Good To Know

  • In the event of force majeure (due to congested canals and traffic), it may be impossible to reach the island and try pulque, especially on weekend afternoons. But don't worry, the party won't stop, our team will be prepared with typical regional food.
  • All guests are guaranteed a chair on the boat. The boat chairs are the same size for all guests.
  • Optional: we could visit the Axolotl Sanctuary to see the Mexican Axolotl, with an extra cost
  • Our staff will assist guests with wheelchairs or babies to get on and off the boat.
  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
