Highlights
  • Costera 67 - Welcome! Our staff will kindly welcome you with a courtesy drink upon arrival at the marina located in the La Casa China Bacalar hotel facilities. There you will receive all the information and equipment necessary for your 3-hour sailing adventure.

Ahoy! We set sail from the dock and observe the Cenote Esmeralda; the largest of the entire lagoon as we move towards the Sanctuary of Stromatolites, sediments of ancestral organisms 10,000 years old.

Your next stop is the famous Pirate Canal where the shallow and warm waters create an unforgettable setting. Here you will have the chance to swim and explore the area while we prepare a delicious fruit picnic. Can you imagine the battles against pirates who tried to loot the area almost 400 years ago?

You will enter the Black Cenote, known locally as the Cenote of the Witch, a place full of fantasy and mystery. Its depth exceeds 100 meters so you will be able to appreciate a color change in the water. From this site you will understand why it is known as the Lagoon of the 7 Colors.

The last stop before returning to the pier is Bird Island, a place where you can breathe peace and composure among the symphony of birds. Depending on the season you will be able to appreciate the flight of migratory species while you immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters.

When you return to the dock, you can continue enjoying the heveanlyl lagoon by kayak until sunset.

Spectacular - In a word SPECTACULAR! Daniel and Santa Fe are super friendly and attentive at all times, they complete the already wonderful experience of touring the lagoon and the cenotes, the delicious drinks! Incredible Daniel who hardly uses the engine and we only sail with the sail which makes it even more special 🙏 It's so worth it, I'm really super happy! 10/10 the best experience!

Wow! - A superb sailing trip with Angelo who speaks French and his teammate Valentin. They were able to help us discover the treasures of the lagoon during a 3-hour outing. What a marvel, what shades of blue! As an added bonus, the drinks and fruit served were excellent.

Excellent Private Sailboat 3 hour tour of 7 colour lagoon with Captain Angelo & his assistant David. Highly Recommended! - This 3 hour Private Sailboat tour is highly recommended. Captain Angelo and David his assistant were great tour guides and made the tour very informative and fun. They took us to The Emerald Cenote, Bird Island, Vulture Island and then we went to the Pirate Channel. We enjoyed the scenery and relaxed in the blue shallow waters and took some pics. We then took a sail inside the Black Cenote also called The Witch Cenote based on a Urban Legend. Captain Angelo then took to Cocolito Cenote and an island to see the Spoon bill Storks. They provided refreshing drinks and was very informative about Bacalar, the Lagoon and the Cenotes. This tour is highly recommended, be sure to ask for Angelo and David.
