Enjoyable group boat tour. Great value as you can stay and use the kayaks after the tour.
The boat had plenty of shade and the company allowed you to wear sunscreen prior to accessing the boat. Beers, juice and water provided. Guide had great knowledge and plenty of time to have free time to swim.
Overall a great way to explore the Bacalar lagoon.

Beautiful and relaxing experience!
We love sailing and it was great to be the passenger and let someone else handle the sails. Costa did a great job and knew a lot about the area, and could even answer our birding questions. Just remember that you can't wear sunscreen so dress accordingly.

Great host for a boat tour of lagoon in Bacalar
We booked our tour about 3 hours ahead so we had a destination point when we arrived. But you can also just go at this time of year (July) to book on the spot in Bacalar.
Zayed was a great host. We really enjoyed the tour and learning about the geology of the area. It was super relaxing and chill.

Look no further as you have found the BEST.
Absolutely amazing! The crew headed by Adrien was fantastic and made all the guests feel @home as switched from English and Spanish seamlessly. The boat ride was awesome , cool history, chill atmosphere and everyone was friendly. The included snack was tasty and drinks were cold as the day was beautiful, water amazing and we truly enjoyed our time on the boat. Check-in was easy and make to visit the viewing tower that gives you a 180” view of the beautiful landscape and lagoon.

Book with confidence. The team behind it is very welcoming and tries to make a very nice experience for everyone on boar
Great boat as advertised. Am mentioning this, as I booked other water
tours in other areas in Tulum and PDC, which to our surprise, were not what was mentioned. Our guide was very social, giving us a bit of history of the place and was open to all kind of other topics for discussion. That made the tour a pleasant day out. We even stayed a but longer than the foreseen schedule, as he wanted to make us really enjoy the experience. + I liked the sailing skills.

“Amir AdvenTours is an...
“Amir AdvenTours is an absolute must if you’re visiting Bacalar. We were a family of four including two young boys — ages 3 and 6 — and our guides Samuel and Carlito made every single one of us feel welcome from the moment we stepped on the boat.
The four-hour adventure tour of Lake Bacalar was phenomenal. We explored multiple swimming spots and cenotes along the lake, each one more stunning than the last. Samuel and Carlito were incredibly entertaining, knowledgeable, and warm — the perfect guides for a family looking to experience the magic of the seven colors. And we made friends with our boat mates too!
This is hands down the best way to explore Lake Bacalar. Don’t think twice — book it!”

Amazing
Very good boat trip with a very friendly and knowledgeable captain. We learnt all about the lagoon, were given fruit, beer and had a couple of chances to swim. Please be aware that they ask you not to apply suncream before or during the boat trip. We got very burnt so try to plan ahead.

Beautiful Sunrise
This was an incredible experience, watching the sunrise come up whilst paddle boarding on the lagoon is something I will never forget. The fruit served was a lovely touch and Miguel was very informative with regards to the lagoon and nature surrounding. Would definitely recommend this, even for those that are sceptical about an early start, this is definitely unmissable.

Tour with Best Captain without the captain 💙 cap
Great experience and worth every penny we spent. Our Captain Angelo was very friendly, skilled, multilingual and knowledgeable about the lake and its eco systems. He made sure that we had the best time even though the weather was not cooperating at the beginning. It was raining little hard at the beginning but he changed the plan slightly to swim instead. It was so fun to swin in the rain. I recommend Angelo to future traveller.

Great sailboat tour!
The sailboat departs from Casa Sirena. Depending on where along the coastal road you are staying, you may be able walk or if not just taxi there. Staff was very friendly. The price includes 3 stops: Canal de Piratas, Isla de Pájaros y Cenote Negro. The water on our tour was beautiful! Good winds and a sunny day. You are not allowed to wear sunscreen. So if you burn easily, I recommend wearing a rash guard or cover up. The experience includes two beers per person and water, plus some fruit. The mango they gave us as a snack was delicious. In my case, it ended up being just two people on the boat, plus Irvin & Karla. Both very welcoming and kind. Normally the boat fits eight people.
Definitely recommend!

Great Sailboat experience
Cruising Bacalar on a sailboat was the highlight of our trip. Belen was great and not only explained the history of the lagoon but also provided basic information on the concept of sailing. We enjoyed the drinks and fruit onboard. Also the stops for swimming were excellent.

We booked a private tour...
We booked a private tour and Diego our guide was super informative, friendly and kindhearted. He showed us so much in the lagoon and was able to answer all our questions and had an amazing knowledge about wildlife and nature.
Thanks to him and to this wolderful Tour we wont forget our day in bacalar and can really recommend to try it out.
