Early morning Sunrise Kayak Tour of the Lake!! Amazing Experience!
We booked after we arrived in Bacalar because we were unsure of exactly what we wanted to do. This tour had a very early pre-dawn arrival time which I was apprehensive about because it was my first day of vacation. But I am so glad that I got up to go! And just a quick note, I was very sick my entire vacation, even on this day! But again, what an amazing experience!! Our tour ended up just being our guide Adrian and my husband and myself. I believe others were to join but did not show. So we had our guide all to ourselves. We had the choice of a kayak or SUPs. And because of how I was feeling, we chose the double kayak so my husband could help pull some weight for me. Adrian was very knowledgeable on Bacalar and the area. He was attentive to our questions and very interactive with us. We like to ask lots of questions and engage with our guide. The trip took us out into the lake where we stopped to watch the sunrise while munching on fresh fruit and drinking coffee. It was a spectacular sunrise that morning, one I know I will not forget! We proceeded past bird island and on to Cenote Negro. From there we slowly made our way back to where we began. It was such a peaceful morning. We were up and out before any of the boats with motors. It was our favorite part of our trip to Bacalar! There is probably no better way to see the lake or cenotes. We highly recommend DayTour Bacalar and Adrian!!
