Additional Information

Bacalar is an idyllic town set on an enchanting inland lagoon, immersed in nature, with a presence of colonial history & pirates.

We embark upon a sailing boat to navigate our way across the mesmerizing waters of 7 different shades of blue.
The contrasting tones make a fabulous location for exploring the waterways, the hidden history & exuberant nature of Bacalar.
This place will make you feel happy & relaxed immediately, and in traveling by sail boat, a wonderfully natural alternative to noisy motorboats, you will feel integrated into this wonderful environment.

An absolute must for those interested in beautiful landscapes, nature photography, sailing & water sports. Great for a family day out or simply to get away from the Riviera Maya for something more laid back. The lagoon is a virtually unknown alternative to the beach, with the clearest of water you are ever likely to see.

Unique and gorgeous area worth the drive - This Bacalar tour was amazing! We are Mexico - and especially Yucatan - junkies, but Tulum had been the furthest south we had gotten. We only learned about Bacalar through visiting Mexico Kan Tours' website, as we're repeat customers. (We took a cenote + snorkeling tour back in 2019, which we loved.) Seeing and learning about this unique and gorgeous area was very worth the long day/drive from Tulum. Both the guide and the sailboat captain were great as were the two restaurants we ate at. The cruise consisted of two stops for swimming at teal-water areas near Bacalar - sailing past Island of the Birds and mangrove clusters on the way. We were also able to pick-up our customary figurines at a local vendor to add to our collection. The tour includes even more Bacalar wandering time after the post-cruise lunch, which we didn't utilize as we were tired and wanted to start heading back. We're definitely planning on returning to Bacalar during another trip in the future, as there is so much to see and do. Long story short: we highly recommend this tour!

A magical tour to remember - A very magical sailing trip, hands down! Iber is a very knowledgeable guide who gave us a good history of Bacalar. We saw the colors of the waters change drastically as the sky shifts from cloudy to sunny. We also saw the seven different colors as we stopped by pirate channels, bird islands, and the cenotes. Our day ends with a relaxing meal at a restaurant built around an impressively big baby on tree, right next to the lagoon, and a visit to the fort that used to keep the pirates out. Bonus: finding a cotton tree in the towns square.
