15 Bacalar Tours Worth Booking

Sailing Tour through the Laguna de los Siete Colores - Crossing the Seven Colors Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,521 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40Our pick

Sail Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon in a small group, with cenotes, two swims, fresh fruit, beer, and expert local crews.

“Great tour! It was nice to only have a small group (about 6), there were two groups which set of on separate boats. Both of our crew were lovely and friendly. The water is beautiful, both areas we swum in were crystal clear. We also had plenty of time, it didn't feel rushed at all. Only thing to note (which I wasn't aware of) is that you can't wear sunscreen in the lagoon, you're asked to shower when you arrive if so. Some people had long sleeve tops to swim in, which I'd recommend as I got quite sunburnt.”

“Our boat tour in Bacalar’s stunning 7 lagoon was absolutely unforgettable! The water colors were incredible, the scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience felt peaceful and magical. A big highlight was our captain, Jhonatan. He was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and attentive. He shared interesting facts about the lagoon, its history, and nature in a way that made the tour fun and educational. You could really see how much he loves and respects Bacalar—his passion made the tour even more special. He made us feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of throughout the trip. We never felt rushed—he gave us time to enjoy swimming stops,…”

“A must in Bacalar. Although we couldn’t see the sunrise due to the cloudy sky, it was still a wonderful experience. The tour was well-balanced between the required physical strength during the paddling and the moment of tranquility when relaxing in the beautiful and peaceful lagoon. Our guides are friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Vicky was amazing, and she paid attention to everyone of us and provided instructions and tips on how to better manage the motion of navigating the SUPs. Highly recommend.”

“I booked this tour specifically because it advertised both paddleboards and kayaks. I paddleboard, my father kayaks, so this seemed perfect. When I prepaid, I emphasized that we wanted 1 paddleboard and 1 kayak. At check-in, I confirmed it again. During the final tally before heading to the water, I said it again. Only when we actually reached the water was I told there weren’t enough paddleboards. At that point, I was forced into a kayak, which is exactly what I had been trying to avoid. This was never communicated until the very last moment, which was frustrating, especially since others in the group said they would have preferred a…”
