The former is difficult to reach if you want to DIY your trip to this oceanic side of Sian Ka’an; so unless you have a 4WD car, it’s better to partake in an arranged tour. As for the latter that accesses the jungle, Mayan ruins, wetlands, lagoon, and mangrove forests of Sian Ka’an, it can be done easier by yourself with a car or by public transport.
