Beautiful sunrise with a visit to cenotes and a lagoon
We loved the experience, it was very beautiful to see the sunrise at the lagoon. Our guide Angelo was very kind and attentive, he briefly explained to us how to use the paddle board and gave us information and facts about the place. We observed birds and turtles. I highly recommend it.

Absolute recommendation – An unforgettable SUP experience with Angelo!
If you are looking for a guided stand-up paddling tour, Angelo is absolutely the right person to go to! The tour was an all-around successful experience from the first to the last minute.
Angelo is a fantastic guide: He explains everything in a super understandable way even for beginners, ensures a safe feeling on the water from the very beginning, and simply finds the perfect mix of relaxed paddling, exciting tips, and the best mood. You notice immediately how much passion and local knowledge he brings with him.
The route was chosen beautifully, the atmosphere pleasant and relaxed. I felt in the best of hands at all times and enjoyed the time on the water immensely.
A huge thank you to Angelo for this great day! I would book the tour again anytime and can only warmly recommend it to everyone. 5 out of 5 stars! 🏄♂️✨

Magnificent experience.
The tour of the 7-color lagoon was magnificent at dawn. Even though we had a bit of fog that hid the sun, the colors were very beautiful!
Our guide Angelo was very kind and told us some anecdotes about the places. Swimming in the black cenote with a depth of 100 meters was a great experience!
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié les couleurs de la lagune malgré le brouillard. Merci de nous avoir choisis et nous espérons vous revoir à Bacalar !
