Adventure Lab, it's a yes!
We did the Lagoon Boat Tour and despite rather changeable weather, we had an excellent time. The lagoon is magnificent and the guide as well as the captain were truly great. The guide also spoke French very well, which was not expected and was a real plus for us, especially while traveling as a family.
We also had drinks and fruit that were truly excellent. The tour allows you to discover several places in the lagoon and to swim at different times. With this water and these landscapes, it was simply heavenly. A very beautiful excursion, which we recommend without hesitation!
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour votre bel avis ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez profité de la lagune avec le guide et le capitaine, et que le français ait été un vrai plus pour votre famille. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Bacalar !
