We will meet you at CASA SIRENA Pier, 15 minutes before the tour time. The captain will show up with the group and give the necessary information and instructions to enjoy the experience to the fullest. The adventure begins! During this tour you will be able to know the most important sites of the Lagoon of 7 colors. You will sail through the different cenotes (Black, Emerald and Cocalitos), swim in the crystal clear waters of the famous Pirate Channel, and enjoy the calm and beauty of Bird Island, where you can see different species of local and migratory birds depending on the season. We love to spoil them. That’s why the captain will wait for you on the boat with a snack with the best seasonal fruits, waters and a complimentary iced beer. ATTENTION!

Exceptional tour guide and experience at an reasonable price!

For $500pesos a person we had an amazing 2.5 hour tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the lagoon. We had a great experience with beer, food, and a good time swimming in the lagoon. Definitely recommend.

Boat ride on Bacalar lagoon.

It has been super interesting and pleasant to sail with Silvia in such a wonderful place. In addition to taking great care of us and playing wonderful music, she has shown us all the wonders of the lagoon, teaching us the extraordinary natural value it possesses, and that we must preserve. Please, before going to the lagoon, avoid using creams, makeup... it is essential to preserve its unique bacteria, which are of extraordinary value.
