We passed a lovely afternoon and sunset on a boat in a small group (5 people and 2 hosts) with stops for swimming and different places to visit (black cenote, bird island). The guides David and Alex were super nice, explained a lot about the culture and nature of the beautiful lagoon. Had the best time! Would definitely recommend and even book the tour again next time in Bacalar!

A nice catamaran ride in the afternoon. The crew is very friendly and we spent a few hours enjoying the view. I would have preferred without music just listening to the breeze and the catamaran sailing.

We booked the catamaran private trip with Jesus, it was great. He is really nice and professional ! We shared a really nice moment with him Thanks !

Superb experience with 2 top guides (David & Alex) who took us on a private tour of the lagoon. To do every day

Amazing catamaran tour ❤️. A must in Bacalar. Thanks!
