Sunrise kayak on Xochimilco canals, learn Mexico City origins, meet axolotls at the ajolotario, small group tour for beginners.
“Alan was the best. Very kind and very knowledgable of the area as a local himself. One of the best sunrises of our lives and would highly recommend booking with him if you are considering it.”
Sunrise kayaking from Cuemanco through Xochimilco canals past chinampas, with wildlife and history from an English guide in a small group.
“Top-notch experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City. The scenery was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. We got lucky to catch the sunrise, and Grant's explanation was very insightful. It was like an intriguing Mexican historical lesson combined with ecology, it was not boring it was really interesting.”
Paddle Xochimilco at dawn, watch the sunrise behind volcanoes, enjoy an organic chinampa breakfast, and plant your own vegetables.
“This was one of our favorite experiences in Mexico City. Rise early to get to the Xochimilco canals to see wildlife, watch the sun come up, and enjoy a meal & hot coffee afterwards. The scenery is stunning. Wear layers. Plan to get wet from paddling. There are double & single kayaks. Bring gloves & a change of clothes. It’s worth the effort to see CDMX from a different angle. Our tour was completely in Spanish so be ready to exercise your listening & speaker skills or follow the crowd.”
Sunrise kayak through Xochimilco’s canals and chinampas: bird watching, axolotls, and an agroecological lesson with great guides.
“Such a wonderful tour, full of new information and unique experiences! Laila is so warm and inviting, providing so much context and translation assistance. The other guides (Juan and Diego) were so knowledgeable about the canals, chinampas, and farming practices. The chef (whose name i unfortunately missed) prepared us an astounding meal with products largely from the chinampa we visited.”
Kayak Xochimilco with a bilingual guide to see the Island of the Dolls and an axolotl sanctuary, plus birds and canal wildlife.
“We arrived on time, but the provider never showed up. After waiting, he called 20 minutes past the start time, and the activity was canceled. We had already spent money on taxis for nothing. Very disappointing and unprofessional. I expected much better reliability.”
Kayak Xochimilco’s canals for 2–3 hours with an English guide, life jacket, and chances to spot wildlife and the trajineras.
“Great tour. I attended a 10 am tour and was the only attendee, but still had two tour guides. Both were great, friendly, and well-prepared. They knew lots about the Xochimilco, its biodiversity and history, so I highly recommend you ask any questions that peaks your interest. They also encouraged taking lots of photos and helped with taking some photos of myself. The tour was around 2.5 hours and explores a large portion of the waterways in the area, including seeing local life and lots of wild animals. I highly recommend this tour as a nature getaway from the busyness of Mexico City.”
