The trip was a wonderful experience. We got to make a few swim stops at beautiful locations with incredibly clear water. The guides were great and they never left our drink cups empty during the tour. The fruit served in the water was refreshing.

Will absolutely recommend. Lovely vibes, crew and drinks!! Got to see the cenote and swim in the crystal blue water. The tour did not feel rushed, but wished it lasted longer.
Beautiful tour of the lagoon!

It was a rare rainy and gray day in Bacalar, but Raúl made our trip fun! We had music, drinks, and he showed off his knife skills with an awesome fruit platter! Definitely recommend!

Wonderful hosts, unbelievable scenery!
Ben_G, Feb 2024
Raul and Ellie made this experience spectacular. So friendly, so accommodating. We had a great time seeing all the unique spots around the lagoon. The trip is about 3 hours (I think) but it is so laid back and chill. Our group of 4 was with a larger group of 12 and so we got a chance to meet some great people from many different countries. That adds to the experience of the tour. Great drinks, delicious fruit, friendly co-travellers, wonderful hosts, and unbelievable scenery. This is absolutely a must-do when in the area.

Thank you Ben! we are happy that you had a wonderful trip at the lagoon :)
Perfect day on the water
Kim_S, Jan 2024
It was a wonderful day and I loved the captain and crew. I would do this again for sure! We had some really good fruit and stopped a couple times to swim in crystal clear water that wasn't too deep.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your nice comments Kim! we look forward to welcoming you on your next visit :)
Bacalar Dream!
Bekah_K, Jan 2024
Book this tour! Miguel and Ellie were our tour guide and bartender. My husband and I had so much fun and learned a lot about Bacalar and the lagoon. We spent most of the tour in disbelief that this was real life. Never have I seen such beautiful water and foliage. The group was so fun and we had plenty of time to visit and learn about one another. As if the colors of the lagoon weren’t amazing enough, the surprise at the end of our evening tour was something straight out of a movie. The tour was the perfect combination of relaxing, indulging, learning, and having a blast! We will definitely return if we are back in Bacalar again!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you! it was a pleasure to welcome you. We look forward to your next visit to Bacalar :)
A fun swimming day
Sasha_T, Jan 2024
This tour was fun and a good experience overall. The captain and bartender were both amazing and great to chat with for local recomendations as well as travelling beyond Bacalar. Playing volleyball in the water and hearing the history of Bacalar & the cenote's was definitely the highlight of the tour. The only thing I felt was sub par about this tour is the fact that we were only able to see the cenote's, we didn't actually get to swim in them. Also, the pricing of the tour was quite expensive for how little we did/saw. Realistically we went from one end of the beach to the other over a 4 hour span with 45 minute stops in shallow area's to swim. Overall, it was a fun experience to do with friends mainly because of the open bar but I would not pay $78 for this again. I think if the price was $50 it would have been a much better cost - experience ratio that would make me give it 5 stars.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your feedback Sasha. All comments are important to us, we work hard to provide the best experience to our customers. PS. The price is 50 usd per person (may vary in cents due to exchange rate). I hope you enjoyed the beauty of Bacalar :)
Definitely do this!!
Zan_M, Jan 2024
Miguel and Ellie were amazing and very acccomodating. I told them it was my partners birthday and they went out into town and bought her a cake and a candle and sang to her. Ellie made strong and very good cocktails. Such a great day out thank you!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for sharing! we hope he had a wonderful birthday :)
must-do

we absolutely loved this tour and had so much fun! the tour stops are absolutely beautiful (mostly the same as on any other tour), however, the guides are extremely fun and entertaining and obviously love their job which makes it way better than a lot of other tours.

Great boat tour! Miguel and his colleague made it fun! I was initially late to my tour and missed it but this company was kind enough and let me join a tour the next day. I appreciate their flexibility!

Thanks for sharing your experience. We are glad you had fun 😊
Best day in Bacalar
Molly_I, Jan 2024
I would absolutely recommend this trip. Miguel and Ellie were both so friendly, knowledgeable, fun and I’m so glad we had them on our trip. We learnt a lot about the lagoon and the history and conservation of it which was super interesting. On top of that you get to swim in some of the most beautiful water I’ve ever seen alongside a gorgeous fruit buffet served on a paddle board - incredible. 10/10! Wish I could have done the trip again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks Molly! It was a pleasure to welcome you. See you next time!
Fantastic afternoon at Bacalar Laguna
Uri_F, Dec 2023
Great trip with friends and young kids (1,2,5), had swimming time three times and saw the highlights of the laguna. Team was great in explaining about the ecosystem, pouring the free flowing drinks and cutting a lovely fruits spread at the end of the trip at sunset. Highly recommended

Super fun!
Brian_P, Dec 2023
The hosts Romel and Raul were so much fun and made the experience great. They let me connect my phone to play some lit music. Loved the tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for sharing your music and the good vibes, Brian. 😎
This tour is a must!
Robert_T, Dec 2023
This trip was excellent! They were very generous with the open bar (always a plus), they provided fruit for us while swimming in the lagoon, and they played music for us throughout the entire trip. The guides seemed to be knowledgeable, they provided us with a lot of stories and background information abut the area we were visiting. We were able to get off the boat and swim in almost each area we visited. I would definitely do this tour myself again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. See you next time, Robert.
