Do you love the beach? Do you love adventure? This is the trip for you! On this trip, we will combine adventure and exploration with quiet down time on the beach. Experience some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, with white powdery sand and clear turquoise waters from the ground, as well as from a birds eye view, as you fly along the coast of the Riviera Maya in your own airplane. On our way to a remote archeological site, we will over-fly the Sian Kaan Biosphere reserve, the Bacalar Lagoon and the Chinchorro coral reef, part of the second largest barrier reef in the world. Explore an eco-park featuring intriguing subterranean caverns and get acquainted with the local wildlife. In between adventures, while relaxing under a palm tree sipping your favorite drink, you will have time to unwind and enjoy that book you have been meaning to read.
