Great experience
First experience on a sailboat! Beautiful way to explore the Lagoon. Our captain Jorge was very kind and had very good knowledge of the area and shared interesting information that I had not previously heard on my previous tours in the Bacalar Lagoon (I’ve been on the pontoons a few times).
When we arrived at the meeting point, we didn’t find the people from Go Tour right away, but after a few minutes walking around the area, a kind guy came to greet us and told us where to wait.
We left to start sailing about 10 minutes late.
On the boat we were served fresh fruits and a small cold beer. Much appreciated!
Overall, very nice experience. Fully recommended. Thanks Jorge for making this a memorable day!

The worst tour of my life.
The worst tour I have had in my life, it was unpleasant, uncomfortable and even made me feel in danger, Bacalar is beautiful but this tour completely ruins the experience.

Unique and perfect experience
Complete outing on a sailboat that allows you to appreciate the extraordinary environment with the sound of the wind and not the engines. Our skipper Jorge was discreet but very attentive, which made our experience unforgettable, away from mass tourism. The included parking is an appreciable plus.

Exceptional place to vacation, have fun, and enjoy the water.
Wonderful lagoon, the sailboat ride is better because it avoids the engine noise, I suggest wearing water shoes, since there are some areas where there are rocks.

Superb walk in the lagoon. Relaxing and several swims in the magnificent turquoise water. We really enjoyed it. The guide explained the hypotheses of the formation of the cenotes well to us. Super sailor!
I recommend it

Jorge is the best 10/10
The boat tour was the highlight of our trip, Jorge was very warm, welcoming and informative. He did a great job taking us to multiple gorgeous locations and explaining all the cool geological features. Could not have asked for a better tour guide!

Book with confidence. The team behind it is very welcoming and tries to make a very nice experience for everyone on boar
Great boat as advertised. Am mentioning this, as I booked other water
tours in other areas in Tulum and PDC, which to our surprise, were not what was mentioned. Our guide was very social, giving us a bit of history of the place and was open to all kind of other topics for discussion. That made the tour a pleasant day out. We even stayed a but longer than the foreseen schedule, as he wanted to make us really enjoy the experience. + I liked the sailing skills.
