    The Best Private Tour!

    Jonathan was an amazing tour guide that knows and loves the lake. He truly takes the time to explain why it is so important to preserve the lake and the history of its existence. He loves the lake as if it was a family member and shows you parts of it that are left unseen by many other tours. Support Jonathan and his efforts to preserve this precious ecosystem!

    Very pleasant and exciting boat tour! Totally recommend it. The boat is in good condition, very friendly tour guide and all information about biosphere and culture provided. Compared to other tours it gives you the whole ride of the lagoon, and is flexible regardin individual wishes ( where to snorkel etc.) One of the best experiences of our trip.
    Great day on the lagoon

    Great tour of southern part of lagoon. Jonathan is very knowledgeable and passionate about the lagoon and its ecology. Tour description says that it goes to Los Rapidos, which it does but you cant get close enough to ride the river.
    Amazing experience - go go go

    Thank you my friends, we love your review. See you soon.
    Feeling of visiting the lake with a friend :)

    This was a great tour of Lake Bacalar. I felt like I was visiting the lake with a friend, and not with a comercial tour. We were able to visit many different places and could dive in areas that had no one but us. We considered doing the sailboat tour but indeed with the fast boat you can visit more places. Jonathan was very informative and I also appreciated how conscious he is about preserving the lake. After the tour of the lake we also had a swim with snorkels in a river (which was our meeting point) connected to the lake, where Jonathan took pics with the gopro, which he later sent to us. The tour was a nice, chilled experience and we felt Jonathan was willing to adapt to our needs and wishes. Also, the sandwiches given as the snack were delicious and home made! I definitely recommend this tour!

    That's right friends, a tour outside of the commercial taking into account the places and distances we travel. It was a pleasure to take you for the discovery of the treasures of this freshwater Caribbean paradise and even more pleasure to know that you valued and enjoyed them !!. Nos vemos pronto !
    Beste Tour um die Lagune zu erleben.
    Jrg_J, Apr 2024
    Die Tour ist lohnenswert und sollte man unbedingt den anderen vorziehen. Wir hatten davor bereits mehrere Touren in der Lagune gebucht. Diese ist aber wirklich die beste, da man an Orte fährt die man sonst nicht sieht. Das Boot ist nicht das neueste aber vollkommen in Ordnung. Wir würden die Tour immer wieder buchen. Man sieht und erlebt einfach mehr. Nur zu empfehlen!
    Incroyablement beau

    Le lieux est magnifique … exceptionnel … et l’organisation permet de profiter de tout, au maximum. Notre capitaine/guide, Jonathan, a été parfait : culture, connaissance des lieux, amabilité, gentillesse … il a vraiment beaucoup donné et nous lui en sommes reconnaissant.

    Muy bonita experiencia, la laguna y su entorno son muy bellos. Jonatan es un guía experimentado ameno y chingon ! Gracias
    LINDO PERO GACHO

    Cuando llegamos y vimos la lancha (tiburonera) casi nos regresamos, estaba en muy estado, la lona rota y mínima, sin sombra casi, hielera rota con agua al tiempo, fuimos a comprar bebidas y hielo, los salvavidas daban asco! Sin embargo, Jonathan nos hizo el viaje muy ameno e interesante y los lugares que nos llevó fueron único y espectaculares ! Salvó el tour ! No me atrevo a recomendarlo, aunque el tiempo no se sintió... Si tan solo tuviera más sombra, el agua fría y mejores salvavidas todo seria perfecto. Los rápidos de Bacalar con el arrecife de estromatolito es bellísima, la isla de los pájaro el mejor lugar para estar en el agua. El lago estaba como espejo
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    Hola ! antes que nada una disculpa pues tuvimos un inconveniente con nuestro equipo y toco pedir prestado de emergencia. Sobre la lancha, somos muy claros con el tipo de embarcación que usamos, hay fotos en todos los sistemas, nuestra lancha es una lancha de exploración, es del tamaño exacto para entrar a los lugares que entramos y nadie mas entra, incluso nuestro techo sombra es constantemente derribado por los manglares cuando entramos en el rio salvaje. El agua, es de cortesía, por si alguien no lleva bebidas, normalmente nuestros viajeros llevan sus botes reusables y sus propias bebidas, esto se les avisa mediante un mensaje de recomendaciones un día antes de su tour para que se preparen. Sentimos mucho que no hayan disfrutado al 100 esta experiencia como todos los demás viajeros, si regresan a Bacalar les haremos un descuento en nuestra experiencia "La Isla en la Ruta del pirata" eso si, les avisamos que es una experiencia increible, todo terreno y que incluye agua solamente, deberan llevar sus bebidas y hielo si es que asi lo quieren y la lancha será la misma guerrera que nos mete a lugares donde otros no llegan, por supuesto que tendremos una hielera y chalecos decentes. Abrazo grande.
    Magnifique moment! À faire absolument !
    Candice_B, May 2023
    Incroyable ! Tout s’est merveilleusement bien déroulé, Jonathan le capitaine fait en sorte que vous passiez le meilleur moment possible, il vous explique tout ce qu’il y a à savoir sur la lagune, la faune, la flore, l’histoire locale, c’est un passionné passionnant ! Il ne vous presse pas, vous laisse le temps pour profiter de chaque endroit dans lesquels il vous emmène, il s’arrange pour éviter les moments où il y a le plus de touristes par site, vous demande votre avis à chaque arrêt, et son bateau étant petite, il se faufile dans des endroits où les gros bateaux de touristes ne peuvent pas se rendre! Nous avons passé une matinée absolument géniale dont nous nous souviendront longtemps! Allez y les yeux fermés, vous ne le regretterez pas!
