Great time on the lagoon with this private cruise from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Alex took us to Bird Island, the black cenote, the pirates' canal and offered us plates of fresh fruit, drinks and guacamole during the excursion. The ride is magnificent and relaxing after several days of sightseeing.
Discovering the Bacalar lagoon with Sailing Colibrí was a real joy. The team is exceptional: a very special mention to Avril, our French-speaking guide who was simply incredible, as well as the captain and his teammate who handled the navigation masterfully. The atmosphere on board was perfect, the setting sumptuous. 5/5 because I unfortunately cannot give more.
Very beautiful experience. Our skipper was great and very kind. He answered all our questions with enthusiasm and was very respectful of the environment.
Wowww! We did a private tour for 4 hours with Franco and Ryan, and the least we can say is that we loved it. The lagoon is beautiful, they pampered us and explained everything to us about the birds, the cenotes, and how to navigate. They made us have an unforgettable time with our children; the surprise with the fruit and guacamole made it incredible. We were able to see the sunset, which was the best way to end that tour. Go without a doubt.
We had chosen the private 4h walk and we regret nothing. We were kindly welcomed by Avril who speaks super good French and who explained the secrets of the Bacalar lagoon. Ryan and the captain are very kind. We were offered three moments of swimming in waters of instagrammable colors yet real. We also enjoyed an aperitif with guacamole and fruit galore. Really 4 hours of paradise on earth. Be careful, just a little advice: plan long sleeves and long legs clothes, glasses and a hat because the sun on the water, it burns... An experiment to do without question.
We had the chance to discover the Bacalar lagoon on a sailing trip of about 4 hours, and it was just magical. Sailing without an engine brings unparalleled calm and serenity. The crew is exceptional, warm, professional and with little care throughout the excursion. The course is perfectly thought out with several stops for swimming in waters with impressive blue gradients. In particular, we discovered the cenote, the bird island and the famous pirate canal, each more beautiful than the last. The small group format makes the experience even more exclusive and enjoyable. And a little more important: a delicious guacamole on board! I highly recommend this excursion to all those who wish to discover Bacalar differently, in a peaceful and authentic atmosphere.
Beautiful sailing trip on the equally beautiful lagoon of Bacalar. Possibility to swim in the warm water. Two cool and helpful guides on board. They guided us safely over the blue-green water. Delicious guacamole on the boat and good atmosphere with fine music!
We made a very nice outing on this beautiful lagoon with 7 colors, despite the wind. A very good time spent with Avril and Alexandro. Thank you for the guacamole!!! They explained and showed us the secrets of this place. The sunset was really beautiful.
Very good time, with a crew with great care. Sailing, swimming, aperitif, sunset over the lagoon... an unforgettable family moment! Long live Captain Alex!
Everything was perfect: boat comfort, privacy, incredible fruits and guacamole, super nice excursion with Franco and Ryan, very pro and discreet, nice and good advice. We recommend 100%!!!
