This sailing tour is born of our love of the 7 Colors Lagoon and the desire to share it in an authentic and relaxed way. It’s not just a walk – it’s a space to live together, laugh, toast and connect, whether you come with friends, family, your partner or traveling alone and eager to meet people from all over the world. For 5 hours we sailed without haste, exploring some of the most special corners of Bacalar: the Pirate Canal, Bird Island and the Emerald Cenote. There is time to swim in turquoise and crystal clear waters, sunbathe, listen to great music and just enjoy the moment. On board we share unlimited beers and tequila, prepare a picnic with tacos, guacamole, pico de gallo and fresh fruit, and accompany you with bilingual guides in Spanish and English, so that you feel comfortable, welcome and at home from the beginning. We want you to live the lagoon as we do: calmly, with good vibes and memories that remain.
