★★★★★★★★★★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…”

A big highlight was our captain, Jhonatan. He was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and attentive. He shared interesting facts about the lagoon, its history, and nature in a way that made the tour fun and educational.

Catamaran Adventure: Sailing and Swimming in the Bacalar Lagoon

13.Catamaran Adventure: Sailing and Swimming in the Bacalar Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $55

3-hour catamaran sailing on Laguna de Bacalar with 7 shades of blue, snacks, drinks, and time to swim from Casa China.

“The lagoon is beautiful and we were glad to have seen it. Costa Maya doesn’t offer a ton as far as excursions go and I feel this was the best thing to do. Be aware it is a long drive from the cruise port, about an hour and 20 minutes and will cost at least $300 for a group of 7 to get there. Our tour guide and captain were not great compared to the reviews I read. They did the minimum that was required per the description. We still had a good time! Our driver was wonderful, his name is Gabriel.”
