Highlights
  • Casa China Bacalar - At the entrance of our marina at Casa China Bacalar, our team eagerly awaits your arrival. Here, you’ll be equipped with all you need to embark on a thrilling 3-hour journey on paddle boards or kayaks.

Prior to setting off, we’ll engage in some pre-activity stretches and a warm-up session, followed by a brief 10-minute tutorial covering equipment handling and safety protocols.

Your adventure kicks off at the majestic Cenote Esmeralda, the grandest cenote of them all. As you glide over its reflective waters, you’ll experience the sensation of floating amidst the clouds. (Photo Moment: Seize the chance to snap an incredible picture when the water’s surface is still, creating a perfect reflective illusion.)

Navigate through a picturesque waterway leading to our initial swim stop, where you can plunge into the refreshing waters as the first sunlight streaks across the sky, casting vibrant hues. This memorable moment is sure to be etched in your memory.

Your journey proceeds to the avian haven, where, depending on the time of year, you can spot a variety of native and migratory birds, all while savoring a delightful floating picnic accompanied by the natural chorus of bird calls.

This experience is an absolute ‘must’ when you’re in Bacalar!

Paddle south at dawn. Super recommended! - Super recommended experience to start the day!! We saw a spectacular sunrise, and the company of Adri and Susi were incredible. They made the paddle surf ride very pleasant. And the coffee with the fruit was delicious!

The best way to start your day ☀️ - Angelo was very professional, kind, caring for us. We were several people who never paddled before and he taught us well. I was very scared but he reassured me, and really helped. He’s a very good teacher. He gave us tips to paddle better as well. The tour was super nice, chill, we had all the time we needed, there was no rush. The sunrise was amazing. We Aldo’s has explanations about the local fauna and flora. We ended up all getting to know each other and having a great time. Angelo spent some time discussing with each of us, in so many languages ! It was an amazing morning. I cannot stress enough how amazing this tour was!! You really really have to do it !

Great experience with Angel! - Angel was an excellent guide! The tour was super nice, we arrived perfectly to see the sunset and from there we swam in the black cenote. Angel was giving us tips for riding the board and telling us about the lagoon and recommendations for where to go next. Everything is very cool!

A very fun experience - I don't find a con in this experience, nor the price since it is completely worth it, Angelo who was our guide was quite friendly, eloquent, attentive and fun. In fact, I even feel that we were the bad guy, I was delayed because of my sister who had a hard time rowing and Angelo, very attentive and eager to support, was there without any problem or inconvenience to help us, the experience was very pleasant, maybe we couldn't fish the sun at dawn because it was cloudy but I even forgot how much fun I had.
