HIGHLY recommend Jhoana & Bacalar Experiences!!!! - HIGHLY recommend Jhoana at Bacalar Experiences. She was an AMAZING tour guide; very knowledgeable, super friendly & outgoing, and such a character! Her 3-ring binder of photos/maps/etc. was very helpful in understanding the Mayan culture, the area, etc. Would also highly recommend Lilia, our tour guide at the Mayan Ruins. She was so sweet, and also VERY knowledgeable. This was my FAVORITE tour/excursions from all the ports on our recent cruise. (Reviewed at: 2024-03-26)

Professional, Fun and Friendly dive shop with a great balance of instructor, guide and “Dive Buddy” - The team was amazing. Patrick was an awesome diver and guide that took the time to refresh me on some basics without making me feel bad for forgetting. He offered corrections and recommendations on areas I struggle with. Communication was no problem, the place was a simple but comfortable side shack connected to a restaurant with great food. (Reviewed at: 2024-10-29)
