We had a great...
We had a great experience, would highly recommend this tour! The guides Carlitos and Miguel were fabulous - they were really knowledgable about the lagoon and Bacalar and were both great vibes all round. They were also crucially very conscious about the environment and preserving the lagoon which is not something you come across often. Great cocktails too!

Yes, you should book with them!
Wonderful experience with Wild Wave Bacalar out of Casa Sirena. There are so many tour companies to choose for and I'm glad I picked the perfect one. They were wonderful hosts and Silvia my tour guide/captain was fantastic. She was great at explaining everything and the importance of our environmental impact on the Laguna's ecosystem especially the estromilitios. Would recommend to everyone. Just be mindful if you're solo and no one else books the group tour you may need to make an arrangement with them for day/time etc... Also the fruit provided on board was delicious!

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.

Loved everything about it . Our captain Carlos was fun ,knowledgeable and engaged . Max of 10 people on the comfortable pontoon was perfect . Loads of swimming time . Not crowded . Bacalar is a gem . Exquisite colours across the lagoon were breath-taking . Highly recommend.

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!

Very interesting and relaxing sailing tour
Very nice tour, we enjoyed it a lot! Jorge was a great guide gave us historical insight throughout the tour, which was very informative. We had plenty of time to take a swim in two different spots as well as time to relax throughout the trip. Highly recommend the trip if you want to explore the Lagune. Thank you very much Jorge :)

Must do at sunrise
Amazing experience, I was a bit anxious at the beginning because it was my first time to do paddle board, but it is definitely worth it. A real Must do! Samuel was the perfect instructor and guide, he gave us nice advises and kept an eye on us in particular when we were paddling against the wind! Beautiful view of sunrises and nature! Such a stunning
Way to start the day! Samuel also prepared a beautiful breakfast with toast and fruit and explained us about the history and nature of the lagoon! Very grateful

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.

Fun tour with excellent captains
Most of the tours in Bacalar are quite standard and it really is the captains/guides and the boats that make the difference. I had excellent captains - Angelo and David - who were competent at managing the sailboat, knowledgeable and great at bringing the group together. The sailboat was also in good shape

Bacalar is beautiful!
The scenery is so beautiful and peaceful. The guys were very hospitable and made sure you were never thirsty or hungry. The food was prepared fresh on the sailboat and it was delicious. I would recommend this to everyone who makes the trip down here to Bacalar. We will definitely be back. Loved it. 💜

Peaceful private sailing tour of bacalar lagoon
Wonderful private sailing tour of Bacalar Lagoon. Captain Flor and her first mate Karla were knowledgable and capable touir guides. They tailored the tour to our interests and we had a relaxing and magical experience. I recommend the 4pm time slot as the light changing was beautiful. If you are looking for a natural, relaxing and informative tour of the lagoon I highly recommend. Price was reasonable as well, drinks and fresh fruit provided.
