan, Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks so much. I’ve dropped the link to the boat we stayed in and also the fisherman lodges website. It gives all their rates. Breakfast was included with the stay and we found dinners reasonably priced (also considering they have to boat in or drive in groceries) I hope this info helps. ascensionbayflyfishing.com/ abnb.me/RDuw9xxn9fb

@taramccallvideo 2 года назад

thanks for the wonderful tour! we are headed to akumal soon and are wondering if you need to drive to Punta Allen to get the boat tours? Do you know if you can get those boat tours closer to the Muyil entrance of Sian Ka'an?

@RickRackTravels 2 года назад

Hi, yes from memory you can certainly arrange a tour from Muyil. We actually did a video on Muyil and had a guide for the tour of the ruins. The guide also does boat tours and speaks excellent English. He is an expert on Birds and will tell you all the names etc. I believe we linked his contact details in the video. We would highly recommend this guide his name is Eddie and you can find him at the Muyil ruins. If Eddie can't take you on the tour himself he will get you sorted out with a decent guide.

@@RickRackTravels terrific. thanks so much.

@Perculsion 3 года назад

Hey, great vid, looking to go there this week, how were the roads? Was a 4x4 essential?

@RickRackTravels 3 года назад

Thanks for watching. And no - Definitely not. We don’t have a 4x4 and saw some cars travelling the road. Take it slow and you will be fine. Have an awesome time !
