My husband, son and I enjoyed the tour with Samuel! He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the lagoon and its history. He provided a friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed being able to get off and swim. The fruits were a great touch.
Our boat tour in Bacalar was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Samuel, was fantastic—he was incredibly knowledgeable about the lake's history and ecosystem, and his friendly, welcoming personality made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Both Francisco and Maria were great and did their best so that we had a great time onboard. The tour itself gives you a perfect experience of the lagoon, it is not rushed and you have plenty of time during the stops. Food and drinks really good!
“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!”
My partner and I had an amazing time!! Omar our guide was really nice and fluent in English and Spanish. The views and water was so worth our sunburn. Try to sit under the shade while moving from spot to spot on the boat!!
Sam an Ramiel were great tour guides. Took the time to explain everything, provided good vibes, and made sure we experienced the lagoon. I recommend this tour.
Fabulous experience with tequila flowing all afternoon. We were lucky enough to have Miguel and Sam on board who were both incredibly informative and a good laugh. Would definitely recommend the experience to all travellers wishing to enjoy some beautiful views, some great drinks and lovely staff!
You will see amazing scenery and learn a lot about the area from the captain who is very knowledgable
Miguel and Carlitos were GREAT guides. Very informative and genuine guys. Thank you for a wonderful time. ❤️
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!
Amir Boat Tours ran a very nice tour. We were a group of 4 and had the whole boat to ourselves. It wouldn’t have been as good if the boat was packed. It could hold at least 13 and maybe as many as 18, but don’t rely on that from me. What really made it special was Rommel, our guide. It’s clear that he loves his job and he is e knowledgeable and enthusiastic about it. We swam 3 times during our trip. The water of the lagoon is warm and clear.
Samuel was a great host, we had many chances to swim or make a drink, and enjoy views of the lagoon. Time as advertised. Great fruit spread as well!
Perfect time exploring Bacalar. Carlito and Romel were funny and took care of everyone’s good mood showing spectacular places!
The staff were great and the captain (Rommel?) was the best guide. He kept us entertained the whole time. No complaints, the whole experience was amazing
Great experience with friendly staff and healthy snacks to make our adventure even more enjoyable. I strongly recommend this excursion for singles or families who want something special in Bacalar lagoon
Great guides, they made it all! For the rest it’s a typical sailboat ride, nothing out of the ordinary, but Capi and his mariners were awesome!
I was an exceptional experience. Great views of the lagoon, great spots to swim and excellent attention from Romel and Itzel! would defenitely do it again.
I had a great time on the boat. We had a small fun group of 7 and Roman was awesome! Learned a lot about the lagoon but had a lot of fun. Arrived solo, but met some wonderful people.
This was a great experience. Miguel and Carlitos were wonderful at providing a lot of information. The fruit was beautifully presented and Carlitos was attentive in providing drinks. We highly recommend this tour.
Miguel and Itself showed us an excellent time around the lagoon in Bacalar! We had a blast at the sites on the tour, enjoyed swimming, and enjoyed the bar as well :)
Roman (sorry if I spelt that wrong hermano!) was an amazing guide and I would 100% recommend people booking with Amir. When they say free drinks and snacks they really mean it hahaha. Money well spent!
Book this tour now!!
We had an absolutely incredible 4 hours with Romal yesterday. He is funny, knowledgable, fun, responsible and has a real passion for this area and what he does.
All 4 stops were totally different and the lagoon is just stunning, it’s unlike anywhere I have ever been. The drinks and food were the icing on the cake! Tequila Sunrises at sunset! Priceless!
Amazing experience being able to learn about the lagoon while touring it on the boat. The boat took us to shallower spots on the lagoon where we felt comfortable enough to swim and frolic around. Both Miguel and Samuel were very friendly and informative.
This was fantastic and loads of fun. Our guides took us across the lagoon to some safe shallow areas for a few swims, played games with us, gave us food and drink, and taught us about the area from their local knowldge. Perfect. This is essential if you are in the area.
The lagoon trip was great. Our two guides were terrific, they told us a lot of information about the lagoon and its history. Our two guides were Romel and Sam. They were a lot of fun, kept us laughing and smiling. Sam was a new guy but he did a great job. Romel has been our guide before and just like before he was great and that’s the reason we keep coming back and booking this tour. Thanks guys and will definitely see you soon with a new group of friends. Thanks also for the great surfboard snack.
Wonderful day with captain Miguel and Sam - fun and knowledgeable guys - thank you for an awesome day!
Sam and Miguel were amazing guides! The trip was beautiful and we were well taken care of! A must do!!
Ramon was an amazing guide, we had the best experience! He was very knowledgeable and prepared the most delicious of snacks.
Charlie and Javier were great they made everything feel comfortable they did a wonderful job I fed recommend them and this company
Our tour guide Romal was so insightful on the history of the lagoon and surrounding area. He was very personable and made the trip memorable. The waters did not disappoint in their colors and were worth every effort to make it to the lagoon.
