An incredible experience
It was really cool! There was no one else with us on the tour so it was calm and quiet, we could hear the birds singing, the experience was very different, and Daniel and Mariano were the best guides, they told us extremely interesting facts, we had a very good time. If you have the opportunity to do this tour, ask for it to be with them, you will not regret it.
Operator response
¡Muchísimas gracias! Qué bonito que hayan tenido el tour solo para ustedes, con toda la calma de la laguna y el canto de las aves. Daniel y Mariano van a estar felices de leer esto. ¡Los esperamos pronto para otra experiencia en Bacalar!

Dreamy sunset
I took the paddle board tour with Daniel and it was wonderful
He has patience and a lot of professionalism to make you understand in an easy and practical way. Even though I was afraid to stand up, his advice helped me to do almost the entire tour standing up
He took me to an exclusive area that is further back in the pirate canal and it is really cool
He also helped me by taking photos and we had a break to rest, eat a little fruit and water, and continue the tour
I recommend it a thousand times!!!
Operator response
¡Muchas gracias por tu reseña! Nos encanta saber que, con la paciencia y los consejos de Daniel, lograste hacer casi todo el tour de pie y disfrutar ese rincón tan especial del Canal de los Piratas. ¡Te esperamos pronto de nuevo en Bacalar!

Sunset boat trip
Jesus and David were the best crew to go with! Hilarious, amazing vibes and catered to our every need. Very informative about where we were going and the history but kept it light with lots of jokes and laughter! Highly recommend going and request them if you can 10/10 experience

Great way to view the best sunset ever
We had a great time on the lagune of bacalar. Vicky, David and Luis were good guides they took us to the best places and explained the origine of the black cenote, pirate canal and more. Moreover they took us to a brilliant place to watch the sunset. You need to get up early but it worthwhile the effort.
