Sunset kayak with Luis
Our sunset kayak trip with Luis was unforgettable. He was an incredibly insightful guide, sharing fascinating stories about the history of Bacalar and the lagoon that really brought the place to life. Paddling out as the sky changed colors was the perfect way to end the day—we highly recommend joining him!

Soothing and adventurous
We did a group tour with our family of four. There were 3 supervisors who all spoke good English and knew a lot about the area. All in all a great experience, really as indicated on the site.
