Amazing Sunrise SUP Tour with Vicky & Willy
Vicky and Willy were great guides on our first SUP tour!
After a short introduction, we slowly paddled along the coast of Laguna Bacalar to reach Cenote Negro in time for sunrise. We were a small group of just five people, which made the experience feel very relaxed and personal.
After a short break at the Cenote, we crossed the lagoon to visit the Canal de los Piratas. While Willy told us about the history of this fascinating place, Vicky prepared fresh fruit and coffee for us.
After returning to Yak Lake House, breakfast was included as well, which was a lovely way to finish the morning. We also received all the pictures our guides had taken during the tour — a wonderful souvenir of the experience!
Thanks again to Vicky and Willy for taking such good care of us and for making our sunrise SUP tour such a great experience!

You have to experience it.
The experience is spectacular, 100% recommended not to bring a cell phone and focus on living and seeing everything beautiful along the way.
The guides Vicky and Willy make everything very easy, super detailed in the explanation, they convey confidence and they focus on capturing the best and most genuine moments with the photos.
Without a doubt, I would do it again.

Incredible experience.
An incredible experience! 🌊
The paddleboard activity was very well organized and was very fun from start to finish. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff is always attentive and makes everything easy, even if it is your first time.
Without a doubt, it is an experience that I highly recommend for going with friends, as a couple, or with family. It is an excellent way to enjoy the moment, relax, and spend some time doing something different. I would definitely come back!
Thank you Dani and David our instructors, you are the best. 😎

Adventure Lab is always a yes
We were supposed to do the Paddleboard Tour but we finally changed our means of transport at the last moment to go by canoe. There were 4 of us, with 2 people per canoe, and despite the weather and the wind, we had a great time. The guide was very interesting and also managed in French even though it was not planned. It was really cool to see that once again, for an activity with Adventure Lab, the guide spoke French even though it was not planned at the start.
He prepared some really excellent fruit for us, allowed us to swim a little, and we were able to enjoy the lagoon quietly at sunset. The clouds meant that the sunset was a little less visible than expected, but the colors were still magnificent. A very nice excursion, which we highly recommend!

Bacalar sunrise beautiful scenery recommendations
SUP will be a bit challenging, but the view of the sunrise on the lake is breathtaking, and you can truly experience the lakeside beauty. There will be two coaches to assist with paddleboarding; they are very friendly and attentive.
