“We had a great time on this excursion! Miguel and Sam were great guides and incredibly gracious throughout. Our boat was full with 15 adults and 2 children. It would have been nice with fewer people -- more space to move around, get out of the sun, etc. -- but there weren't many boats out on the water, so that was nice. The drinks and snacks were delicious and there was plenty for everyone. Just keep in mind that sunscreen is not allowed in the lagoon, and you are on the water for 4 hours, so dress accordingly and bring your own towels!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 582 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Review of Bacalar’s private sailboat tour, with swimming, cenotes, kayaking, snacks, drinks, sailing lessons, and practical booking advice.

“***WoW*** We’re a couple who chose this private sailing experience out of all other tours. No loud motors like pontoons, just smooth sailings in the beautiful 7 shades of blue lagoon of Bacalar! Essential mention and shout out to our very kind, and knowledgeable Capitan Angelo & crewman Sebastian! We couldn’t have asked for better tour guides. We did also appreciate the fact that the Capitan was trilingual. (English, Spanish, & French). We learned so many details about the ecology of the lagoon and cenotes, not to mention all the wildlife sightings! We definitely recommend booking this tour. Hasta la vista!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 143 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Sail Bacalar’s quiet southern lagoon by private catamaran, visiting cenotes, mangroves, bird habitat, and an abandoned pier with fresh fruit.

“We really enjoyed our tour with Sara as our guide. She's super knowledgeable, kind and made everyone feel comfortable on our tour. She gave us options to either do the normal circuit of all the cenotes in the lagoon or to go further south to avoid crowds. We chose the southern option and were very happy about it! Didn't see very many people at all and itwas so calming to tour the lagoon on a motor-less boat. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore.”
