Highlights
  • Casa China Bacalar - At the entrance of our marina at Casa China Bacalar, our team eagerly awaits your arrival. Here, you’ll be equipped with all you need to embark on a thrilling 3-hour journey on paddle boards or kayaks.

Prior to setting off, we’ll engage in some pre-activity stretches and a warm-up session, followed by a brief 10-minute tutorial covering equipment handling and safety protocols.

Your adventure kicks off at the majestic Cenote Esmeralda, the grandest cenote of them all. As you glide over its reflective waters, you’ll experience the sensation of floating amidst the clouds. (Photo Moment: Seize the chance to snap an incredible picture when the water’s surface is still, creating a perfect reflective illusion.)

Navigate through a picturesque waterway leading to our initial swim stop, where you can plunge into the refreshing waters as the first sunlight streaks across the sky, casting vibrant hues. This memorable moment is sure to be etched in your memory.

Your journey proceeds to the avian haven, where, depending on the time of year, you can spot a variety of native and migratory birds, all while savoring a delightful floating picnic accompanied by the natural chorus of bird calls.

This experience is an absolute ‘must’ when you’re in Bacalar!

Probably our highlight of Bacalar - The tour was incredible, there was for the but the sunrise was incredible and unique, Angelo, our guide, also brought us to a cenote where we could swim, jump in the water and see the side of the cenote. The smoothie they gave us was also very tasty and refreshing. Experience really recommended and amazing guide!

An experience to be experienced 🤩 - A wonderful experience. Anjelo was our guide for the sunrise paddle. We had a small portion of pineapple and a tasty local root vegetable about 15 minutes into the paddle as we waited for the sun to come up. The view was spectacular and I highly recommend taking lots of photos. We paddled around bird sanctuary island and then onto Cenote Negro. This section was pretty challenging against the current but well worth it when we got to cenote Negro. A real wonder to swim in and jump off the dive platform. A refreshing stop for chilled hibiscus tea on the way back to base. Note: it is a long time out on the board and you do need a certain level of fitness! Also, keep all belongings secured on your person, if they fall into the lagoon, depending on where you are, you may loose them if they fall in!
