It is not difficult as I thought, the experience was memorable, and also please take in count you need celular protector for water to take amazing photos, in this activity the person in charge just took two, so if you want to remember the experience, wear cell phone protector

Very cool experience. You are in a small group before sunrise, so you almost have the lake to yourself. Beautiful to see the sun rise and then paddle a bit over the beautiful lake. Definitely a must do in Bacalar!

We enjoyed a wonderful paddle tour on the lagoon with very good guides Andres and Adrian! Beautiful sunrise view. Get out of bed early, but really recommended!

Beautiful tour and a great start to the day. Our guide Andres ensured a personal atmosphere and made the tour a wonderful experience. Clear recommendation!

Adrian was a super good guide! We even went out in the rain! He encouraged us to do it and in the end it opened up the super beautiful sky!
