Outstanding

Juan was a wonderful tour guide. He took the time to get to know each guest. He gave us snacks, drinks, lunch and more snacks. The lagoons were so pretty. I would recommend this tour to anyone...families as well.

The best tour of Costa Maya

It has been the BEST experience we have had in Costa Maya, Mexico. The staff is very responsible, attentive, and very hospitable. They respected the time we had to be in Costa Maya and dropped us off on time at the port. We are very grateful to Juan Corona and his colleagues Andres and Armando. Excellent people!!!! We can't wait to return.

Beautiful Water!

We had a great experience doing the tour with Adan as he was very knowledgeable and so pleasant to talk to. He made sure we were always enjoying the tour and he is a great asset for the company! We enjoyed the drinks and food that was offered and nothing negative to say, Also the boat captain was very nice and so was our van driver Manny. Highly recommended and remember to tip as they really are great! Thanks for a wonderful family excursion!

The lagoon was beautiful...

The lagoon was beautiful and the guides were very friendly. The “cenote” viewing is rather misleading as I have been to centotes before and we could swim in them and they were so beautiful, so it was a disappointment that all of these so called cenotes were underwater and there was really nothing to see. The grandkids enjoyed the swimming at the end of the tour of the lagoon.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience and for visiting us at Chac Ek Costa Maya. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the lagoon and that our guides made you feel welcome throughout the tour. It is also wonderful to know that your grandchildren had a great time swimming in the lagoon. We appreciate your feedback regarding the cenotes. Bacalar is unique because its cenotes are connected to the lagoon and remain underwater, which is quite different from the open cenotes that can be found in other regions of Mexico. We understand that this may not have matched your expectations, and your comments help us improve the way we explain these natural formations before and during our tours. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you and your family back in the future to continue exploring the natural beauty of Bacalar.

Spectacular

Excellent experience at the Bacalar Lagoon with Chac Ek Tours! From the very first moment, the organization was impeccable, and they made us feel welcome. The lagoon is simply spectacular, but what made the difference was the exceptional treatment from Juan and Andrés. Both were very attentive, kind, and always ensured that everyone was comfortable and enjoying to the fullest. Additionally, the food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Juan, Andrés, and the entire Chac Ek team for providing us with an unforgettable experience in Costa Maya. Without a doubt, we recommend them 100% and we would choose them again on our next trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A top-notch excursion!

A perfect day in Costa Maya

We had a fantastic day going to the Bacalar Lagoon. The water was breathtakingly beautiful, the time we spent in and on the water was so relaxing, and we learned so much about the island from our tour guide, Carol. Our lunch at the Loco Taco Restaurant (included in the excursion) was very tasty too. We had such a wonderful day and we highly recommend this excursion.
