What people are saying about Bacalar

David and Captain Carlos gave us the trip of a lifetime. So informative and kind. The colors of Lake Bacalar are not like anything I’ve ever seen or imagined. The refreshments were a nice touch, though a bit sparse (a small fruit plate), but the beer and other drinks were fabulous. I would do this tour again as many times as possible.

A top excursion, Alejandro gave us a lot of information about bacalar and its lagoon (in English but easy to understand), the visit is complete (cenotes, pirate channel, bird island) all accompanied by swimming, drink and fruit platter.

Nearly perfect. If we had been told something about the process at reception, everything would be great. So after the registration we stood there a bit lost and then looked around ourselves until it started

A great captain took us on a nice cruise on the Bacalar Lagoon to help us discover magnificent spots! Very pleasant time spent on the catamaran and it's magical to swim in these fabulous places!

Excellent experience in this beautiful place. The walk is calm and relaxing with superb views. Our captain, Sarah was awesome.
