/ August 13, 2026

1.Sailing Tour through the Laguna de los Siete Colores

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,521 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40Our pick

Sail Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon with a small crew, two swim stops, and brunch on board. Quiet, scenic, and great value.

“A wonderful way to get to know parts of the laguna - a small sailing boat, quiet and nice that it felt cleaner for the waters of the laguna. Irvine was a perfect captain - friendly, relaxed, skilled and informative but without constant talking so we could relax, enjoy and ask questions. His crew was also great - can’t remember her name! Highly recommend- thanks!”

Sailing Tour through the Lagoon of the 7 Colors

3.Sailing Tour through the Lagoon of the 7 Colors

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,161 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $37

Sail Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon on a 3-hour small-group trip with snorkeling gear, cenote swims, fruit drinks, and local beers.

“The lake itself is truly beautiful, making swimming and enjoying the scenery a worthwhile experience and earning it a 1-star rating. An additional star is deserved for the attentive and polite crew, who were generous in their manners. Another star goes to the facilities and personnel, who demonstrated kindness and professionalism. However, I cannot give a full 5-star rating due to the poor condition of the boats. We chose the sailing experience because it promises romance, peace, and the charm of moving with the wind. Unfortunately, this was not the case. During the trip, we relied on the noisy outboard engine for about 95% of the time, which malfunctioned and…”

He shared interesting facts about the lagoon, its history, and nature in a way that made the tour fun and educational. You could really see how much he loves and respects Bacalar—his passion made the tour even more special. He made us feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of throughout the trip.

Swim Bacalar’s 7-colored lagoon and visit cenotes, then relax in Bacalar with included lunch, snacks, drinks, and a timely cruise return.

“This was a great excursion! We had Adan and Eric as our guide and driver. They did a wonderful job. The Lagoon is absolutely gorgeous and the boat ride is very pleasant and relaxing. I will say that finding your driver is difficult. But that isn’t their fault. You must walk ALL the way out of the cruise port village and past the taxis. This is a bit of a walk and it’s really hard finding your way out of the village. Ask someone how to get out as soon as you enter.”

Staff ensured we arrived at port on time for our cruise btw! Juan and other staff were extremely sweet and feed us amazing tequila reposado from a local distillery :). The beer was okay and wise there was more of it! The food at the end was AMAZING! Don’t be scared to order more on your own dime. All around 10 out of 10!!! Thank you Juan 😁😁👌💯🔥🇮🇹”
