Incredible experience with Captain José Banda
Superb afternoon with Casa China Tours and Captain José BANDA!
We did the Grand Cenote, the Pirates' Channel with a swimming stop 🏝️ in crystal-clear, soft, and warm water, a break for a cold drink and fresh fruit, and a final stop at the Las Velas Club.
Everything was really great: the scenery, the drinks, and especially the atmosphere on board thanks to our Captain😄
José is super nice and really made our time wonderful! We laughed a lot and had a very good time, a pleasant person who is passionate and shares his region and his country with great sincerity, which he conveys naturally!
Thank you for this beautiful day 💙 The French friends

Tour was fun. The lake is...
Tour was fun. The lake is beautiful. I felt like we paid for the boat ride and drinks- which were worth it, but there wasn’t really a tour or too much information given. I would have like to learn more about the lake itself
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the lagoon and drinks. We appreciate your feedback and will work on sharing more interesting information about beautiful Bacalar.
