Great tour - Miguel and Belu were awesome! Very fun and knowledgeable. The places visited are beautiful, and you spend enough time at each of them.

Our Day Trip Around Bacalar Lagoon - My wife and Father in Law, were experiencing Bacalar for the first time in May, 2024. We only had 24 hours to visit Bacalar so I did some research online and found Amir Adventures. They had 4.9/5.0 rating so I decided to go with them and they did not disappoint. My wife and I have been lucky to travel a lot and as residents of Mexcio we love this country. We tend to stay away from tours as we usually adventure off and find our own experiences but with the limited time we had we wanted to explore Bacalar Lagoon with someone who knew the lay of the land. The three of us arrived at 10am at our meeting spot with Amir Adventures. We met Miguel our guide and captain for the day. He was welcoming and we could already feel his good energy. Our boat for the day was big. It could fit 20 people but today there was only 6 of us as we were coming into slow season. I won’t spoil any of the spots we went to but Miguel took us to see some incredible areas to swim. He also took us to some cenotes where he told us all there was to know about how deep they were and how they were formed. All around it was an incredible 4 hours and worth every penny. Miguel was so friendly and constantly topping up our drinks alcoholic/non alcoholic (included with our tickets) all day. We had done tours back in the day but I must say this one tops the list. If there was any criticism about the tour I would say that the tequila they were serving wasn’t the best. As we’ve lived in Mexcio for 2 years now we’ve come accustomed to some nice tequilas. Although the beer was ice cold and Miguel was making drinks for the 6 of us all afternoon. Plus there’s a fun treat he did for us at our last stop. Thanks again Amir Adventures for a wonderful day and thanks to Miguel for making the day one to remember. Bacalar is stunning and you must experience it for yourself. Pictures online or YouTube do not do it justice. Even though our time was short there it was one of best places we’ve visited in Mexcio to date. We look forward to returning to Bacalar again. Until then I hope you guys enjoy the tour the same way we did.

Great boat trip on an impressive lake! - Had a great trip guided by Miquel and Marleen. We received a lot of explanation about the lagoon and had a number of stops where you could enjoy a swim. At the last stop a delicious fruit lunch was served. Furthermore, there was more than enough drinks/drinks on board. Please note that there is plenty of room in the shade on the boat, but we got very sunburned from the short swimming stops! Rubbing is not allowed because it will damage the minerals in the water, so make sure you either swim with a T-shirt on or shorter. Furthermore, it was breathtakingly beautiful and also very pleasant on the boat.

Once in a Lifetime Experience! - We had an awesome time on this tour! The company will message you on WhatsApp and confirm your booking and arrival ahead of time. There is free parking and bathrooms at the dock. Miguel and Melena were great tour guides and took us to three great swimming spots and showed us the cenotes within the lake. The open bar is great with beer and tequila cocktails and juice, pop and water for those who don’t drink alcohol. Near the end of the tour there is a whole fruit platter that we were served in the lake! Bananas, apple, pineapple, and mango and avocado toast. The mangoes were amazing! We had a small group of only 6 people which was fantastic and we got to request music and they even pulled out hammocks for us to use on the boat. This was such a special experience and I think it was well worth the cost. A few things to keep in mind: - No sunscreen is allowed on the lake to conserve the water and the organisms growing in it. I was so glad to see the care and concern that people have for conserving this incredible natural beauty. That being said, bring a towel, hat, and sunscreen to cover up from the sun. - They’ll take your shoes at the beginning of the ride so no need to wear sandals. If all you’ve got is runners that’s okay. - A full tour is around 15 people. If you’d rather have something that is guaranteed small, book a different tour. - make sure to eat beforehand! It’s not a full meal that is served. Just fruit and some toast. Especially be sure to eat as the beer and tequila is flowing and you’ll need something in your belly. - Ask questions! Make the most of your tour. There is lots of swimming and info given, and if you want to know more Miguel knows lots about things to do in Bacalar and where to eat, etc. - There were no kids on the tour we booked, but if you do have kids keep in mind that this has a bit more of a “party boat” vibe. We were listening to music, drinking, and talking while on the boat. Some people might not be into that, but if you are it’s fantastic and good fun. Don’t hesitate to book this! Such an awesome opportunity to explore the lake and check out some cool spots only accessible by boat!
