Great Times! - We had the best time on this excursion! Our guide Selena was beyond amazing! From start to finish she was great. Or van driver Pachuco was awesome. We got picked up just outside the port gates and were greeted with a smile, waters and beers! The 1.5 hour drive went fast with her knowledge and conversation, she even let us play our own music on our speakers. The lagoon was fantastic with warm water, shallow waters and of course beautiful views. Our boat driver, Armando, was super friendly and helpful. They provided endless beers and tequila throughout the trip. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was so delicious with giant tacos and spicy salsa (mild as well). We had 9 people in our group and every one of us had a blast. Five starts all around for everything! Selena was a 12 out of 10!

Best day! - Selena, Selena, selena! She was our guide and she was absolutely one of our favorite highlights of our excursion. Of course seeing the beautiful cenotes was incredible but her energy was contagious and she made it so we had one of the best days of our whole trip. She met us after we got off our cruise ship and took us to a car that drove us to a boat. It’s a longer journey but Selena made it entertaining.

Beautiful day in Bacalar - Absolutely beautiful! Guides were great about providing detailed instructions on where to meet them outside of the port. We boarded a van for a beautiful ride that lasted about 1 hour and 20 mins. We then cruised around the lagoon and several cenotes and parked at a spot where we spent about an hour swimming in the crystal clear waters. After that we grabbed a delicious lunch of tacos. Our guide was fantastic - very knowledgeable and friendly. Provided more than enough snacks and drinks throughout the tour. Highly recommend this tour! Got back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare.

Must do in Costa Maya! - The entire process was 5 stars. Booking was very easy and they always answered any questions I had within minutes usually. Adan was our guide and he was awesome! The lagoon is so beautiful and the swimming was amazing! If you are in costa maya on a cruise you must book this. They had us back to the port with time to spare. They provided all the beer and tequila on the excursion. Also a local taco place was included. Thanks again for everything.

Lagoon with 7 colors - Bacalar is a city located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. the first inhabitants of the place are the Mayans in pre-Columbian times. In 1543, the city was captured and occupied by the Spanish conquistadors. The city is bordered by the magnificent Bacalar lagoon overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The lagoon is also called the seven-colored lagoon. Its waters are beautiful.

Amazing - Thank You Francisco - From the snacks & tequila, beer and other beverages offered as soon as we entered the perfectly cooled van, to stopping for fresh pineapple/mangos and serving us in the water, to the absolutely delicious lunch NOT TO MENTION THE AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS BACALAR 7 COLORS LAGOON made for a perfect time! Francisca picked us up and got us back on the cruise ship in perfect timing! He made our tour so enjoyable and will absolutely do this again. Thank you Francisco!!

Great time!!! Wonderful guide and drivers. - Tour guide was very nice, he called to make sure we were headed to the correct location. He didn’t have the kind of drink I wanted so he had someone bring it out to our boat. They served us pineapple and mangos in the water. The restaurant he took us to had excellent food he even preordered so we wouldn’t have to wait. Driver was also very pleasant. I would recommend this tour. Also beautiful water at the lagoon.
