Hello! My name is Daniel Canul Li, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read a little bit about me. I’m 100% yucateco, born and raised right here. As a fourth generation Korean-Yucatecan, direct descendant of those who arrived to work in the henequen haciendas, my roots in this land run deep. I’m also a passionate collector of banknotes, hacienda tokens and historical documents from Yucatán. This hobby has given me a unique connection to the stories, people and historical moments that shaped the region. I’ve been a Federally Certified Guide since 2017, just as the law requires. Before guiding, I worked as a History teacher for primary and secondary students, an experience that taught me how to make the past engaging, relatable and enjoyable. My tours are all about showing you the Yucatán as we locals truly experience it, not the rehearsed routes or the overcrowded stops, and definitely nothing that feels mass-produced. I focus on the real, the meaningful, the unexpected, those small moments that stay with you long after the trip is over. Safety, good conversations, and genuine human connection are always part of my journeys. Making sure you feel comfortable and secure is essential to truly enjoying our time together. We can craft an experience that goes far beyond the tour itself, something worth remembering long after the day is over. I’d be truly honored to share my home, my culture and my stories with you. If you’re looking for an experience that feels personal, authentic, safe and created especially for you, I’d love to be your guide. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll never forget. I hope to meet you soon — let’s explore Yucatán together!

Experience the natural beauty of the Celestún Biosphere Reserve on a private boat ride through its stunning mangroves. This tour offers the unique opportunity to watch pink flamingos in their natural habitat, along with a variety of other bird species that make this area a true sanctuary for wildlife lovers. If we leave from Mérida the travel time will be one hour fifteen minutes approximately. Celestún is one of the highlights of Yucatán, and during flamingo season (November to March), it’s an experience you simply can’t miss. Enjoy this beautiful adventure privately whether it’s just you and your partner or with your family. But besides sailing, you'll have some time to enjoy a stunning beach too, and even get a bite to eat or a drink by the shore! I guarantee this experience will make for a memorable day discovering the beauty of Celestún.
•I'll pick you up from an agreed spot either in Progreso or in Merida (please select your preferred address when booking) and give you a welcome briefing, properly introducing myself in the process. •We'll then go on a roughly hour and a half long drive towards Celestún. •When we arrive, we'll get to a municipal booth to get our tickets to get on board the boat where we'll all put on life jackets and meet the boat Captain who'll do a safety briefing. •When we sail into the wetland, we'll keep our eyes open for flamingos and other wildlife. •Once we're done sailing, we will head to the beach which is only five minutes away. •On this beach, you could opt to taste some seafood, have a drink or or visit one of the local restaurants. •At last, we'll drive back to where I picked you up from, for the end of the tour.

If your group consisted of up to 3 travellers, we would use a Kia Seltos SUV. If you were in a larger group please contact me before booking so I could send you a customized version of this tour. Depending on the size of the group, we will use the most suitable vehicle. Rest assured vehicles are comfortable and equipped with air conditioning. All vehicles I use are registered with federal license plates specifically for tourism, as required by Mexican law.
Mérida, Yucatán, 97050, Mexico
If you're a cruise ship passenger, once you exit the ship, you'll walk through souvenir shops until you reach the shuttle & taxi area. You'll be able to either take the free shuttle or a taxi (suggested). You'll be dropped off at the AutoProgreso bus station. Once there, look to your left for any of the 2 exit doors that are inaccurately marked as “NO EXIT.” I assure you these are completely functional exits that you can actually use. I’ll be waiting right outside with a sign with your name.
