CDMX · CANOES & KAYAKS
These are the 6 canoes & kayaks tours worth a day of the trip, each with its price, its length and the one detail that sets it apart. If you only compare a few, compare the top three.

Paddle Xochimilco’s canals at sunrise, learn Mexico City’s origins, and meet axolotls with a small English or Spanish group.
“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.”
Paddle Xochimilco’s ancient canals with guide Grant, spotting birds, fish, and working chinampas on a peaceful small-group morning tour.
“This is an excellent way to see the Xochimilcos. I’m still in awe that this beautiful nature area exists within the city. Grant is so knowledgeable about the area, its history and current affairs. I can’t recommend this highly enough!”
Paddle Xochimilco at sunrise, spot birds and axolotls, visit chinampas, and enjoy a farm breakfast in Mexico City.
“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.”
Paddle Xochimilco at sunrise, watch volcano views, eat an organic chinampa breakfast, and learn about Mexico City’s living canal culture.
“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.”

“I wish I could give this tour 0 stars. Initially my tour was booked for 10 am on Thursday and I was unable to attend but the guide, Roberto, encouraged me to rebook for the following morning for the sunrise kayak. I really appreciated him being so accommodating and he assured me he would be at the meeting spot at 5 am. The next day I woke up at 4 am and took an uber to the same meeting point I had met him at the previous day. I arrived at 4:45 am and waited there for one hour on a dark, deserted street. I managed to get him on…”
