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.

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

Silke_L, Apr 2026
Miguel was a great guide. He was very attentive and made sure everyone was looked after, he even arranged a jetski for one lady who felt like she could not return by kayak. The tour was great and a must-do in Bacalar.

Did not show up to meet. Arrived at 0545 gate was locked, messaged via Viator and WhatsApp no answer. Was asked by Viator to stay until 0615 which we did, they still did not show, still at 0809 no call or apology from the company

We had an amazing experience with Rocío and Charly!! They were both really professional and helpful guides, answering all of our questions about Bacalar. The breakfast they prepared was delicious and in such a beautiful location.

Don't do it, not correct location, misleading information

Antriana_G, Oct 2025
Horrible experience of cycling in Bacalar at 5am in the morning, pitch black and heading to the location / meetup point, in the ticket. No lights, the road is gravel, full of holes, i'm on my feet, with the bike on my side. No signs of Amir Adventures, no sound, no people at 5am. I went into a dodgy faded red gate, because according to google maps, 3D preview, there is red gate in that location. I went in, no people around, i had a flashlight, I was scared to my bone. I left the place. It turns out, the experience provider shared the new location with me via whatsapp, on a number/phone i didn't have with me, a few hours before the experience intself. Instead of sharing it with me via email. Why the location in the ticket an dthe location of the experience were different? I don't know. I do know this was a horrible experience and if i were unlucky, something could have happened to me, as i am a solo traveller and this behaviour is unacceptable.

Thanks to Rocio’s...

A fantastic experience!

Mathieu_G, Feb 2025
I loved every aspect … seeing the sunrise while on a SUP board, lovely breakfast, swimming in the lagoon and visiting the mangroves. Miguel was an excellent and very personable guide. Would highly recommend!

MUST DO activity. So worth the early rise

Vania_R, Feb 2025
100% worth getting up in the dark and trekking to the lagoon while it’s still dark. Once you get in the water is warm and the views of the sunrise are Immaculate. Our guide romel was so knowledgeable of the area and bacalar lagoon. The breakfast was exquisite! We will be back every time:

Easy also for beginners, nice atmosphere. Unique experience for anyone, old or young, fit or less fit. You can also go with a canoe, if you don't like SUP

Breathtaking sunrise experience on a paddle board

Thank you for your visit Sam 😊

Worth it

Elonore_L, Mar 2024
Thank you to Miguel, perfect guide! It is hard to wake up that early but definitely worth it, having the Lagoon for yourself is amazing. See and swim in the black cenote is also great

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you Aracely! your review makes us happy. :)

Best way to start the day!

Johanna_V, Apr 2023
It was a fun last activity in Bacalar and very enjoyable. Miguel was very kind and sweet and so was everybody else in my group. When we got to the Black Cenote I wanted to jump from the board and got frightened at the last minute. He actually held my hand (literally) and jumped with me and everybody clapped. I felt so accomplished:) Such a sweet memory.

Top excursion

Amira_Y, Apr 2023
Miguel was incredible… tour was a dream … too thing to do in bacalar. It was fun and best way to start your day

Amazing sunrise paddle boarding experience!

Brigitte_D, Dec 2022
Being able to watch the sunrise in the middle of the lagoon’s shallow, turquoise waters while drinking coffee was amazing! We also got the chance to swim in the cenote negro. Our guide was amazing and had a ton of interesting information to share!

Miguel is a welcoming and kind guide. This was a one of a kind experience that I strongly recommend.

Memorable experience in Bacalar

Ella_S, Nov 2022
We loved this experience - the guide was great and took us to a cenote after we’d had breakfast and taken photos of the sunrise, showed us a spot to jump in and generally was super friendly and knowledgable. Recommend!

Must do in Bacalar!

Hanna_P, Nov 2022
The tour was really good organized! We started on time and we were the first ones on the lagune. The organizers spoke really good english and gave interesting information. The view with sunrise was beautifull!

The black cenote, it's story, the breakfast in the middle of the Laguna and the company. Well organized, with quality and smiling staff. Thank you

Amazing experience!

Yonah_G, Jul 2022
Really wonderful experience. The sunrise is beyond beautiful and paddleboarding is a great way to explore the lagoon. Our guide, Hector, was awesome- very welcoming and helpful in learning a completely new thing.
